Officials Back to Gulf as Frustration on Spill Spreads
Under increasing criticism for not moving more aggressively to halt the oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama sent three cabinet members to the area, examined possible new remedies and formed a special commission to investigate the disastrous leak and “make sure it never happens again.'Wow! Three Obama cabinet members. That'll give us another 150 IQ points working on the problem. With some Louisiana islands now fouled by layers of heavy crude, and species like the brown pelican increasingly endangered, anger has been mounting against both the government and BP, which is legally responsible for the cleanup. Lisa P. Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, was meeting with frustrated Louisiana residents on Sunday, while Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano were heading to the region on Monday. At first I was filled with despair at the thought of Napolitano coming here again. Haven't we suffered enough? But then I called my cousin, rig worker T-Jean Robichaux, who cheered me up. "Cher, I seen her on the TV. She just about the size of dat hole in the riser. Problem solved. The other two, I give 'em to Marie and she put 'em in the jambalaya. Laissez les bon temps rouler! Mr. Obama said he would hold both the government and BP accountable. With whom does the buck stop, O Enlightened One? Posted by: Matt 2010-05-23 |
