HERE'S ONE CRITICISM OF PRES. OBAMA

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Coast Guard site to find a summary of what the Feds are doing about the Gulf oil spill and there was nothing there. This is important in itself and because the wingnuts have been saying that the Administration isn't doing much about the spill. Today I found some useful information on NPR:

To try to manage this Big Mess, the federal government has: called into service more than 17,000 National Guard troops, plus more than 25,000 other personnel, to battle the nonstop oil flow; deployed more than 5,400 vessels and vehicles, including tugboats and barges and aircraft and robotic devices, to try to contain and sop up the oil; laid out more than 5.5 million feet of boom to try to control the spreading slicks; dispensed some 1.26 million gallons of oil dispersant; set nearly 200 "controlled burn" fires.
