"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

NY TIMES BREAKING NEWS: Oil Well Gushes Unchecked After Accident Forces BP to Remove Cap

What next is going to happen to pour even more oil into the Gulf after this is fixed? We have no confidence that BP can actually contain the oil leaking into the Gulf at this stage. With Obama not wanting to relocate any oil skimmers to the Gulf and today the Federal Government stopped dredging that Louisiana has been doing to protect their coasts giving different reasons to different people.

Putting up federal roadblocks against Louisiana taking matters into their owns hands after the Federal response was so lame, makes us wonder if Obama is happy with oil spilling into the Gulf in order to try and pass cap and trade and no offshore drilling. Any reasonable person would come up with the same conclusion. If not on purpose, this is the most inept and irresponsible Administration in modern history.

Obama has failed the Gulf states in the handling of this crises and now Governor Jindal of Louisiana is showing Obama up every step of the way. So what does Obama do? He puts more roadblocks in Jindal way to protect the Louisiana coast.

One thing is definite we have found a leader in all of this -- Governor Bobby Jindal.

Mr. Allen said that the cap had been removed and crews were checking to see if crystals have formed before putting itback on.
