There’s an old protectionist shipping law hampering the cooperative efforts to clean up the oil slick in the Gulf.
Jones Act of 1920 slows clean-up of BP oil spill in Gulf and Louisiana coast.
The Europeans have noticed that Obama did not act his ability to waive the Jones Act so that European ships could assist with clean of of the BP oil spill.
Bush remembered to waive this same act so that there could be international assistance after Katrina………. but, you see, Obama’s response to this environmental problem is MUCH SLOWER than Bush’s response to Katrina.
So, radio hosts…….. get busy with making fun of Obama for this major omission. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal needs your help.
