We were real smart in 2008 electing an inexperienced Chicago thug who had never actually run anything, butt: he is real REAL good with a prompter!
When someone who has never run anything butt his arrogant mouth steps into the toughest job in the world, likely only bad things can happen. N' yes Mrs Jones: they are a happenin' now:
Not only did this incompetent fool turn down the Brit's offer to help he also turned down the Dutch. Guess ya really wouldn't wanna violate the "Jones act" if ya owed the Unions some Chicago favors now would ya? :mad: :confused:

"Three days after the explosion, the Dutch government offered to assist the United States by sending ships equipped with oil-skimming booms. It also provided a plan for creating sand barriers to protect the sensitive marshlands of the Gulf coast.
According to Geert Visser, Consul General for the Netherlands in Houston “The embassy got a nice letter from the administration that said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’”
Almost seven weeks later, the administration finally relented and agreed to accept partial Dutch assistance with the cleanup. The administration has not accepted Dutch ships, but has allowed the skimming booms to be airlifted from the Netherlands and deployed in the Gulf."
