Is the Obama Administration deliberately making the effects of the oil spill worse?

Dan Collins:  Big Oil Maneuvering and Vestiture, or The Unified Theory of Obama Fail

There’s simply no other way to explain the administration’s refusal, rather than mere inability, to come to grips with the spill. They see it as an opportunity, and Rahm has already signalled that in the upcoming elections, the Dems intend to run against BP, despite their own links with the company that was going to save the world.
At some point ineptitude is no longer believable and sabotage is suspected.

Federal Gov't Halts Sand Berm Dredging
The federal government has shut down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico.

The berms are meant to protect the Louisiana coastline from oil. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department has concerns about where the dredging is being done. The department says one area where sand is being dredged is a sensitive section of the Chandeleur Islands, and the state failed to meet an extended deadline to install pipe that would draw sand from a less-endangered area.
 
Let's see, if dredging stops the endangered wildlife will be covered in oil.  Does Fish & Wildlife prefer that answer?

Hi--
I really like your website, but I'm having difficulty with the new format. The colors are nice, but it takes a while to load. My biggest problem is with scrolling, which is very slow and jerky. A work in progress, perhaps? --Phil
