2. let's see if I have this right.
If North Korea invaded the Gulf of Mexico and started dumping radioactive waste, the federal government could immediately take any drastic action required.

But if British Petroleum blows up a platform and thoroughly murders the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding land and wetlands, our hands are tied?

What an amazingly non-competent non-leader. I'm sorry it may not be "Obama's Katrina" but it's certainly not the opposite.
