Gulf Coast only a part time job for new czar

President Barack Obama's point man charting a new future for the oil-poisoned Gulf Coast[COLOR=#366388 ! important][COLOR=#366388 ! important][COLOR=#366388 ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] will do the job part-time. Some environmentalists said the job demands someone's full attention. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who oversees 900,000 Navy and Marine personnel, is inheriting an amorphous second job as the Obama administration's leader of long-term environmental and economic planning. His task is no less than rebuilding a region still suffering after Hurricane Katrina and beset by decades of environmental problems.
Mabus won't resign from his Navy job. When President George W. Bush picked [COLOR=#366388 ! important][COLOR=#366388 ! important][COLOR=#366388 ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]Donald Powell to lead the recovery after Hurricane Katrina, Powell resigned as head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
"The president talked to the governor about this, and they both agreed that he had the ability to do both," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday after Mabus [COLOR=#366388 ! important][COLOR=#366388 ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR]met with Obama at the White House.

WTF? The job of cleaning up after the largest ecological disaster in US history, and restoring all the damage done to the Gulf over the history of the United States, only requires the attention that Mabus can spare from his full time job as Secretary of the Navy. Dont forget that we are fighting two wars, have to worry about North Korea torpedoing ships, and war might break out between Turkey and Israel. I think that alone keeps him pretty busy, but Obama and Jindall think he has time to also oversee the entire Gulf Coast operation.

Don't you feel so much better knowing that Obama is on top of this?
