What a load of bullshite.

These people spend most of the time telling Washington, D.C. that "we don't need you, we can take care of ourselves, thank you very much." But yet, here we are yelling," why isn't Washington, D.C. doing anything? Slow to respond! Hep me! Hep me!"

Total fricking bullshite.

Make up your fricking minds.

We would be glad to take care of our own shite, unfortunately the government has a million miles of red tape we need to trudge through before we get squat done. I bet most people down here would be satisfied if the government gave us a couple billion, and then just let us do our thing. They could get the hell out of the way in regards to letting us build the berms and jetties as we want, not how some pencil pusher in D.C. would like us to do it, and plus we wouldn't have to wait 4 weeks to get approval for things.

No Sir, the total bullshite is your ignoring of obstacles and roadblocks established by the DC "Know it Alls" that have constantly kept local response hog tied. We are not asking for DC to fix this, we are asking DC to get the $%U#Y# out of our way so we can do the things necessary to fix the problem. THIS is the DC we have never had a use for, that won't let us fix it ourselves, no thanks necessary. C'mon, quit flaming and get on the team here -

During the last 45-60 days, Our Gov, and Parish Presidents have been trying to get the Feds out of the way in order to handle this. Yet BP will not grant access, has set up marine blockades with the assistance of the USCG, and has constantly misled the local community (with the assistance of both the Dept. of Interior and DOE) as to the severity of the incident. Holding skimming barges at dock because there were not enough port o lets on board is just one example. Do local authorities hold emergency response personnel at fire stations because OSHA has not had a chance to approve the number of operational toilets with the response area? Give me a break. The anointed one and the rest of DC has yet to understand the dire "emergency" created by BP, and continues to operate with cranium anal insertion overload. Almost every effort made by outside contractors or State/Local Gov't is met with so much red tape or regulatory oversight that nothing is being accomplished.

The cries for help are not come fix the leak and clean it up, they are for someone with authority to get down here to streamline the approval procedures, getting all of the "bullshite" as you say out of the way so something can be accomplished.

Those Sir,are the "Cries" you are hearing, which are not "bullshite".
