JINDAL ACTS; Obama waffles.

Louisiana's request to build sand barriers to protect marshes threatened by oil was still "under consideration" -- nearly two weeks after Gov. Bobby Jindal made the request.

Obama yesterday finally gave the go-ahead to build the sand barriers -- but only for half of the 86 miles requested.

That's hardly reassuring to the people of Louisiana -- who have already been forced to close three beaches.

“The 1990 Oil Pollution Act ... created new procedures for offshore cleanups, specifically putting the federal government in charge of such operations.” And 40 days later, our President finally “took charge.”

As I pointed out in an earlier post, the first priority should be to plug the d#*! hole; the second priority should be to clean up, and the last priority to apportion blame. Looks like the President got the order backwards.
