President Obama can’t stop the oil leak in the Gulf, but he can and should be held accountable for the inept government response to cleaning it up and mitigating its worst effects on the shoreline.

But they’re largely giving Obama a pass, implying that small-government conservatives have no room to complain when government fails to live up to its responsibilities.
