During his Oval Office pack of lies delivered on Tuesday evening Barack Obama claimed he was in charge and had everything under control in the Gulf of Mexico and that the clean up effort which gets worse everyday was progressing well and he had everything in place to successfully handle the situation. Of course we knew that as he was spewing this lie out of his political mouth, that Obama may be in charge but is not even close to having things under, "control," nor have the necessary means in place in order to handle the situation. We already know he has personally turned down assistance from 13 countries as well as leaving necessary equipment like booms etc. sitting idle in warehouses with the full knowledge of the Obama administration.
Now according to an article on the ABC news website, even steps that are taking place which affected states have implemented themselves are being disrupted by the federal government for asinine bureaucratic reasons.
In Louisiana, barges that were commissioned by Governor Bobby Jindal to suck up the oil and sludge which has already reached marsh lands and the Louisiana shore line were stopped and forced to cease operations for more than 24 hours so that the Coast Guard could inspect the vessels for life vests and fire extinguishers.
The berms that were finally approved by the corps of engineers to be built as a protection for Louisiana shore were also stopped because the Environmental Protection Agency claimed that the berms are HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT!
In Alabama, Governor Pat Riley succeeded in acquiring large booms that could prevent the oil from coming ashore on the Alabama Coast. The Coast Guard moved the booms to Louisiana where they now sit idle because NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM BACK TO ALABAMA!
This is what happens when the children are left in charge. The left has used the cliche' "elections have consequences," over and over whenever Obama has nominated a Supreme Court Justice or passed ridiculous legislation like health care and the budget breaking stimulus. Now we are truly seeing the real hard hitting consequences of an election where an incompetent ideologue and imbecile becomes President of the United States.
