This is the incompetence of the Obama regime who seems to be more adept at extorting money from BP, Chicago style, than to actually address the problem of cleaning up the oil.

59 Days Into Oil Crisis, Gulf Coast Governors Say Feds Are Failing Them
"It's the most frustrating thing," the Republican governor said today in Buras, La. "Literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting all of these barges."
Sixteen barges sat stationary today, although they were sucking up thousands of gallons of BP's oil as recently as Tuesday. Workers in hazmat suits and gas masks pumped the oil out of the Louisiana waters and into steel tanks. It was a homegrown idea that seemed to be effective at collecting the thick gunk.
"These barges work. You've seen them work. You've seen them suck oil out of the water," said Jindal.
