Though his agency was charged with coordinating the federal response to the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Department of the Interior chief of staff Tom Strickland was in the Grand Canyon with his wife last week participating in activities that included white-water rafting, ABC News has learned.
Strickland, who also serves as Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, was in the Grand Canyon with his wife Beth for a total of three days, including one day of rafting.
The Stricklands departed for the Grand Canyon three days after the leaks in the Deepwater Horizon pipeline were discovered.
And they had to pluck him out of there by helicopter.
Yeah! obama and his minions were on it from day one!
"Other leaders of the Interior Department were focused on the Gulf, joined by other agencies and literally thousands of other employees."
"Secretary Salazar deputized Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Hayes “to be the point person on this issue and from the morning after the explosion from the time he got to New Orleans he has been working on this non-stop with the help of other people in the Interior Department as well as other agencies involved.”
"The day before his travel, the US Fish and Wildlife Service began working with the Coast Guard to identify high-priority national wildlife refuges to be shielded with boom. More than one thousand overall personnel had been deployed to the region."
So the gripe is not about the Secretary of Interior, not about the Dept of Interior, but the Sectary of Interior's chief of staff. Ok, let's tar and feather the guy!!

I keep hearing this, who were the one thousand people? Are they counting sailors, cooks and mechanics on ships, lawyers, office workers, or what? Who were these people, and what were their functions?
