News-channels around the country were broadcasting live feeds of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations house hearing which saw BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward getting drilled for hours about the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The well of the hearing room was lined with more then 30 photographers shooting frames of every movement that Hayward made. On the other side of the hill, being covered by only two photographers was a small business senate hearing titled 'Harnessing Small Business Innovation: Navigating the Evalaution Process for Gulf Coast Oil Cleanup Proposals'. One of of the witnesses was a small business man who owned a company that manufactured a machine that could separate the oil from the water, but do to red tape. His company as well as other organizations that were represented at the witness table, were not able to implement these savors due to the red tape that the government had in place when it came to companies that had in the past not worked with the government.
