A Tennessee Valley Authority for the Gulf Coast?
Doug Brinkley: Administration is Going to Come Out With a Large Gulf Recovery Act.

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/doug-brinkley-administration-going-come-ou

snip:

"Well this is one of the more encouraging things I've heard in a while about what's going to be done about this disaster in the Gulf. When I hear they're doing more to contain and capture the oil that's already out there I'll believe the administration is finally handling this in a manner that's actually going to do some good.

Douglas Brinkley talked to Anderson Cooper about what the Obama administration is going to do to attempt to restore the Gulf coast after years and years of neglect. Even "Be the daddy" James Carville sounded impressed. I'm holding my applause until after I see some action and not talk because it's already absolutely inexcusable that they've allowed all the dispersants to be poured into the water and not done more to contain and collect the oil so far while these BP executives are allowed to go on the air and continue denying that the huge oil plumes in the Gulf even exist."

say no to it and look like the assholes they are.
