So what’s the deal with the butt-hurt conservatives lately? They say this is Obama’s Katrina, like it’s something that isn’t being handled properly and there’s multiple levels of command failures everywhere. Can the US government physically stop an oil spill? No. The government can’t stop a Hurricane, much less an oil spill. But what can they do? The government can put a freeze on deep water drilling for 6 months to make sure this type of thing never happens again — can you say that about hurricanes?
There’s probably a lot more the US government and the president can do about mobilizing more personnel and organizing them in the clean-up effort, but at least they are organized and not a tragic mess like the Katrina FEMA response was. So is this Obama’s Katrina? Definitely not.
