You never want a serious crisis go waste
Obama was not going to let the oil spill go to waste.
Perhaps you saw news footage of President Obama in Grand Isle, La., on Friday and thought things didn't look all that bad. Well, there may have been a reason for that: The town was evidently swarmed by an army of temp workers to spruce it up for the president and the national news crews following him.
It was important that it appear the One was doing something. It was important that it appeared like Obama cared.
Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, whose district encompasses Grand Isle, told Yahoo! News that BP bused in "hundreds" of temporary workers to clean up local beaches. And as soon as the president was en route back to Washington, the workers were clearing out of Grand Isle too, Roberts said."The level of cleanup and cooperation we've gotten from BP in the past is in no way consistent to the effort shown on the island today," Roberts said by telephone. "As soon as the president left, they were immediately put back on the buses and sent home."
A local radio host suggested that the White House was behind the effort to set up the photo op.

So what? It is nothing more than the SEIU, ACORN, AFSCME, etc. ‘busing’s that Obama and crew have been doing for years. Kudos to BP for finally getting wise.
World Press Marvels as .....Mud Puddle finds Tar Ball.
The “boycotters” bused hundreds of “protesters” into Arizona this weekend. Now might be a good time to invest in bus companies. The ‘RATS are desperate and are wearing the tires off of those things! What is it with ‘RATS and buses anyway?
A three hour tour. A three hour tour.
this is what all Americans need to see...
Well, they know they make lousy submarines!
LOL!
LOL -- Yellow submarines at that!
i bet his allies in bp, maybe unions bussed in those 400 ppl in, for a photoop
I saw Fox filler video. A bunch of low paid workers, dressed in whatever with white coveralls, were caressing the beach every few feet with push-brooms were walking SLOWLY around the beach moving sand and occasionally picking up a wayward tarball. Idiocy. Note that they, and Obama, were on a relatively clean beach. They weren’t in some estuary surrounded by oil covered penguins and huge clods of glop. Maybe that will come later—it makes better ecological theater. I don’t know why they didn’t do it—maybe Obama found the serious damage to be too yuck to be around.
obozo can say he did his part by cleaning up the turdballs, oops I mean tarballs. What a fake putz!
want to bet those temporary workers are going to pad the unemployment roles for May and June.
Photo ops, mirrors and smokescreens.
Someone please tell the Kenyan child-tyrant that magic beans and hocus pocus will not solve this problem.
That WILL be impressive when they start showing oil-covered penguins in the Gulf...
