That's just not true. Jindal is Governor of one of the states most affected by the spill, his concern is protecting the coastline and the people of LA. We would never have heard a thing about this had the boats still been opeating. > The Coast Guard shut down the barges to make sure they were in > compliance.

Jindal would have been blamed and rightly so, obviously that was a risk, but look at the alternative. Other people/animals/environment are definitely being hurt by the oil. So you risk potential damage to mitigate definite damage- that's the sort of executive decision bold leaders make in times of crisis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321478 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
