The wall of red tape put in place by the Obama team to stop progress in cleaning up the oil spill is beginning to splinter. First Governor Jindal or Louisiana decided to go ahead with state plans for a clean up without prior federal approval. Now the commissioners of Okaloosa County in Florida have voted unanimously to give their emergency management team the power to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill from entering Choctawhatchee Bay. The commissioners state that they realize they are possibly going to be criminally liable for keeping the waters clean, but they refuse to let federal red tape stop the necessary actions. It is the bureaucratic equivalent of the shot heard round the world. Obama and his big government goons will soon be swallowed up by a wave of anger coming from local officials who are desperately trying to salvage as much of the local ecosystems as possible.
It will be interesting to see how Obama spins this one as Bush's fault. My guess is that the hold up in approving the local plans for clean up until after the oil hits the fragile areas (and even longer) will be discovered to be the result of something that Bush did in failing to keep the bureaucrats in top form.
We are getting to the point where patience is gone and anger is mounting. Obama has to do something or else get out of the way and let the adults take over.
Obama has got to go!
