Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave

I still don't understand what Obama would do that would make the operation any better. The gov't would still need to rely on BP for their equipment and technical knowledge.

Thats right. I just said we could have brought in some more people who might be able to offer more ideas on how to stop the leak. The good news is I had to use the words "could have". Hell I bet Obama shows up tommorrow acting like he helped shut down the leak. Its nice he could even take the time to stop on his way to his vacation.

So the White House was just sitting by idly and didn't offer ANY ideas? They didn't send anyone to the gulf region? No input from the president --- at all? You sure you got your facts straight on this?

And you know this is Obama's second visit to the area since the incident happened, right? I dunno, should the White House just relocate to the gulf and set up a 24/7 operation?

You still haven't said, exactly, what you want the president to do?

He wants the president to come under the same type of liberal biased media bashing Bush came under for Katrina. He wants Kanye West to say Obama doesn't like the environment. Look, no Americans dying in waste deep water. My cousin sat in a rig for 4 days waiting to bring water to the N.O.
