"This article discusses the political and environmental ramifications of the April 20, 2010 BP oil rig explosion and resulting oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the aftermath of the explosion, BP has been unable to stop the continuous flow of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. President Barack Obama's handling of the disaster has been criticized. Critics argue that Obama has given BP too much control over the oil spill cleanup and been too willing to believe BP's assurances about the amount of oil being released into the Gulf of Mexico. Experts estimate that the environmental damage will last for decades."
Evan Thomas is the assistant managing editor of Newsweek magazine. Daniel Stone is a senior reporter in Newsweek's Washington bureau covering national politics and environmental policy.
