Well, we've got a president who is capable of going down there to rebuild if he had to. Can you imagine former presidents, besides Carter, capable of that? It's the one thing I give Jimmy Carter credit for.
He may do good down there yet, he is good with a chainsaw cutting brush!!! (SAC off)
Actually this could be a good thing. Emergency Infrustructure rebuilding..ie build more refineries with very limited regulatory hassel...national security and all.
