This is the Person that KNOWS what's going on! He's more in charge than Obama!

Bobby Jindal has been at the front lines every day...He knows more about what is going on than anyone else and he has more vested interest in getting it stopped and fixed...If the media wants to talk about someone that cares.... it's Jindal, not Obama. It's a disgrace that he hasn't gotten everything he wanted, but he's a Republican afterall and this partisan White House/Administration/President wouldn't want anyone to think he might have an answer that would work....


NO NATIONAL PLAN
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on ABC’s “This Week:”
“…we needed just simply more resources. Back on May 2nd, May 3rd, when we saw there was no national or BP plan, we came up with our own plan…As I told the president, for us, it's trust but verify. You know, it's that old saying that we've heard promises, we want to see that happen on the ground… Now, we have said for weeks now we'd much rather fight this oil on a sandy barrier island than fight it inside our wetlands. We've got miles and miles of these islands… [and w]e proposed a plan, 24 segments, to rebuild or refortify these islands.

“After weeks -- and if they had approved this when we first asked, we could have built 10 miles. Ten miles… Yesterday, the Army Corps of Engineers approved six segments out of 24, over 40 miles out of 100. But here's where our concern was. The federal government only ordered BP to pay for to do one of those six segments. That's two miles out of 100. Our message to the president today was, make BP pay for this. The federal government shouldn't be making excuses for BP. This is their spill, their oil. They're the responsible party. Make them responsible.

“Look, I've been very clear. I think there could have been a greater sense of urgency [on the part of the deferral government.]”
