Bobby Jindal Rediscovers Federal Government With Oil Spill, Asks For Help

[dilloduck]

Blanco and Nagin were criticized for their lack of preparedness and slow decision making. They were in no way criticized for asking for federal assistance.

Gov. Bobby Jindal asked federal authorities tonight to grant funding for Louisiana National Guard members joining the multi-agency response to the offshore oil spill.

In letters sent late today to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Jindal requested support for up to 6,000 soldiers and airmen for at least 90 days under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, which would allow the Guardsmen to receive military retirement points, health insurance and disability protection.

Piyush Jindal is OBVIOUSLY a Socialist!

Don't be a douche. Republicans are not anarchists, as you well know.

The federal government is supposed to address national emergencies. If they're not doing that anymore... what the fuck are we paying them for?

To say nothing of the fact that LA officials were never criticized for asking for federal assistance in the early hours of the hurricane.

I guess the wingnuts will now deny that during Katrina, there were many on the right who claimed that a natural disaster like that was none of the federal government's business. That it was a state problem.

i highly doubt you said the same about bush though, i have no doubt you blamed bush instead of going around telling people to knock off all the bullshit about who is responsible and agree that all americans should pull together....if i am wrong, i will be surprised

the problem is that bush said 'brownie, you're doing a hell of a job" when he wasn't doing a hell of a job and to finally get him to pay attention to what was going on in NOLA, bush's aides actually had to make him a dvd of the newscasts on katrina.

stop it. bush deserved every criticism he's gotten.
this administration paid immediate attention to the problem and is engaged in the matter.
you don't get to criticize this president for something just because the last guy got a particular criticism and you want to go tit for tat.

Obama Blew the Haiti Response.

You probably remember all the accusation of gangs roaming the Superdome, mass rapes and the blacks burning the city down. I do.

Was this after the Superbowl?

I do love seeing Cons having to ask the Federal government for assistance.
Especially Jindal who passed out bailout checks from the Federal government after he had put his own name on them.

After that display it's little wonder the Democrats are so afraid of small government. They would be the first ones killed in the event of a national catastrophy.

Excuse Me, but BP is a British Oil company & Britain is a Socialist Country under Socialist Labor Party Control. This has ZERO to do with Republicans.

BP is an International Company BASED in the UK.

I don't see this happening again soon:

If someone said to you, come up with a funny political parody skit about an oil spill,

would you have gone with the rightwingers blame it on the federal government, or would

you have considered that too stupidly absurd, even for a parody?

It's almost as absurd as blaming that Mining disaster on Unions.
