Palin's right imo. Bottom line, the government is responsible for the protecting the environment. It has granted itself that power (ie. EPA). It also has or could easily acquire the means. Now its f*cking up (as usual) because the elected leader either (a) has an agenda to let the well continue to spew or (b) has no leadership experience and its showing.

idiot Obama's political challenges were evident in Alabama Monday, where leaders and residents said their state has been deprived of vital resources for fighting the spill. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley has been vocal about his dismay with the federal effort to protect Perdido Pass, a waterway near the Florida border, and Perdido Bay, a scenic waterway central to the fishing and tourism industry in both Alabama and Northern Florida. More than half a dozen boats and barges, some equipped with cranes, criss-crossed the mouth of Perdido Pass on Monday afternoon as authorities tried to prevent more oil from entering. In mid-May, Mr. Riley and Coast Guard officials worked out a plan to keep oil out of the bay using thick ocean boom, said Todd Stacy, a spokesman for the governor. Alabama officials scoured the globe for the boom, finding it in Bahrain and flying it to a staging area near Perdido Pass. But before it could be deployed, the Coast Guard took it from Alabama and gave it to Louisiana, Alabama and Coast Guard officials said. At a June 4 meeting attended by idiot Obama, Mr. Riley confronted Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen about the boom, according to the governor's office and Guard officials. But by then it was too late to bring it back. About 850 vessels and 800 ground workers were deployed along Alabama's coast Monday as oil washed up along some 30 miles of state beaches for a third straight day. A public-health advisory recommending that people stay out of the water remained in effect.
