What bugs me is with unemployment as high as it is, every beach in Louisiana should be covered with workers cleaning up the oil. Every beach, inlet and accessible marsh area. Literally tens of thousands of people should have already been hired by BP to help clean up the mess. There is no excuse at this point! 41 days into a massive oil spill is ample time to hire thousands of clean up crews. Everyone with a boat sitting idle, everyone healthy enough to pick up a Kimwipe should be on the beaches cleaning up the mess. The faster it gets picked up, the less damage it will do to the ecosystem and local economy.

If the Coast Guard is being micromanaged by Obama and crew, I can see why we are losing ground in the Gulf.... So many questions are unanswered. Why weren't booms in place to use in the beginning? Why aren't giant shop-vac like-cleaners being used? Have we examined the coordination of duties and items needed, or is everything bottlenecked? The environmentalists are no doubt on all boards of the government and have been over the years....why when they are so concerned about every single little thing regarding potential oil spills, has NOTHING been done by our Government and these environmentalists...? Did Obama use the plan that the previous Adm had in place for disasters or did this group trash those plans, and hadn't gotten around to making their own when the leak hit.....1.5 years later.
