US National Government's Response to Gulf Oil Spill

I have been very interested and concerned over the recent ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana has been victim to natural disasters in the past few years with such incidents as Hurricane Katrina and now this oil spill. I think if you compare the two disasters, the Obama Administration is definitely more prevalent in the coordination of relief efforts than Bush was with Katrina. Although no human lives are at stake right now with this oil spill, Obama has sought to take all possible precautions to show he actually cares for our country and the environment. Obama deployed the National Response team which is made up of 16 federal institutions such as the Department of Defense, US Coast Guard and the Homeland Security. I feel that this concern Obama has for this dilemma in the coast will ensure the best and most efficient method for achieving success against fighting this oil spill. It gives me confidence in our government for taking care of us the right way.
