On April 30 President Barack Obama issued an order for the federal government to hold issuing new offshore drilling leases until a thorough review determines whether more safety systems are needed and authorized SWAT teams to investigate 29 oil rigs in the Gulf in an effort to determine the cause of the disaster. On May 11, Department of the Interior released a press release, announcing that the inspection of deepwater drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico found no major violations. On June 9, the FAA issued a no-fly zone over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the affected area, effective until further notice. According to the New York Times, the Department of Homeland Security is denying media access to the area.

The Obama administration sent a $69 million bill to BP for the U.S. government's clean up effort. The bill was also sent to Transocean, Andarko, Moex Offshore and QBE Underwriting. On June 15 President Obama made his first speech from the Oval Office, addressing the BP oil spill crisis, saying, "This oil spill is the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced... Make no mistake: we will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long as it takes. We will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused. And we will do whatever's necessary to help the Gulf Coast and its people recover from this tragedy."

President Obama was criticized for continually referring to BP as 'British Petroleum', the company's former name, as it was seen as an opportunity to rally anti-British feeling within the United States.

As of May 6, 2010, the United Nations and fourteen countries offered their assistance, but the U.S. government refused the offer, with a State Department email to reporters stating "there is no need right now that the U.S. cannot meet." The countries offering help were Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. On June 14 it was reported that State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the U.S. has received 21 aid offers from 17 countries and four international groups. "We are maintaining contact with these countries, we are grateful for the offers, and we will take them up on these offers." That same day the U.K. Secretary of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, Chris Huhne, made a formal statement to the House of Commons in London about the implications of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill for the U.K. In it he expressed the U.K. Government's sympathy to those affected by this crisis. He further said that the priority must be to address the environmental consequences of the spill, and that the U.K. Government will remain focused on practical measures that can help to achieve this, including offering the U.S. dispersant chemicals.

  • That British baster look and sound like he think he is Superior to American people.

  • this guy has like 3 main responses that he used for like 80 different questions.. so it comes down to is he retarded or does he think the rest of the world is retarded?

  • Peta should go throw a bucket of oil on him.

  • the oil has now magically disappeared. What did he do with it?

  • this "public lashing" does'nt really matter. The oil is spilled, and the people who truly have the money and the clout aren't these politicians but the man on the receiving end and his colleagues.

  • There are many people in charge of something not having any actual knowledge about the specific subject. Tony Hayward is no exception in this. This hearing is great to document this situation all over again. However the governors should take into consideration that they have the same responsibility on a political level and they should be alert, and wake up themselves, regarding the corrupt NWO agenda that they are used for. I know politicians who never heard of the “Georgia Guidestones”, USA!

  • @Branigan4ever i never said he WASNT a smart ass, and and i never said he WASNT grand-standing him,he had a point to make and he made it, even with the self-glorification thrown in. and im not stupid, i saw that clear as day, dont tell me your sharper than me based on that comment

  • *Standing ovation* Captain "I don't know jack shit, I'm just the CEO" got like three new assholes ripped wide open by Cliff Stearns. He may be a smart ass, but his technique was fuckin-a on point. He made Tony Hayward look like the total complete POS he really is. The grilling was harsh, through, to the point.... and very enjoyable!

  • BOYCOTT BP!!!!!

  • The CEO seems strangly melencoly and monotonic intimating that he and therefore the copmpany really dont give a shit. The amounts of money mentioned are like pennies or cents to a billionare... they do what they want when they want, give it time and everyone just accepts and forgets... even if its chocking them to death, gota love conditioning!..... not me though, ill be laughing at them all the way, fucking lemmings!
