BP (British Petroleum)... a UK or a US blunder?

This recent BP blunder apparently has had UK feeling as if the US lies blame upon, or faults the entire United Kingdom for the recent BP blunder. Is our president Mr. Obama in charge of our country? Does he not have the power to fix this issue? If he doesn't, then I haven't any idea who does??? And furthermore, how is a single organization/industrial company allowed to make such a critical decision on their own without multiple permits and clearance period! Are we all sheep??? Don't we question the obvious any longer?! Shouldn't our US Government have been regulating situations such as these and our recent "economic meltdown"! And when someone or something goes wrong... what does our government do? That's right US Citizens! They point fingers every which way but the obvious direction! When did we start holding an entire country responsible for a single company or individuals mistake/blunder just because the individual or company who F'd up happens to be of native origin of that particular country?!! Who is ultimately responsible for the well being of the US Citizens and legalities of running this country? How many of you would have allowed such a decision to be made by a single company period!? Let's mend our US/UK bridge and lie blame where it should! On a single company and a single US President! Not an entire country of innocent people who have had NOTHING to do with a greedy and careless mistake! Show the UK we as Americans are too intelligent to lie blame on an entire country due to the actions of one company or individual from that country! I have raised the "Union Jack" along with "Old Glory" to show my support to the English people, in my attempt to drown out any loose/careless comment by our US Government.
This recent misunderstanding truly makes no sense at all! It's like saying the US is responsible for Mc Donald's and Mc Donald's is responsible for making the the world OBESE!
