I’m not defending Obama, as I agree on the know-nothing mooselimb puke part, but I worry about the unintended consequences of waving or repealing the Jones Act.
It would open up our ports to even further invasions from vessels built, owned and manned by muslims, illegal aliens and the rest of Americas enemies.


Good point. Doing away with the Jones Act is just something the Liberal Globalists will love...who see nothing wrong with dangerous foreign nations and nationals running our shipping.

Would not surprise me that Obama, McCain, and all the Liberal Globalists wanted to use this oil disaster as a way to repeal Jones, and sell out our shipping to foreign nations.

In fact, the Jones Act should have never been applied to the Gulf oil rig blowout...as the rig was in International waters.

The rig was in US water.
If it had been outside of US purview, the Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service would not have had anything to do with the accident.
