Florida GOP Sen. George LeMieux speaking on the Senate Floor today, June 21, 2010, where he blasted the Obama Administration’s response to the Gulf Oil Spill Crisis.
He particularly slammed Obama for the fact that there are still only 20 skimmers working off the coast of Florida to keep the oil at bay. This despite the fact LeMieux was told there are 2,000 skimmers available in the U.S. alone, in addition to international offers of help with skimmers.
LeMieux said he was told only 20 skimmers were in use to contain the massive Gulf Oil Spill because others may be needed “for an oil spill!” Are you kidding? Imagine the difference it would make if you had 2000 skimmers at work in the Gulf instead of 20. Sen. LeMieux said he will return to the Senate floor every day to ask, “Where are the skimmers?”
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama has been dragging his feet on this from day one. It is painfully obvious. He is dancing in his heart about this oil spill, in his mind it is a tool he is using to ban drilling for oil. What an evil, evil man he is.
