Sarah Palin took on Big Oil – what has Obama done? (Highly respected former Alaska Governor) Sarah Palin accused US President Barack Obama on Sunday of leading a lax response to the Gulf of Mexico spill because he is too close to the big oil companies…
…More than 3.5 million dollars has been given to candidates by BP over the last 20 years, with the largest single donation, 77,051 dollars, going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
When Big Oil was trying to run roughshod over the people of Alaska, Sarah Palin brought them to heel. Obama dithered for weeks and now talks tough and sets up a commission…meanwhile, Bobby Jindal is fighting desperately to save his State’s coast line and getting precious little help from Obama:
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said the state will not waiting for federal approval to begin building sand barriers to protect the coastline from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Oil has pushed at least 12 miles into Louisiana’s marshes, with two major pelican rookeries awash in crude.
Gov. Jindal was critical of the amount of boom his state received to ward off the oil seeping toward the coastline. But his major gripe comes at the expense of the Army Corps of Engineers, who have yet to give the go-ahead for the building of sand booms to protect the Louisiana wetlands….
Perhaps this is because Louisiana is a “red” State? After all, its not like Obama has been Johnny-on-the-spot with the floods in Nashville – another “red” area of the country. So, its either that Obama just doesn’t care about people who don’t vote for him, or he miserably incompetent. Or a combination of the two.
