Obama Calls Oil Spill An 'Environmental 9/11. . . .WTF?

Why Didn't Chairman Zero and BP Accept Assistance from Royal Dutch Shell to Clean Up the Oil Spill?

According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:

Soon after the explosion crippled the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, commencing the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Royal Dutch Shell Corporation offered BP and the Obama Regime the use of some fifty supertankers — that were standing by, ready to go — to skim up the oil and limit the damage from the spill. BP and the Obama Regime refused.

Why would they refuse to use a proven method of oil spill containment in the opening days of the disaster? The main theory is an archaic, 1920s ERA protectionist law called the Jones Act — which exists primarily to shelter unionized workers from foreign competition — prevented Chairman Zero's regime from accepting aid from a foreign company in cleaning up the spill. That is, he would rather see the beaches of states that didn't vote for him befouled with oil than upset his union puppet-masters.

There's also the theory that Obama is just monumentally incompetent. But I have yet another theory why Chairman Zero would have refused help from the Dutch. Unfortunately, it is NSFW.

Obama Calls Oil Spill An 'Environmental 9/11. . . .

"In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11, I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come. One of the biggest leadership challenges for me going forward is going to be to make sure that we draw the right lessons from this disaster. Move forward in a bold way in a direction that finally gives us the kind of future-oriented... visionary energy policy that we so vitally need and has been absent for so long." ~ President Obama

Sounds like Obama believes just like Rahm Emanuel the current White House Chief of Staff that lived rent free in  an apartment of a BP Advisor for five years. . . .

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." ~ Rahm Emanuel

WTF? Another Patriot type act for an oil spill? Oh hell yea. . . .This is code for the "American Powers Act" formerly known as Cap and Trade.

President Bush dismissed the "Jones Act" for a couple of weeks during Hurricane Katrina, so why wouldn't Obama? Let me tell you. . . .He would have hell to pay with the unions. . . .

There are thousands of miles of "boom" in warehouses right here in the US. This boom could be used to stop the spread of the oil, but it is just gathering dust while the oil spreads to Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. Why would the Obama administration not give Governor Jindal of Louisiana permission to build all the sand berms he requested to keep the oil from destroying the the marshes?

Obama doesn't want this crisis to go to waste and he will do everything in his power to pass the "American Power Act" which will be the biggest and costliest scam in the history of the world. Get ready to watch oil prices and your utilities skyrocket.
