The Gulf: An "Avertible Catastrophe"

Read this:

The Dutch fall into the first group. Three days after the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began on April 20, the Netherlands offered the U.S. government ships equipped to handle a major spill, one much larger than the BP spill that then appeared to be underway. “Our system can handle 400 cubic metres per hour,” Weird Koops, the chairman of Spill Response Group Holland, told Radio Netherlands Worldwide, giving each Dutch ship more cleanup capacity than all the ships that the U.S. was then employing in the Gulf to combat the spill.
Hell, read the whole thing.  If this is even half true President Obama is beneath contempt.  I cannot imagine the arrogance that this man has locked up in his little cranium.  To sacrifice an entire region of the country, an entire ecosystem to his union driven, power mad ego is so stunning that I really don't have words that measure up to the level of contempt that I feel.

Is willful politicking against the public weal an impeachable offense?  If not it should be.

As was said of the British Army in WWI:  America:  Heroes led by donkeys.

And the rest of the civilized world looks at us and says:  "What Cretins"  Changing our image abroad, indeed.
