Not being serious enough on the Gulf Oil Spill Cleanup: President Obama disappoints again.

On Wednesday I had posted another promotion regarding who should be in charge of the Gulf Oil Cleanup. I had suggested 2 people. The first was General Schwarzkopfp, leader in the Gulf War. The second was Lt. General Honore, who was a lead in Hurricane Katrina efforts. So this morning we learn President Obama picked neither. In fact he is picking a part-timer to head up the effort. From Yahoo news this morning, this: "Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who oversees 900,000 Navy and Marine personnel, is inheriting an amorphous second job as the Obama administration's leader of long-term environmental and economic planning. His task is no less than rebuilding a region still suffering after Hurricane Katrina and beset by decades of environmental problems."

This doesn't look like War on the Gulf Oil spill at all. Geez, common Mr. President. Can't you do better than that? Sadly to say, I guess not.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honore could lead Gulf Oil Spill cleanup!

Today on CNN's John King program, retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore said we need to treat the Gulf Oil Spill as a War and mobilize every asset. From the government he said we should mobilize Army troops, the Navy and the Air Force to meet this crisis and take the fight off the shores and back into the Gulf. Honore is best remembered from Hurricane Katrina advisor to the media of New Orleans. He was the main person on the scene and was quite capable to do what was necessary to save lives and resolve problems. The other day I had suggested President Obama mobilize General Schwarzkopf, who headed the Iraq war. I would be just as pleased to have him take this Oil Spill cleanup and Oil floating in the Gulf. But Lt. Gen. Honore could mobilize and coordinate this problem to everyone's satisfaction. He is a man of action.
