Now The Little Government People Want Big Government
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, in government himself, wants a lot more from the feds.
Maybe he should call old Halliburton (the failed oil rig's construction contractor)/Unfettered Drilling Champ Dick Cheney.

Considering off-shore drilling of oil is completely under the control and jurisdiction of the Federal government, it would only make sense for the Governor of state in the path of the BP oil slick to call out the non-response by the Obama Administration.
Regardless of that Governor’s ethnicity, gender, and political affiliations.
Realizing taking a pass on making a political cheap shot at a conservative minority is a bridge to far for you James, am still disappointed none the less.
In your linked article, one just has to love the Obama-ites response:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano who visited the area with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and other federal officials, stressed that BP, which owns the leaking oil, is "the responsible party" under U.S. law and is "required to fund the cost of cleanup operations." She urged the company to "leverage additional assets" for the effort.
"We have anticipated and planned for a worst-case scenario from day one," Napolitano said. She said the administration is using all available resources to respond to the disaster.
First Napolitano says this is all BP’s responsibility and then neglects to say the referenced “all available resources” did not include the federally mandated fire booms which could have minimized this disaster.
