WASHINGTON U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill and a bipartisan group of her Senate colleagues, including fellow Missouri Senator Roy Blunt, are calling on President Obama to direct the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to take action ensuring that commercial navigation of the Mississippi River remains possible.
The President needs to take a look at whats happening in the Midwest and act, McCaskill said. The clock is ticking while jobs and businesses in the region are endangered, and its imperative that we protect them.
The Army Corps of Engineers recently reduced the flow of water from the Missouri River into the Mississippi River at Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota from 17,000 cubic feet per second to 12,000 cubic feet per second, which by mid-December could jeopardize river shipping lanesadversely affecting the regions economy.
He doesn’t care. He never cared. And he isn’t about to start caring now. He’s going on vacay and ain’t nuthin’ like the Mighty Mississip gonna stop him...especially when most of the states along the river are red states.
Anyone remember the massive fires in Texas?

Obama: "BILLIONS.. TRILLIONS.. Whatever it takes until I COLLAPSE the free-market, Capitalist scum, eeeewwwww Haaa Haaaa Haaa HaaaHaaaa"
Yes and I think there were Arizona fires near that time as well. But.. Hussein DID send help to Mexico for their fires.
LOL! The thought of Obama as Dr. Evil occured to me too!! Esp. when he talks about EVEN MORE stimulus spending. I just hear Dr. Evil saying “I WANT 100 Billion Dollars”
Not to mention guns for their drug lords...while his feds were busy shutting down legal pot dispensaries so the prices wouldn’t drop for his buds in Meh-hiko.
Yeah. Dr Evil Hussein says “I WANT 100 Billion .... No make that 100 TRILLION Dollars
