An accident based on human error is man made. A Cat 5 hurricane on the other hand is an act of God.
As far as actions being put into place, from the press conference by Gov. Jindal day before yesterday, it appears that not much had been done based on the tone and level of frustration.
I also have Sen. Vitter on my facebook and he has posted several times a day on what is going on. Not much has been done by the feds until this started making headlines yesterday.
I checked on Sen. Mary “whore of the Senate” Landrieu’s page and not a thing has been posted since her “healthcare victory”.
Since this is in federal waters and is an ongoing “accident” it would be nice for once if they did their job and responded likewise before the major, possibly irreparable, damage is done. But nope, the “spill baby spill” trolls are out spouting the “Big Oil is evil” line so that the proles can be whipped up into “no more drilling” frenzy.
Wasn’t the CG called out immediately to help in the search effort?
