On purpose and it’s not just opinion.
I was in the southern parrishes in Louisiana when the oil starting to get into the marsh. The local sherriffs were beyond livid. The state of Louisiana environmental folks were going postal. NONE of that made national news.
Jindal was put in a position of either standing down and let the oil continue to spoil the marshland, or violate federal laws. The ripple effect on the LA economy was immediate and very visable.
And obama played golf.
Yea this was purposeful.
They used the BP explosion to shut down all new drilling in the Gulf and to punish the State of Louisiana.
Had Jindal been an obama buddy, the story would have been a lot different.
obama punishes his political enemies and rewards his political friends.

Absolutely correct. No coincidence that all of the Gulf governors are Republicans.
Obama’s answer to the crippled economy: Let them collect unemployment checks and beg BP for handouts.
Correct. And Jindal should have gone ahead and violated the federal laws. Let the Feds try and explain why they are prosecuting a state for protecting its shores from the spill.
The fact Jindal did not stick his neck out for his state is why nobody is talking him up for a 2012 Presidential run. That and the miserable response he gave to the 2010 SOTU address.
