Just saw on the news that multiple foreign nations have ships, people and equipment poised to help clean up the oil mess.
Because of a 70+ year old law, called the Jones Act, only American (unionized)vesssels are permitted to operate in coastal waters without special Presidential permission. Which our President has been "thinking about" for over a month.
Parenthetically, after Katrina, President Bush waved this ridiculous law immediately so foreign help could arrive.
When BHO asserted that his administration has been ON TOP of this situation since Day 1, he was being literal, not just figurative.
