Yep, the Oil Spill Protection Act of 1990 assigned the major responsibility of oil spill containment and clean-up to the president, hence Obama's Katrina. Congress decided that after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, the private sector could not do the job, so our huge bloated government would do the job, just give them nine days to get right on it.
Specifically, the booms and other equipment were to be stored close to aircraft which could be used to deploy them in a moments notice, to contain the spill at it's smallest possible level ... Apparently after nine days of research and flopping around.
