Good grief! We have Ray Nagin in the White House!
The Radio Patriot ^ | June 18, 2010 | Andrea Shea King

I really need to move on to other tasks this morning, but right now I can't pull myself away from the atrocity that's happening in the Gulf Coast and the criminal activity inside the Oval and Congress regarding this oil spill catastrophe.

In the words of a commenter at HotAir's post "Coast Guard shuts down oil-skimming barges due to … lack of life vests onboard":

Good grief! We have Ray Nagin sitting in the White House.

The newest appointment of a “czar” solves nothing. It is just one more layer of bureaucracy that the other alphabet soups have to clear.

Amendment X is looking better and better all of the time. The federal government is just a lumbering beast unable to address a problem expediently.

The citizens and their local leaders have more common sense than does Captain Kick*ass. Their communities and livelihoods are at stake and they have the self-reliance to do something about this growing disaster.

A quick perusal of comments shows the exasperation and anger that's building over the handling of this eco-catastrophe:
How much damage will this America hater be allowed to do until someone upholds their oath of office and removes him?
Sarah Palin twittered on May 31st:
Gov.Jindal:to avoid ravished coast, build the berms.Ask forgiveness later;Feds are slow to act,local leadership&action can do more for coast
And this...
- Shutting down barges for life vest inspections - failing to waive Jones act to allow foreign vessels - forcing workers to wear tyvex suits - not allowing 99.5% cleaned water to be release back into the Gulf…

Sounds like when a Union enacts an effective work stoppage via enforcing full compliance of contract work rules…

Who says all these union hacks in the administration don’t know what they are doing…

And yet we have the likes of Nostrilaitis drilling BP's Tony Hayward NOW, instead of insisting that all the resources available be brought to bear on protecting our Gulf Coast and the lives of those who depend on it. Why? Why aren't they? Look no further than George Soros, Petrobras, and Barack Obama. The thugs running the country.

It's time people. It is time.

I just thought of a new tagline.

"After initially declining, U.S. Government officials have decided to accept an offer from the Dutch government to send four large oil skimmers to the site of the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico... One ton of oil is equal to approximately 7.3 barrels, so 5,000 tons a day is about 36,500 barrels per day. Collectively, the four skimmers can take up to 146,000 barrels per day." - article

If the skimmers were used early, even at the current leak estimate of 60,000 barrels/day, no oil would have reached the shore, and it would be totally unnecessary to use dispersants.

Very true and very scary on so many levels. The worst part is that Nagin was re-elected after his display of total incompetence during Katrina.

As strange as it sounds, that is an insult to Ray Nagin.

Use the buses, Barrack.

Just use the stuff available and clean up the oil and stop the well.

Is it legally possible for the next Republican president to haul Zero into Court over this?

Isn’t this amount of negligence considered criminal?

At least Ray Nagin had some administrative experience!

You’re right about Soros....Beck explained the other day about how Soros stands to gain, via Brazil, when the rigs (and jobs) move there after being shut down here.

Apparently Soros also owns Nalco which makes the Corexit dispersant that is being used. The Dutch skimmers would have made using dispersants unnecessary because they can take up to 146,000 barrels of oil per day.

Excellent tagline.

BO’s approach to everything:

Throw other peoples’ money at it - keep yelling that you feel their pain and blame someone else for your own incompetence.

That’s not entirely fair to Ray Nagin. My impression was that Ray wasn’t bad for a New Orleans mayor, Katrina just put him figuratively if not literally in over his head. Barry’s in over his head even on the day-to-day stuff.
