Our country is probably too broke to pay for that huge oil skimmer but shouldn’t the money from BP go towards that FIRST!

Nah! That BP dough is more important in Obammy's slush fund. He'll need it for the next couple of elections,... if we have them.

Besides, there are probably nonunion workers on that skimmer and everyone knows it is against the law for them to work in the Gulf unless he waives the Jones Act - which he probably won't unless he's sure it is too late to save the Gulf.

My question is, why are the Republicans not screaming from the rafters about this outrage and everything else going on in the Gulf and demand he take action? Is Bobby Jindal the only one with a pulse? Even then, I haven't heard a peep from him for serveral days now!

The DUTCH offered to send their ship over to the GULF and skim up the oil FOR FREE.

It doesn't get much cheaper than that.

The US seems to have money for everything else and for everyone else around the globe...and yes, BP should pay for this first.
