It's very easy to score political points by demanding that the government "do something". It's much harder to define what it is you want the government to do. A lot of the demands now are for control and regulation - some are demanding that BP be fined for every day the oil flows. But if the President had suggested any of these items before the spill, the course of opposition would have been loud and long. Compare the positions on off-shore drilling when the announcement that it would be allowed was made a few months ago with the position of those same people now, and tell me why they aren't hypocrites.
