Some snippets:
"David Camardelle, mayor of Grand Isle, La., said he meets daily with state and federal officials but that when he brings up a problem or offers a solution he's told "BP or EPA, or the Coast Guard is going to have to approve this before we can do anything."
(snip)
"There's also the Katrina-like gap between what federal officials say is happening and what local leaders say they are seeing. Since the beginning, Allen has insisted the government and BP deployed more resources than needed. That is consistently disputed by local and state officials who complain of poor coordination, shortages of boom and skimmers, agonizing delays in getting responses to requests and a general reluctance to try new or experimental cleanup strategies."
Yes, of course Obama and his useless Marxist mob will not take the heat for their incompetence and malfeasance. Zero is so far in over his head, let’s hope that even the dolts of the electorate get the message as to what they did to this country.
Then when he say how quiet the pres room got he quickly flip-flopped, "Well , maybe that's not such a good thing."
Thad didn't crawl to the top w/o the good'ol'boy club way up his pants!
For 50 days they have known that when they are able to start pumping oil to the surface in a controlled manner, they don’t have enough ships to store the oil.....!
I just heard on the news that it will be a month before another ship large enough to hold oil gets there!
Heck, Allen has been the ONLY administration official who has exuded any sense of leadership or competence during this mess.
Scapegoat is generally a one time, OJT, sort of assignment.
” Just as many of us expected....Allen is being set up to go under the bus for Obama and his adminstration’s dereliction of duty. “
Do we have a pool going as to exactly when Barry shoves Allen overboard ?
When Barry’s poll numbers dip into the 30s is probably a safe bet.
BP 1 and BP 2 ( Black President ) and the Coast Guard have clearly been overwhelmed from the beginning .
Only BP2 could care less.
Barry checked out physically and emotionally ,
he partied and relaxed for two months doing his best imitation of Alfred E Neuman while things spun completely out of control in the Gulf.
Somebody else is going to be his fall guy , most likely Admiral Allen.
In a perfect world, the Three Stooges-Barry, Napolitano and Salazar would resign in shame.
"Rewards and honors for the uninvolved" will be along shortly.
0bamao's Chernobyl
Exactly right. Compare this with President Bush's response to Katrina where the Coast Guard was first first responder. W took the heat and never once blamed anyone else and had nothing but praise for the Coast Guard who save many lives in the immediate aftermath. Obama is a weasel and a coward.
Authority can be deligated but not responsibility. The responsibility of the cleanup is Barry’s.
When asked about waivers for the Jones Act it seemed Allen had no clue that there was a possibility of suspending the law. It seemed to me he was unaware of the law or the fact that so many foreign countries had offered assistance in cleaning up the spill.
If he’s the best and brightest we have on this massive spill, we are indeed in trouble. Especially since neither O nor anyone in his cabal had any idea there was a Jones law.
The Coast Guard Academy has a football team?
After he emerges from under the bus, I hope he pulls a "MacArthur." If the republicans regain congress he should be called to address a joint session of congress and let it rip.
just the latest to have the blame tacked on him and tossed under the bus
i wondered how long it would take... after the info that the coast guard had delivered leak projections to the WH within 24 hours of the explosion (like it should have). by leaking the info, it became painfully obvious 0bama was deliberately doing nothing.
they are doing everything they can to put the blame on BP... even though the one responsible for overseeing such an event, by law, is 0bama
DO NOT LET THEM LAY THIS ON BP.
0bama is to blame for the EXTENT of the devastation... directly related to his lack of response (forget timely)
Have you all seen this?

No one told Thad Allen about the boom available through the Maine company!
This story has been allover Hot Air and Fox news.
I do agree that Thad Allen is being set up for the fall guy by the federal government. The coast guard should not be in charge of this operation...they can help, but they cannot be the ones in charge. Perhaps no one else has the courage to do what Thad Allen is doing.
Allen did an Alexander Haig by saying “I am the Government”!! OMG!!
Like any organization, when the CEO or Commander-In-Chief fails to lead, everything goes to hell. The Coast Guard does not act on its own and in the case, Allen has to be PC and try to follow confusing or bad instruction.
The AP sets ‘em up and the rest of the MSM will knock ‘em down. This is nothing but smoke-n-mirrors designed to sheild President Messiah.
