Will the Gulf Oil Slick be Obama's Katrina?



As the oil in the Gulf travels closer to our beloved offshore islands more than a week after a rig suffered a catastrophic explosion, one wonders if this will become an albatross for the Obama administration like democrats managed to make Katrina look like for George Bush? Read more here.

Actually it could and should be much worse. FEMA did respond after Katrina but devestated infrastructure and unexpected levee breaks in New Orleans blunted the effectiveness of the respons.

In this case, the Feds have basically sat on their hands when they could have easily been pouring people and supplies into the area. The response so far? Send in swat teams and Big Sis from Homeland.

Pretty feeble. But consistent: they don't protect our borders and they don't do anything about our shoreline either.
