Obama gets hammered by GOP foe Jindal over BP oil spill

(Reuters) - Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal in a new book accuses the White House of caring more about President Barack Obama's image during the BP oil spill than fixing the problem itself.

The government led a "lackadaisical" response and the White House was guilty of "political posturing" over the spill, said Jindal, a conservative and the nation's first Indian-American governor. Jindal's name has come up as a possible candidate for the Republican party's presidential nomination in 2012.

The 256-page "Leadership and Crisis", which is part autobiography and part conservative manifesto, contains a long chapter on the spill with behind-the-scenes detail and singles out the federal government for criticism.

"The White House seemed to focus on the wrong things. I felt like we needed to be on a wartime footing against the oil, and the president was wondering, why is everybody criticizing me," Jindal said.

Millions of gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico between April and July after a BP rig exploded and sank. The spill, which made headlines for months, damaged the environment and economy of coastal states including Louisiana.

No more book postings today, k?  I have to add this one to my list as well.  I like Jindal.  I hear from people that live in LA that he isn't what outsiders see, that he is a bit of a RINO.  I bet he has a good story though.

it was sort of a fluke.  but ok.   

my folks are generally from that neck of the woods, and I can assure you that LA politics is screwed up on it's very best day.  anytime a major hurricane plows into a US city and leaves it cleaner than it was before, you have to suspect that things are a tad dysfunctional.

Oh, I know all about that.  I hail from Gulfport myself.     Well, I did, BK.
