On another note, I find it interesting, yet not surprising that the federal government is blocking Bobby Jindal from implementing the state's plan to prevent shoreline damage. This is for purely political reasons. If Jindal does this without Obama's help and it works, he'll be a national hero. Which means that he'll be a prime presidential candidate in 2012. He's already popular in the GOP, so far the media can't dig up any dirt on him (although they're trying their hardest), and he's a minority, which means the liberal extremists can't pull the race card again.
If Jindal kicks off his plan (with or without Obama's permission), and the state needs more manpower, it may be a mission for the Louisiana Militia. Just a thought.
If Jindal had a spine he would have said f u to the feds and done it already.
But lets look at who is really to blame for this?
WHY the hell are we drilling for oil 5000 feet below the ocean? The army of leftist greenies their lawyers, judges and the spineless politicians backed by a lazy populace who wont let us drill in areas a bit more reasonable.
If this happened in shallower water it would already be old news. Dry land even better. An accident 5000 feet deep is bound to be a major cluster f**k no matter how advanced we think we are.
So at the end of the day the anti domestic oil/NG crowed is to blame for this scenario. Same story with Cali wild fires and so on and so on...
