Gulf Oil Spill Timeline:

Gateway Pundit has an outstanding time line of the Gulf Oil Spill which is entering its 3rd Month now.  Amazing the incompetence of the government.  Remember, after Hurricane Katrine 100,00 first responders where on duty 3 days after the hurricane had passed.  President Bush waived the Jones Act 3 days after Hurricane Katrina - to date President Obama still has not waived the Jones Act which will allow foreign ships to help out in the gulf.  Anyway, here is the time line:
Remember: The Gulf Oil Spill is like 9-11.
There is now clear evidence that the negligence by the Obama Administration caused the destruction of the Gulf coastline.
** Weeks after the explosion the feds only accepted assistance from 5 of 28 countries.
** It took the Obama Administration 53 days to accept help from the Dutch and British.
** It took them 58 days to mobilize the US military to the Gulf.
** The feds shut down crude-sucking barges due to fire extinguisher concerns.
** The Obama Administration ignore oil boom manufacturers that have miles of product stockpiled in their warehouses.
** They only have moved 31 of 2,000 oil skimmers to the disaster area off of Florida.
** Florida hired an additional 5 skimmer boats to operate off its coast due to federal inaction.
** There are no skimmer boats off the coast of Mississippi.
** The massive A-Boat skimmer won’t be allowed to join the cleanup effort until the Coast Guard and the EPA figure out whether it meets their standards.
** The feds shut down sand berm dredging off the Louisiana coast.
** The Obama Administration lied about the oil spill cleanup efforts to Louisiana officials.
76 Days after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig the massive “whale” oil skimmer finally reached the Gulf of Mexico.
Again a Huge Hat Tip to Gateway Pundit
