Yesterday a federal judge enjoined the government from enforcing the ban on offshore drilling. Now, the governemnt has announced that it will put out a new ban and it has also ordered the dredging of sand to create sand berms to stop. These berms are the sand walls that governor Jindal of Louisiana asked to build during the first week of the oil spill. The Obamacrats took a month and a half to get back to Jindal and then approved six of 24 requested berms. Now even these six are to be stopped while they are only partially built and while they do not serve their intended purpose. The feds want the state to start over two miles further out to sea. that means that the feds want to throw away millions of dollars of work already done and start again now that we are almost two and a half months from the start of the spill.
I have a question that I think must be on the tip of the tongues of the American people. Does the White House use writers to come up with this stuff? It is slapstick, but it is not funny. What better example of "Bureaucrats Run Wild" could one see. There is no one in charge. How could the feds approve the berms and three weeks later change their mind.
In my lifetime, the government has done some truly boneheaded things. this move, however, is either the worst, or right up there in the top three. Someone ought to be fired for this. Instead, Obama will focus on what General McChrystal said in Rolling Stone. After all, why would nayone expect Obama to be concerned with the "small" people in Louisiana?
