NEW ORLEANS (http://www.wdsu.com/news/23997498/detail.html) -- The federal government is shutting 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.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who was one of the most vocal advocates of the dredging plan, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, pleading for the work to continue.
Nungesser said the government has asked crews to move the dredging site two more miles farther off the coastline.

"Once again, our government resource agencies, which are intended to protect us, are now leaving us vulnerable to the destruction of our coastline and marshes by the impending oil," Nungesser wrote to Obama. "Furthermore, with the threat of hurricanes or tropical storms, we are being put at an increased risk for devastation to our area from the intrusion of oil.

Nungesser has asked for the dredging to continue for the next seven days, the amount of time it would take to move the dredging operations two miles and out resume work.

Work is scheduled to halt at midnight Wednesday

Barry doesn't want the oil to be cleaned up!

He wants it to be worse so he can strong-arm his cap and trade nonsense through Congress.

He's an Environmental Fascist!

Without even looking I can tell it's a BS article and argument.

It gives no reason why the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department wants the dredging stopped.

Then the jump that Obama is making them stop is stupid and that he wants the mess to get worse is frankly in the area of mental illness.

Close your eyes and think for a moment, I venture a dime to a dollar, that BP claused the $20 billion,which people will NEED to dip into for mere survival, to sign away litigation rights when it is accepted.

It's not like they are playing with real money; it's not a gold standard and gold is the only thing of value. :umm:

Awe, Elvis. Don't despair.
It'll all work out. There's no way a loophole is being used or gosh forbid unethical practices that is kept close to the center's chest.
