ELEVEN DAYS LATE Posted by John at 6:40 PM
Earlier today, Janet Napolitano appointed Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen to coordinate the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That's great, but the oil rig blew up eleven days ago, on April 20. In the meantime, the oil slick has tripled in size over the last two days and is approaching the Gulf coast. Now there is speculation that the oil could make its way all the way to the Atlantic. President Obama, reversing an earlier announcement, made hasty plans to visit the Gulf tomorrow.
The Obama administration's slow-footed response to the disaster threatens to become a major political problem, as the spill itself threatens to turn into one of the worst environmental disasters ever. You're doing a heck of a job, Napolitanie!
**Why the “F” was he at that dinner tonight “**
He is our FUHRER and he is ABOVE such Mundane things.. He’s more concerned about how QUICKLY he can shut down the REST of our Energy using this as an excuse..
April 20, just in time as a gift for the EARTH DAY COMMIES.
Zeros thought processes are like molasses in the winter.

The Animation will sicken most of you.
We’ll be paying more for sea food than for gasoline, even if Obama can raise it to $9 a gallon.
What the hell?!?!
Since when can the Scty. of Homeland Security give orders to the head of one of our military branches?
Isn’t the US military comprised of the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force? I thought the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who reports to the SecDef, was over the Coast Guard.
Maybe I’m wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time. lol
“...made hasty plans to visit the Gulf...”
Flyover?
The list, ping
Coast Guard is technically civilian and is part of Homeland Security.
Navy sometimes will have Coast Guard on board for when they need to do boarding, and for legal reasons it needs to be “civilians”.
Thanks for the reply, marron.
I can understand, somewhat, the tie-in with Homeland Security. The CG does patrol our coastlines to prevent illegals, drug/human smugglers, terriorists, etc., from entering illegally. They are doing what the Border Patrol could be doing IF the Feds would staff, arm and fund the BP.
Mark Steyn calls her “Incompetano.”
