First we have Bobby Jindal accusing President Obama of not helping with the spill... unfortunately, that was HIS job... OOPS! The Federal Gov't had already authorized the deployment of troops to go help with the spill, but Mr. Jindal was too busy using the few of them he DID deploy to block the media...
"As I wrote earlier today, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is holding up the deployment of thousands of National Guard troops even though President Obama has already authorized them to fight the oil spill.
It's an embarrassing situation for Jindal, because for the last two months he's blasted the Obama administration for not providing him with enough resources to fight the spill. Now it turns out that while Jindal was busy getting headlines and trashing the federal government, he was failing to actually use the resources that he'd already been given.
Still, Jindal did activate a handful of troops. What did he do with them? Well, as you can see in this video from June 10, one of their duties was to support Louisana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in blocking media access to BP contractor handling oiled birds."

And Jan Brewer was countered by both the Border Patrol AND John McCain for her "drug mule" comment. Should we let someone who doesn't even understand the nature of the problem to come up with an extreme "cure" for it. She thinks she's stopping drug mules. Does she even LIVE in AZ, if she didn't know that?

Get it together, GOP... you guys are unraveling...
