You keep saying BP and the administration are doing all they can.

I just watched the ex president of Shell oil say they have huge oil tankers that can scoop up millions of gallons of oil at a time and they were used to clean up the huge spill in Saudi Arabia after the Iraq war.

He says he does not know why BP is not using them as they could get most of the oil that was coming up?

And that is exactly the point Stockman Scott and I have been pressing for days.

As David Gergan said, Obama needed to take control and appoint a central command czar to take this in hand.

Had I been the czar down there, I am sure I would have found out about those tankers and they would be in place there right now.

Of course, I am sure you know much more than the ex president of shell oil.

There is no excuse for this behavior!
