"Let me be really clear. Liability, blame, fault -- put it over here. Our obligation is to deal with the spill, clean it up and make sure the impacts of that spill are compensated, and we're going to do that." Lamar McKay, chairman of BP America "There's going to be plenty to time to try to figure out who is to blame. I would suggest to all three of you that we are in this together. ... This accident has reminded us of a cold reality, that the production of energy will never be without risk or environmental consequence." Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska "I hear one message -- don't blame me. Shifting the blame game doesn't get us very far." Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. "The question that remains is how are we going to clean up a $14 billion spill." Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. "The president is frustrated with everything, the president is frustrated with everybody, in the sense that we still have an oil leak. That includes us, that includes everybody that's involved with this." Robert Gibbs, White House spokesman
