Yeah, where are the Army Corp. of Engineers when you need them? Why is the Obama Administration moving so slow? Power Point, phone calls, and back door meetings are just not going to fix this. Maybe it is time to stop campaigning and play Executive. Another crisis made bigger by political indecision. I'm shocked! Where is Anderson Cooper? Why is Obama out there campaigning when he should be out there cleaning the beaches? Get him a shovel! Why hasn't the source of the spill been stopped? Where are the Authorities? We are entitled. We should pass a law.
Please show me exactly in the Constitution where it states that the Federal Government will help a private business out of a jam like this oil spill?
I don't think it is the Federal Government's responsibility to help the oil companies out of a jam. Nor do I think it is in the constitution that they should be protecting the beaches or the environment, seems to me that that responsibility falls on the states, but Obama and Congress seem to think it is there responsibility and Congress has usurped state authority for so long that they have weakened the states and since no one else is going to do it, I suspect they have to do it.
Immie
The Federal Government has The Navy, The Coast Guard, The army Corp. of Engineers, among other resources. It should be working in conjunction with the States and the Oil Industry to resolve this disaster. God knows they tax this resource to the extreme. Emergency response is either part of the plan or there is a dereliction. Where does thee buck stop Mr. President?
