What is a Nungesser?
Sorry there are updates to the post now including audio links.
Bump
I work near a recruitment center and oftentimes have opportunity to talk with the recruiters. They basically are of that same mind set concerning Bo as commander in chief. Awaiting 2012 far more than the citizens for the sake of their fellow troops in battle. They hate how these wars are being fought.
They know they are being used. They know he is a Saudi agent.
Here is the wiki entry on his father. I knew him and served on the LA GOP Central Committee with him.

Interesting Louisiana facts:
Total number of barrels of oil produced by LA in 2009: 48,164,979. Not including this new and very significant find.
Royalties charged to oil companies: somewhere between 12.5 and 16.7 percent.
Current price of a barrel of oil: $77.63
Doing the math, based on the current price of oil total oil royalties are worth between $467 million and $624 million per year. Again, not including this new and very significant find.
State budget for Louisiana: $28.986 billion
Total amount of Federal income taxes paid by Louisiana: $33.676 billion.
The Port of New Orleans is the only deepwater port in the United States served by six class one railroads. By volume, it’s the 3rd busiest port in the world.
And Obama does nothing.
That's a guy that tries to figure out the name of a Catholic sister.
I never watch CNN and am only vaguely aware of Anderson Cooper. He had what should be every reporter’s dream - an explosive interview with someone publicly and effectively criticizing the President. He looked like he needed to go to the little boy’s room he was so uncomfortable. Does he carry Obama’s water like his network or what? I’ve never watched him.
Second time I’ve seen/heard Billy - thoroughly enjoy that guy. Says it like it is and damn the personal consequences.
I guess the governor did not accept Nungesser's offer of civil disobedience in defense of Louisiana coast. Mistake on Jindal's part
. He should have joined Nungesser on the dredge, and said, "Come and stop us," to BO and his administrative blockheads.
Now they wait while the Sand Berm Police hold conference calls.
Who is “Nungesser” and why are you watching Anderson Cooper?
It’s interesting to see people post threads without key information.
Wow—I’m impressed with this man’s passionate common sense as he deals with this Alice in Wonderland bureaucracy—a bureaucracy characterized by inertia except when it is actively wrecking something. If you like this, then you’ll LOVE health care. Same thing multiplied 100 times.
And then put them under BREAKING NEWS.
I’ve updated the post. I just wanted to get the news out in case anyone already had access to the video, which needs to go viral.
Nungesser is the President of the Parish at ground zero of this oil leak.
I was watching AC because Nungesser issued a threat to the President earlier in the day and I wanted to see if he would deliver — which he did.
"civil disobedience"?
"What we have h'yre, is failure to communicate!"
We have government disobedience!
I’m not sure what the best approach is.
Do you continue to dredge and risk going to jail in hopes to stop the oil? Or do you stay free and let the oil ruin your coast and then tie that to Obama not allowing you to finish the work?
I think the later is the wise choice. If the oil never comes then nothing lost. But if it does come all the dead wildlife is on Obama’s hands and that will make for compelling story. It’s clear if you watch the interview that since they can’t dredge any wildlife killed on the coast there is Obama’s fault for not allowing them to dredge. Play the viddeo of Nungesser saying this and the date. Then show the date of the oil coming in and killing the wildlife. Send it around the Internet...and it appears as if CNN is endorsing it because we can use CNN clips.
Unbelievable that Cooper let him talk as he did without interrupting him!
Who? What?

NUNGESSER: It could, just like the -- just like we have been hearing, could, would, should have, maybe. Those are not comments made when you go to war: It could.
You know what? It could rain cats and dogs tonight. Come on, guys. We're at war here. It could. We're going to replace the sand.
Let me tell you something, Anderson. I thought about this a little while ago when you talked about the general being replaced. And I don't agree with anybody speaking out that's in the armed forces against our leader and our chief.
But I think it's time for the president to take a step back. He has got a bigger problem. Just like the problems we have with the interior secretary, with Thad Allen, with everybody with the administration. The only way anything ever got done was the president coming down here himself.
Well, the people in the military have those inner thoughts about his administration, the same thoughts all of Louisiana has. He has got a bigger problem than a loose-lipped general. He better take a soul-search and look at the people surrounding him, because the job ain't getting done here and it obviously ain't getting done over there.
And we got a serious problem in this country, and the president of the United States better address it, because it's not just somebody like me or him or anybody sounding off at the mouth. It's what we truly feel, that we are getting the runaround.
The -- the -- we're not getting the truth half the time, and nobody has the sense of urgency to do anything, whether it be here or obviously overseas. And I'm sure whoever he replaced him with may not say that, but if that -- that hero is thinking that, I guarantee you it's widespread in the military.
(CROSSTALK)
NUNGESSER: So, the president needs to do a little soul- searching. I don't want to tell him how to do his job, but he needs to take a step back and say, I have got some problems up here in Washington, and I better address them, and quit letting bureaucrats stand in the way of defending this country and protecting our wetlands.
I'm fed up with it.

COOPER: To hear that — to hear, as we learned tonight, that, according to these new documents released by the Coast Guard, that BP was offered technology back on May 4 to measure the leak, and, on May 19, you have Lamar McKay testifying that they don’t know about any technology to measure the leak, what do you make about that?
NUNGESSER: I told you about two products that were brought to me by local scientists here in Louisiana.
Versabar had one and the guy that started Krispy Kringle Doughnuts. Both of them would have measured every drop. They wasn’t even considered. We have been saying that from day one. But you know what? Once again, we find out we were lied to, just like — just like the dispersants were going to keep it on the bottom.
Well, now it’s coming in underneath the surface. We haven’t even re-looked to see if we should quit spraying the stuff, and maybe have a fighting chance on top of the water. We just keep letting them spray.
This is the biggest debacle in the history — I am so unbelievably upset about this. We — we fought for months to get this dredge approved. Men and women are working around the clock.
Anderson, we put lights on our boats tonight to go out at night and pick up oil in the bays where you went out with us, because we’re tired of losing the battle. And we are getting absolutely shut down. And bureaucrats in Washington — this is unbelievable. This doesn’t seem like America.
COOPER: Billy Nungesser, I appreciate you talking with us tonight.
Billy, thanks very much.
NUNGESSER: Thank you, Anderson.
