Protectionism and the Oil Spill

Another glaring sign of the dumbing of America! The PEOPLE (Yes, the people!!!!!), want all the skimmer ships they can get as crude spews at a mind bending rate, and the "people in charge" send letters between each other. WOW!!!!!!! My Son sends a text to a Friend, and his Friend can act in seconds. These idiots are sending letters...
 
hate to cede control...although I'm not even sure what control there is (aside from losing on any spillage collected)

BP Oil Spill: Against Gov. Jindal's Wishes, Crude-Sucking Barges Stopped by Coast Guard

What the heck .... I also heard a report of a ship out in the water ready to lay out containment boom, and the coast guard pulls up and says they have to measure it. The whole thing is transferred to the coast guard ship, wasting two days.

Amazing. Chernobyl-like incompetence going on here...

They have interviewed the CEO recently here and he said:

I can't believe we haven't been called in earlier, US equiptment is outdated and we could have been of significant help.

Nevertheless, negotiations have been ongoing between them and the White house this week with an outcome soon expected so I guess they have come around as well.
