I feel sorry for Gov. Jindal. He's trying to take care of his state, and he's working against two sets of incompetents--BP (not sure why they're so incompetent), and the feds (I have a pretty good idea of their problem).

Obama--tell the offending members of the Coast Guard to quit screwing things up in this case, and let the governor get some stuff done. At least one person ought to be allowed to...

Hey, rbell, want to read something that will drive your blood pressure through the roof? On June 21, 2009, Emperor Obama's website said the following:

President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
