What impact did the 1920s Jones Act have on the clean up of the BP oil spill?

The 1920 Jones Act had almost no practical affect on the clean-up of the BP oil spill. Foreign ships were not required a waiver to help with the oil spill as long as they were 3 miles or further away from shorelines.Media Impact:Many journalists used the lack of the suspension of the Jones Act to trump up charges of President Obama not caring enough about the clean-up of the oil spill. Their claim was that if Obama cared about cleaning up the spill, he would immediately suspend the Jones Act. Although the logic was flawed, and the accusation was false, many people joined the media in finding a new person to blame, after already having Tony Hayward (former CEO of BP) resign, even though Obama's decision to not waive the Jones Act was the correct one and did not significantly affect the BP oil spill cleanup. Accordingly, Obama's approval rating suffered a few percentage points, notably more in the affected states Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Texas. Further, BP was allowed some breathing room as media attention was focused slightly away from them to the president. The continued saturated BP oil spill media coverage on this non-issue helped increase apathy to non-affected states.Legislative Impact:The renewed focus on the government put pressure on congress to pass new bills to legislatively prevent this type of disaster from occurring again.
