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!

Part of this is the media.... When Katrina hit, it was "All Katrina, all the time", with the BP oil spill - it's McChrystal, it's Bambi's golf game, it's algore, it's anything else.....

BP and TRANSOCEAN were working in the Gulf on this site since February. Since they are not American owned companies, how did they get away with violating the Jones Act? Are all their ships American owned?
