I think it's a bit like a lot of talk after the failed Xmas Day non-bomber. There was lots of chatter about why hadn't he come right out and 'calmed our nerves'.

The engineers have been working on the solution, a solution that takes too long for people who live in a world where they 'want it and they want it now' regardless of physical reality.

The 'pundits' yelling so loud are not down in the Gulf helping with anything, yet they could be.

I don't think it's Obama who hasn't handled a crisis well. I think there are a lot of Americans who hadn't handled things well. And some of those Americans seem to long for a King or Tsar who rules everything and also chats by the fireside with them cause they so nervous and need a reasurring daddy, or some such.

If the clean-up is done well, I imagine that will be on Obama, since LA sure seems unable. And I imagine he will do it well and keep doing it while many, if not most, Americans have moved on to new things to fret about, having forgetten the people of the Louisiana coast except for when they want to make fun of them.
