Gulf Oil Cleanup Needs Leadership - Where is Winston Wolf?

After catching some of President Obama's speech regarding the Gulf Oil Spill debacle, it is clear there is no leadership at the top. Hell, if even Olbermann and Matthews are knocking the prez on MSNBC, you know it looks bad.

What, or rather, who we need is Winston Wolf! Yeah, remember, the Wolf, the character in Pulp Fiction played by Harvey Keitel that was called in by Marcellus Wallace to deal with the mess created by the characters portrayed by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Wolf sped to the scene, made his assessment, then began barking orders to direct the clean up. He did what Obama never seems to want to do, and that is make a DECISION! Obama always seems to want to defer or to blame. Rarely does he give direction and leadership. Instead, he calls in the experts and confers. In his speech tonite he continues to bring up the qualifications of his staff, the Nobel prizes and such, rather than give direction.

Well, hopefully, Winston Wolf is out there somewhere and he can get this mess cleaned up.

I also read tonite that Governor Jindal in Louisiana has finally leaped over the federal bureaucracy and ordered the National Guard to begin creating sand barriers off the coast to keep the oil from getting into the wetlands and marshes down there. Jindal has been frustrated for weeks by the lack of cooperation from the feds and finally took matters into his own hands.

Maybe Governor Jindal should be in charge of the clean up as well. Seems to me the governor of Louisiana is a better equipped leader than the current POTUS.
