Uh-huh, this response was predictable.

The oil is ON THE SURFACE AND Below and I'm sure more in the deeper water making it's way to the surface.

Get your FACTS straight.

Haven't you seen the miles-long oil slick in the gulf?

Geez.

"complete the cleanup," what do you mean? work on sand berms? Keep tidying down the beach?

Millions of Louisianans and more are anxious to do whatever they can to help clean up.

The photo op thing is not related.

Try getting your facts straight.

You still FAIL to describe exactly how transports would be re-equipped for recovery, THAT would be a little too fact based for your agenda, eh? Or did you just think they'd trot on down to Sears and buy a few ShopVacs

Same with the cries for more booms, from initial reports there just weren't enough available to contain a spill of this magnitude, have anything factual to contradict that?

Hilarious!

I just gave you two examples of what they are NOT doing.

Oh my, the deflection and spin is astounding.

But you don't have to believe me, just listen to the media and those honest lefties.

They don't need to be re-equipped. This is exactly what these tankers are made for - suck it up.

Hogwash. What initial reports?

WOW! Isn't it interesting, the NeoConfused, who traditionally pooh-pooh the green movement, are all of a sudden citing green web sites as gospel as well as AOL news which freely admits it could not verify a story?

I ain't buyin'

You really ought to change the title of this travesty to
"Obama Creates Jobs Wherever He Goes".

Why are you so upset that hundreds of people had jobs, at least temporarily? Would you rather support them to do nothing?

Well, it's cheaper than an aircraft carrier.

And if you want to use the backdrop, oil soaked beaches in the Gulf coast are still a helluva lot cheaper than the blood soaked sands of Iraq and Afghanistan. Have you been protesting those lately?
