#1 27,000 abandoned wells, 1 huge gulf dead zone, 1 WTF blowout affecting lives and life in and around the gulf. Think its time to close 33 deep wells to figuring out that NO leaks or blowout will occur? OR is chasing money more important.

#2 Peronsally I have always had the view that the government should have treated like a forest fire. Take charge, jump on it (so to speak), get engineering firms on it (like LM) and get it capped. Obama never took took charge, or did any thing but blame others. They now at least have a technique to fix the problem.

The other thing that comes to mind, is 27K wells and nothing like this until Obama lets it happen (or causes it, but that's my paranoia). Nothing like allowing a disaster to continue in order to reinforce your economy killing philosophies and socail engineering agenda.

#4 Common sense. Direct speech. Courage and imagination.

What a pity this man isn't in the White House instead of Young Barry, the kind of idiot JFK was referring to when he said, "Success has a thousand fathers; failure is an orphan."

#5 Governor Jindal is young. A few terms as governor will add to the experience he will need to run for president. (Assuming he is crazy enough to want to run. The MSM will put him through the wringer like they did to Sarah Palin.)

#6 The solution to the MSM destroying conservative candidates is to ignore their requests for coverage - marginalize them, ridicule them - point out their bias.

Sound kinda familiar?
