Obama Oil Spill Press Conference: Government In Charge Of Oil Disaster Response

What is it you want?



Did I criticize Kathleen Blanco for her actions after Katrina?



No.



Have I criticized Bobby Jindal, over his words and actions before the BP blow-out (or even after the blow-out)?



YES.



Just not over what you and the other id-jit (Fastwriter) think merits criticism.



Whether you agree with the Republicans' 'Less Government is Good' belief or not (and I don't), Jindal's complaint isn't hypocritical, isn't about wanting 'More Government'. It's about the roles set out for the state and the feds in a disaster like this in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and the plans each are to make and put into action when/if the time comes according to the law.



The building of berms to protect the barrier island is the responsibility of the federal government, and the costs fall to the feds, too, because the feds supercede the state's authority (and take the money, too) when it comes to all of those activities on the outer continental shelf (and even those on the inner -- oil drilling, ports, etc.).
