No. Neither are effective, nor should they be. I don’t expect the CEO of UPS to deliver packages, I don’t expect the owner of Intel to install my new computer.

Looks like Obama isn’t the only one cashing out on the spill. We better check this Jindal guys basement for some barrels that might have slipped off the boat and rolled away.

This would be the same Bobby Jindal who was on the news every night complaining that he couldn’t get approval to build sand berms, but when the approval came through, had to admit that his state didn’t have the material, equipment, or money to actually do anything? All Jindal has done since this started is cry for the federal government to come and save him.
Who you calling a Black Hole!

Yes, Bobby Jindal is more effective in the gulf than Obama.
The Obama administration’s response was slow and ineffective. The president’s first reflex was to try to distance himself from the crisis, hoping Americans would blame BP and leave his administration out of the picture. When that didn’t work, he opted for photo-ops on the damaged shoreline and angry rhetoric. Now, nearly two months into the crisis, he’s decided to use the oil spill to advance his own policy agenda, namely cap-and-trade legislation that would make energy more expensive and punish consumers.
The Obama administration can’t stop the oil flow — only the oil industry has the expertise to do so. But the administration can and should be doing more to protect the shoreline. The president has yet to suspend the Jones Act, which limits the ability of foreign-flag ships to join the effort to contain the spill. Why? Because U.S. maritime trade unions might complain. And he has not done enough to enlist the help and support of other oil companies who have experience dealing with spills. Why hasn’t the president asked for help from the Saudis, for example, or enlisted supertankers and foreign skimmers?
Instead, the president delivered an Oval Office address this week — the first of his presidency — to try to turn the oil spill disaster into an argument for ending “America’s century-long addiction to fossil fuels.” And his primary means of doing so is to discourage further exploration for oil and gas on U.S. land and to further tax oil consumption. o_O
