Obama is afraid to move them to Florida because there won’t be any in place in case there is an oil leak somewhere else. That reminds me of the following scene in the movie "The Sure Thing" with Gib (John Cusack) and Alison (Daphne Zuniga): Gib: [encounter a padlocked trailer while attempting to get out of the rain] It's locked! Good! This is very good! It's important that this place should have an air-tight security system... in the middle of nowhere! Alison: [digs through her bag] I might have a nail file... I have a credit card. I have a credit card! Gib: Credit cards work on a completely different kind of lock. Gib: No, you don't seem to understand. I have a credit card! Gib: You have a credit card? Alison: I have a credit card! Gib: [relieved] You have a credit card. Alison: [suddenly crestfallen] *Oh. My dad told me specifically* I can only use it in case of an emergency.** Gib: [sarcastically] Well, maybe one will come up. Hey Barack, I think an emergency has come up, you can use that credit card now.
