You know, it’s that old saying that we’ve heard promises, we want to see that happen on the ground,” Jindal said.

8 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico
To day is 80th day, since the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. Oil keeps gushing from the leaking well into the Gulf of Mexico. The amount of spilled oil now is around 336 000 000 gallons.
BP significantly reduces this rate motivated by the fact that the daily capturing 15-20 thousand barrels of oil.
I have repeatedly explained, no matter how much oil BP capturing from the Cap, because the pump creates inside the Cap additional negative pressure which immediately compensated by the pressure in the petroleum layer and accompanied by an additional release of oil, correlated with this negative pressure.
So, the amount of gushing oil unchanged or unaltered is about 90-120 thousand barrels per day.
There are many people like myself, who would like to give alternative methods to BP and the government but lack the contacts to meet the right people. BP lacks thinking “outside of the box” and continues to solve its problems to the “best” of their knowledge.
Using my know-how and liquid nitrogen oil freezing equipment we can shut the well during the nearest 3 weeks.

Prioritising the placement of boon may have resulted in some areas of shore being compromised. That’s expected, sadly. There’s not enough boon nor sand in the world that could have stopped this catastrophe. Or make a difference to the areas affected. And they knew it. Now the slick is heading towards Florida, like predicted a month ago. And possibly up the East coast. Jindal is politicizing this cosmic event. There isn’t enough boon and never would have been. But instead of being honest with the people of LA, he catered to the frenzy and is now using it for his own political gain. And the fact that when Jindal was posed the question asking him if he was satisfied with the President’s previous trip and response, he refused to answer the question. Because he knows the truth of the matter. He’s pandering to his constituents. And trying to build a case for the GOP. It’s so transparent it’s nauseating. And where was your preparedness Jindal?

BP testing President Obama’s patience
Constantine Balakiryan, PhD, Professor
The 43rd day is growing huge oil slick on the surface of the Mexican Gulf, with the dimensions exceeding the territory of many countries and many States.
How long this can be continued?
Does BP have sufficient technological resources to close the damned holes?
They certainly do.
Then, what is the real reason they aren’t resolving the problem, for example, using my know-how and equipment for freezing the oil with liquid nitrogen?
The point is that blocking well BP will lose the”frosting on the cake”.
That’s why BP proposed a new project “B,” which assumes not only drilling new wells, but also construction a new platform.
For this escapade BP requests another 60-90 days.
It is easy to imagine what kind ecological disaster awaits US, if plan «B” is approved.
Very important to consider that the hurricane season is started, so the first hurricane sends in hell, all these shielding floats and oil will gush out to the territory not only the coastal states of the Mexican Gulf.
It is time to act.
Tomorrow will be too late.

Salon & JayG – How insightful of you to critize Jindal for a GENERIC Contingency Plan for LA, especially since we all know he’d know EXACTLY what type of emergency he’d be handling. Perhaps we should give him credit for evaluating what he already had & taking appropriate steps to encompass nad make known the emergency that started back on 4/20. And we’re ALL aware of how well governors from RED states fare w/Oblahblah. Did you notice Crist standing next to Obamma at the spill site — and see how fast he used his $25Million for advertising the pristine beaches of his state. If you were Jindal, would YOU have used the $15Million he’d been given to “advertise” that beach? Take your glasses off please. Obamma doesn’t “visit” states that voted RED when he was elected. Only the BLUE ones.

Tapper is a total embarrassment. Listening to his interview of Gov. Jindal one would have to wonder if the questions he asked were being provided in real time via an ear piece connected to the White House. Is there no end to Tapper’s blatant liberal bias?

See. Now the GOP needs “BIG” government. When you people learn that the GOP are playing you for suckers. And by the way, our fore fathers created the “BIG” government. Perhaps you are mad at them. Anti-Americans.

Thanks to JayG for that news from the Times Picayune, which if I understand correctly, has been generally supportive of Governor Jindal for quite some time.
Here are a few things to consider:
New Orleans is a major US port. It is a significant concern with regard to homeland security. Jindal, therefore, having been governor for years now, can only be expected to have spent much time on disaster planning. That’s with regard to terrorism, you say?
Yes, but everyone knows that drilling presents significant risks. I am not saying there should be no drilling. But there are risks. Wasn’t this a major point of discussion in the last presidential election? How many hundreds of oil rigs sit off the coast of Louisiana? Didn’t Jindal spend time in the House of Representatives to get Louisiana its fair share of oil revenue?
Jindal cannot be considered unaware of the risks posed by drilling in waters near Louisiana’s precious wetlands. He will therefore have spent a lot of time considering an oil spill in his disaster planning, right? But isn’t this Obama’s disaster, since the rig was in US waters but not Louisiana’s?
Yes, legally. Obama is responsible (though maybe through proxies) for ensuring that BP be responsible. But if the response from the Obama administration has been weak, and most people would agree to that, then doesn’t this mean that Obama was unprepared? And if Obama was unprepared, shouldn’t Jindal have stepped in to ensure that he protected the interests of the people of Louisiana?
Yes, Obama was unprepared. Obviously. So was Jindal. Obviously.

Talk about your hypercritical hypocritical
Jindal has relief he has not distributed according to a report by the Lousiana Times-Picayune
Democratic legislators criticize Gov. Jindal’s handling of Gulf oil spill relief money

“Three Democratic state senators blasted Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal on Saturday for not quickly distributing $40 million in grants from BP at the same time he’s been criticizing the company and the Obama administration for taking too long to provide needed resources to combat the Gulf oil spill.
Jindal has “been out there talking to the people impacted by the disaster and the media and got his life jacket on and is out in the water, but I want him to use his executive power to get resources out there instead of standing on the bully pulpit and pointing fingers,” said state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans.
Peterson said that at a meeting Thursday with BP officials, coastal Louisiana legislators and representatives of the Jindal administration, it was disclosed that the state has spent only about $3 million of a $25 million BP grant for spill-related expenses, and that it has not yet issued a contract for BP’s $15 million grant to promote tourism attractions threatened by the spill.”
