First you don't want to listen to Obama because you "know there's nothing he can do".
Next, you don't want to watch clips of members of Congress and other experts explaining what Obama could and should be doing.
You're just a font of wisdom and knowledge, aren't you?

Conservatives Want America to Be Dependent on Big Oil

So do Democrats.
"Obama Has No Plan To Get U.S. Off Oil"
On Dylan Ratigan's show, former oil company executive John Hofmeister talks about there being no serious effort to end the U.S. addiction to oil, no serious move toward green energy infrastructure:

Each committee member has just 5 minutes with the witness. It goes very quickly. When a witness eats up the time giving long-winded, non-responsive answers to questions that require a yes or no answer, it's incumbent upon the congressman to reclaim his or her time and try to force the witness to answer the question asked or spotlight the fact that the witness is being evasive.
These are your representatives in government, trying to get to the bottom of this, on your behalf.
Why you are sympathetic to the CEO of a criminal operation that has destroyed a region of your country, that is going to significantly change the quality of your life, is beyond me.

He doesn't seem like an arrogant jerk to me, but then again I try not to judge a book by its cover, but by the information within it.

Obama's Wrong, BP Must Be Removed From Every Aspect Of Oil Response -

Your reaction to $20 billion is like a kid's who's been handed the keys to the candy store. I hear stepped payments into a fund by a corporation that has lost $90 billion of its value in days and is trading in the sub-basement, & I question whether they'll exist to make a second payment into this fund beyond the initial $3.5 billion. I hear ""While the fund is building, BP's commitments will be assured by the setting aside of U.S. assets with a value of $20bn" and want to know which "U.S. assets", and how that might affect our continuing refusal to get off oil, and continuing risky offshore drilling.
BP's record was criminal before Macondo, yet Obama lets BP continue its other drilling operations which have caused great concern (Atlantis), and proceed with an even greater risky project ( http://ala
The deals that Obama has cut, what Obama & the DLC tend to believe is good for the People, has had corporations "popping champagne corks" before the ink has dried.
So, we'll see.

The deal is genius. No matter how hard you try, there is just no way you can spin it.
==========
We'll see.
We don't know the terms of this agreement. There are some here, you included, who at the announcement of this agreement (& about everything involving Obama) go into a fevered oversell-mode without knowing details, what Obama gave BP or got. Given his record to date, the trust & belief in Obama that is the hallmark of 0bamabots is misplaced.
You & I react very differently to what has been revealed of this agreement. From what I've seen so far of this deal and what I know of Obama's other negotiations & agreements, there's every reason to believe that BP got the better end of this deal than those directly affected by this catastrophe and the American people in general. Publicly, Obama takes a tough-sounding posture and then when he's out of oversight he cuts very sweet deals for big corporations that aren't so sweet for the People.
