Midknight Review -- new and revised: Now, the Dems will not allow the GOP House members to travel to the Gulf.

Editor's notes: more partisan behavior on the part of the Democrats. There is no reason why GOP members cannot use their office funds and travel to the Gulf to view the situation - Homeland Security nonsense aside. We are thinking that the Dems will recant but, for now, this is a story that does not make them look good. How mismanaged IS this Gulf mess.

Politico reports: Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) wanted to fly 10 lawmakers down to the Gulf of Mexico to see the damage caused by BP’s gigantic oil spill first hand.

House Democrats said no.

Scalise’s trip was rejected for a variety of bureaucratic and logistical reasons, but it has also opened a new vein of partisan squabbling over who should be allowed to arrange a trip to view the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Republicans want to be able to take trips using their office spending allowance.

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
