BI70, they cannot use it because it was not made in the USA.

Believe it is the Jones act, from 1920. Requires an exemption to allow foreign made ships to work in the US.

Of course, Obama refuses to allow the exemption, even though OTHER presidents have granted it before.

Yea, he is looking out for us.

Obama is very good at signing executive orders, why not one to allow this ship to help clean up the gulf?

Here is just a few he has signed already, he has signed more then any other president in history.

Potus shuts down entire gulf to oil drilling put hundred of thousands out of work. So what does he do to show his deep concern? Goes on a golfing vacation, good to know our President is deeply concerned with the plight of the Americans in the gulf. NOT! Now BO wants to tax the people of the gulf when they receive their check from bp. Isn't that double dipping, gets 20 billion dollars from bp then taxes the people on that same money.
