Rutledge Wants Obama Administration to Lead, Follow, or Get Out Of The Way
FOREST HILL, Maryland- Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Rutledge disputes President Obama’s claim that he is doing everything possible in response to the environmental crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. Today Obama will visit the region again bringing with him well wishes and hollow threats instead of an organized federal government response. Inaction by the Obama Administration provides another example of a Washington bureaucracy that is too big and ineffective. Jim Rutledge said, “This Administration should lead, follow or at least get out of the way.”
The Gulf Coast Region is struggling to contain and clean up as much as 2 million barrels of oil that have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. Jim Rutledge believes Washington should get its priorities straight. Instead of spending billions of dollars and driving Americans further into debt, Washington should be focusing on limiting the adverse effect this crisis will have on the Gulf Coast economy. Rutledge said, “This crisis will affect our national economy at a time when we don’t need anymore negative factors.”
Jim Rutledge encourages President Obama to meet with the Governors of the Gulf Coast Region collectively to incorporate their concerns and solutions to help meet this challenge. The President should be leading the way to organize the region and harness all possible resources. A massive federal response to this crisis is counter productive when the effort lacks leadership and organization. The Obama Administration should be ordering federal agencies to suspend regulations and stop standing in the way of local attempts to protect and save the Gulf Coast.
Jim Rutledge feels strongly that federal agencies should not be hampering local efforts but instead should be providing the necessary assistance to support local and state governments. The time has come for Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to stop wasting time criticizing and looking for photo opportunities. Real leadership is now required from President Obama to provide the proper resolve to eliminate the piecemeal federal response and start meeting the challenges of this crisis.

They are taking charge.....behind the scenes. With UN military vehicles and troops landing in Texas. This administration plans on initiating a National state of Emergency, soon to be world wide crisis which will grant them unbridled powers and control...hence the UN's arrival. The well casing is ruptured, the flow unstoppable and will get worse as each day passes. They are all aware of this but reluctant to warn anyone. The gulf and the east coast shores are doomed. The oil will also spread to all commercial fishing grounds which will devastate employment and cause a portion of famine.
Great, just what we need. THE UN!!!! PLEASE! Jim Rutledge is going to be a great leader and together with Bobby Jindal and other common sense type leaders, could do more in one day than the Feds can do in months. We don't have time for testing and red tape. We don't need empty promises from Obama who has NO idea what the hell is going on, except that he blames BP totally for the accident and only sees the political fallout of this problem.
This guy is has said nothing contributory. Typical attorney hack.
