As far as Midknight Review is concerned, the Gulf disaster, among other things, is a clean-up fiasco - and that is all on Obama !!

Editor's notes: Obama stops the creation of the sand barriers and the folks in the Louisiana Gulf region are begging him to give this matter immediate attention But, of course, he has his own priorities and they clearly do not include the Gulf clean-up effort. He is wedded to his green agenda and is apparently willing to sacrifice a part of the Gulf region and its economy to further that goal. So it is off to the races with Cap and Trade tax and 5 dollar a gallon gas -- the Gulf be damned.

Midknight Review claims an Obama conspiracy of using the Gulf crisis to further his Green Agenda. Here is our argument:

During the period of time ExxonMobile had acquired one safety violation, BP amassed 760 violations but was given a safety award by the Obama Administration. The Hill recently carried a critical review of these awards, making this observation:

Obama and BP

BP, Massey Energy and Tesoro all have hauled out plaques celebrating safety achievements to deflect allegations of corporate recklessness in the aftermath of explosions in April that killed 47 of their workers.
Though each of these corporations accepted awards for safety statistics, not one has taken responsibility for workplace deaths. The disconnect between safety awards and dead workers has enabled these corporations to characterize the explosions as accidents, random events for which no one really is to blame, certainly not corporate officials who control conditions in workplaces. That’s why these pseudo-safety awards are so destructive. Our conclusion: BP is a friend of Obama.

Add to this the under reported fact that BP stands to earn millions as an energy producer in the Obama Administration's green fuel economy. We remind our readers of the hundreds of "green" commercials produced by BP in 2006 thru 2008. Let's not forget that Obama has limited BP's annual liability payout to $5 billion per year when he set up the $20 billion open-ended escrow account [it is "20 billion" after 4 years, not "20 billion" in the first year.] When all this is considered, we have no reason to believe that Obama and BP are not in the same bed as to the issue of "green fuel" production.

Understand that Obama has GE (the owner of NBC News - including MSNBC) on tap to build and supply the engines for all those windmills he dreams of installing, NOT to mention the reconstruction of the "green electric grid" of which GE will make billions. With BP as his primary "green bio fuel" manufacturer, he has the primary producers of his green economy already in place -- they've been there since before the election.

Obama and conspiracy

All is going as scheduled and then the Deepwater Horizon explosion -- unplanned and devastating to his "cause." For the first month, he really does not know what to do. He waits for 8 days before making any kind of public statement. It is May 24, before he addresses the Nation -- the explosion was a month earlier on April 20th. Why the delay? He had no plan -- in fact, his plans were covered in oil. But, then, a light went on between those rather large ears. Here is the result:

Obama realizes that the disaster is his friend. His "Green Agenda" is deader than a door nail. Rather than his enemy, the Crisis becomes his ally. Suddenly, he understands that what helps in getting his green agenda back on track is the Gulf Region crisis, itself. Obama decides to intensify the pain and, in doing so, increase the immediacy for his solution. Obama decides to continue the use of chemical disbursements, to refuse a waiver to the Jones Act, to interfere with the 16 recovery barges, to shut down off-shore drilling at the cost of tens of thousands of jobs immediately, to limit BP's annual liability, and, now, to resist the creation of the sand barriers at the very beginning hurricane season --- all this tantamount to a conspiracy on the part of Obama to create or heighten the intensity of the Gulf Crisis at all levels. Disagree? Too "conspiratorial?" A bit too "low life," even for Obama? Well, just go back and review our "red" comments. Understand that these are all Obama Administration decisions -- and they have all been made in the past 30 days of this crisis !! Coincidence or conspiracy? We report, you decide -- jds

And now, the story that inspired this post:

Headline: Nungesser Pleads With President To Allow Work To Continue

Story line:
The federal government is shutting down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico.The berms are meant to protect the Louisiana coastline from oil. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department has concerns about where the dredging is being done.Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who was one of the most vocal advocates of the dredging plan, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, pleading for the work to continue.Nungesser said the government has asked crews to move the dredging site two more miles farther off the coastline."Once again, our government resource agencies, which are intended to protect us, are now leaving us vulnerable to the destruction of our coastline and marshes by the impending oil," Nungesser wrote to Obama. "Furthermore, with the threat of hurricanes or tropical storms, we are being put at an increased risk for devastation to our area from the intrusion of oil.Nungesser has asked for the dredging to continue for the next seven days, the amount of time it would take to move the dredging operations two miles and out resume work.
