“Where are the skimmers?”
Where is the leadership?
I’m starting to get the impression that the commie ‘RATS WANTED oil washing up on our beaches. It’s one of Emanuel’s “Never let a good crisis go to waste” things. The Obama regime needed something to shakedown “Big Oil”. Oil on the beaches would do it.
For the next 100 days, this guy should post a YouTube video of 20 idle skimmers in a different location, titled as follows:
Day 61: 20 skimmers in Savannah, GA that Barack Obama
refuses to use in the Gulf.
Day 62: 20 skimmers in Virginia Beach, VA that Barack Obama
refuses to use in the Gulf.
Day 63: 20 skimmers in Morehead City, NC that Barack Obama
refuses to use in the Gulf.
etc.
etc.
For variety, he can add a picture of foreign ships every 5th day with a similar title about a particular country whose help Obama has refused (I believe there’s 19 of these???).
This administration is a complete disgrace and any enviromentalist with any real conscience should be shouting bloody murder. I am no enviro nut by any stretch and I am disgusted by what I am seeing - or not seeing as the case may be.
So one of the comments:

“If you start the clean-up before the oil stops leaking, you’ll just have to spend the millions more to clean it up AGAIN! Why not just wait to get the oil leak stopped before pulling all resources from everywhere else?! It makes perfect sense- both logically and fiscally. If not, we’re going to pay TWICE to clean up the Gulf! And then you conservatives would complain about THAT too!”
I don’t think that’s the case. If you capture the oil as it comes up you can flush the seawater and reclaim the a good percentage of the oil. If you capture it far out it doesn’t end up on the shores. Isn’t that right?
Nagin had his lot full of school busses, Obama has his skimmers. Now all we need is a photo. Way to go, Senator LeMieux, good job and keep it up!
The President needs to get to the Gulf states and lead the cleanup effort.
If President Spuds MacKenzie can’t lead, he should work on his short game by chipping tar balls into waste containers
Obama is the most dangerously incompetent boob around.
I live in Gulf County, Florida in the panhandle. There is only ONE skimmer available for our county AND Franklin County. We have to protect this coastline, and the Apalachicola estuaries or our oyster, shrimping, scalloping and overall seafood industry will be destroyed along with the economies of two already poor counties.
