There are several problems I've seen with BP's response:
- My perception (and I doubt I'm alone) is that they reacted extremely slowly. First by playing the blame game, then by (seemingly) choosing responses that have been proven to fail in the past (and in the exact same order) and in order of cost.
- The faces of BP on television (the CEO and various spokespeople) have been evasive and not emotive in their expressions during interviews. The public wants to see that the people in charge care about this, not just hear words.
- The cleanup effort has been ineffectual at best. From incorrectly placing booms to throwing toxic dispersants at the oil, there is no concerted, visible effort (at least compare to what I would expect from a company with the resources that BP has) to solve the problem of environmental damage.
- BP has actively barred the media (both indie and "professional") from documenting the spill beyond the photo ops approved by BP.
