"The federal government is shutting down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico...Work is scheduled to halt at midnight Wednesday."

They want them to move it two miles further out.

Makes you think the Fed is either incompetent or has a vendetta against US states.

It's the latter and that is quite obvious. The administration is stalling at every corner with this spill, they are suing the state of Arizona and they are putting up to 10,000 people out of work in Lousiana. Do the math, connect the dots......

Obama is trying to bring our country down and there is nobody who can stop him.

Congress is going to submit a bill to waiver the Jones Act because the WH hasn't.
I wonder if the President will sign it.

Do you think making life miserable for Louisiana is in any way related to them having a Republican governor? Or, let me put it a different way --- If the governor was a Democrat how differently, if at all, would the White House have handled the entire oil spill crisis? Everybody assumes Obama dragged his feet in the beginning because he's incompetent but what if he dragged his feet because Jindal is a Republican (as is Haley Barber next door)?

Heaven forbid the Feds stop the State from destroying the first line of storm protection, and force them to do what they had agreed to do.

I am beginning to wonder if Obama and company want a major ecological nightmare disaster on the Gulf Coast so they can use it to push their Green agenda.

It makes me sick to think that could be the case. I have a hard time believing such could be true but the evidence just keeps piling up.

Other than political, are the berms the right move?
