Aren't the Republicans making themselves look like idiots for attacking the Whitehouse over the disaster in the Gulf?

Shouldn’t the attacks be directed at the idiots at BP? Exactly how much experience does Obama have in working 5000 feet under the sea? BP drilled this well, why should we believe they aren’t responsible for all the damage? And the government should step in and take over the cleanup, and the costs? Exactly how much of the profits, after taxes of course, did BP offer to contribute as a donation to US taxpayers just to be nice guys. Give me a break.
