BP Oil Spill: Gov. Jindal Asks for Permission to Build Barrier Islands
As thick oil flows into the sensitive marshes of the Louisiana coast, Gov. Bobby Jindal called on the White House and BP today to either stop the oil spill or get out of his way.
Gov. Bobby Jindal warns BP and the White House to help or get out of his way.Jindal is still waiting for the federal government to provide millions of feet in boom and to approve an emergency permit for a state plan to dredge and build new barrier islands to keep the oil from reaching the marshes and wetlands.
Jindal is so desperate for the islands, he's said he'll build them even if it sends him to jail.
rather than say he is willing to go to jail for going ahead and doing what he thinks is needed maybe he should go ahead and actually do what he thinks is needed
there is no time to request permission; if he ****s up then he will need to ask forgiveness for trying to do the right thing. some governor. thinks he needs to ask somebody if it's OK to do what needs to be done to help his people
Funny, I don't remember you saying this about naggins and blanco... Perhaps you have a link. :ssst:
where were naggins and blanco going to send the residents of new orleans to get them out of harm's way?
who was going to drive them there?
Day 36, and Mr. President has not responded. I guess he's too busy planning on skipping the memorial day service at arlington to vacay in chi-town..... :ssst:
Seriously though. If this is not the ghosts of Katrina, you all have lost your mind. Jindal is at his wits end waiting for federal permission to build barrier islands that he's willing to risk jail time...
Why is Obama not responding to this?
where were the drivers?
more importantly, where was the destination for them to stay?
Are people under the impression that everything done by the government anywhere is personally decided by the president?
The likely scenario is someone in the appropriate department (god I don't even know which that would be) looked at the idea and said "What? No, that's a stupid idea and you're a stupid person" and threw it in the trash.
Most were smarter than the politicians paid to answer such questions. They left before the evacuation was made mandatory. Had the politicians not sat on their thumbs for so long...where were the drivers?

:lol: It wasn't my responsibility to maintain this contigency plan that called for naggins to make sure drivers would be available.
Again. funny how hypocritical some are.
IF that is your position then what the hell was ANYONES beef regarding Bush's response in NOLA? What was he supposed to do...piggy back them out and put him in a tent on the ol ranch?
One MIGHT think that the NOLA and La officials might have used that 12 million dollars in federal disaster preparedness money to actually develop a PLAN. After all...you will remember the mayor and his staff seemed to be able to bug out just fine.
And I seem to recall a yard full of something like 6-700 school buses...

so, you finally realize that having a bunch of buses wasn't the solution
gotta have a destination to take those who are seeking to leave
gotta have the means to do so
and you question why nagins didn't have such means
in contrast, we have jindal who has a plan, but he awaits permission to do what he thinks needs to be done
that is not leadership
that is being a toady republican

How about Destination: GTFO?gotta have a destination to take those who are seeking to leave
gotta have the means to do so
you also might think that the corps of engineers, responsible for establishing and maintaining the levee system, would actually build and maintain one that was designed to do the job
YouTube- when the levee breaks/led zeppelin
Yeah...THATS the stuff your city is supposed to have coordinated. thats why the city officials and disaster prep guys get paid...
So basically instead of just saying go hang out at the superdome...and good luck y'all...Ima be chillin in Houston...maybe Chocolate Mayor Nagin should have heeded the evac orders two days earlier and started the caravans to higher ground.
Look at what you are writing...
"Golly...what could Nagin and Blanco POSSIBLY have done to protect their people?" and then in virtually the same breath...Governor Jindahl should be building Islands dammit!
which...BTW...I agree with...Jindahl SHOULD be building the islands...(and tell the fed to kiss his and his states ass). I just also happen to blame Nagin and Blanco for the NOLA mess.
He is waiting for what should be a swift reply from Obi.
Problem is, Obi's crew is a bunch of lawyers most likely trying to find out how they can bring Jindal down.
Jindal said he'd act and go to jail. That ain't toady.
It's poetry.
It tells the world what Americans have come to learn in the past months and what many R's knew from the start... that Obi is incompetent.
In way over his head.
Our enemies must be watching this and howling with laughter at President Urkel... our Boy Wonder.
.
You really need to pay attention.
There was a plan, there were buses. Naggins failed on all levels.
You partisan hack, like others, base your feigned outrage on party, not reality.
How about Destination: GTFO?
I mean seriously, these aren't very difficult questions. Coordinating transportation isn't rocket science.
