Roger Wicker Accuses Democrats of 'Playing Politics' With Gulf Oil Disaster While Playing Politics With Gulf Oil Disaster

We've heard a lot of carping from Republicans on how the Obama administration has handled this disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and Sen. Roger Wicker from "the coast is clear, come on down" Mississippi was no exception with the Republican's response to the President's weekly address. Wicker complains that the Obama administration has politicized the disaster while doing little more than politicizing it himself with this rebuttal.

He complains that the Democrats heaven forbid would like to get their energy bill passed which of course is going to end up being friendly to industry even if it does manage to make its way through the Senate, but in Wicker's world that's exploiting "this crisis to push his liberal agenda for a cap-and-tax scheme".

And Sen. Wicker is upset that "the Democratic plan to increase oil cleanup fees and raid those funds to pay for unrelated programs".
