Cuba shows no sign of impending damage, yet Obama finds time to expedite American clean up forces for them. Depraved indifference to US life.

• 7/4, "Obama says: Cuba, Si! Gulf Coast, No!," American Thinker by J. Hunt

Near the end of a 7/2 Wall Street Journal story it emerges Obama's thoughts are with Cuba, as he finds time to issue licenses to clean up firms in the unlikely event the brutal dictatorship needs clean up from the Gulf oil spill:

• "In the event of a spill in Cuban waters, many ships, equipment and personnel from the U.S. Gulf Coast could be prevented from helping because of the embargo.

But that may be changing. A Treasury Department spokeswoman said some

• U.S. firms involved in oil cleanup have been issued licenses to travel to Cuba
  
• in case oil from the continuing spill hits beaches there. "...

As has been exhaustively documented, Obama has done nothing but thwart clean up efforts in the already devastated US, with media aiding him in what can only be described as criminal negligence and depraved indifference to all American life forms. Instead of filing charges against Obama on behalf of the people, most of the Beltway political class are fine with all this.

• (Am. Thinker): "Team Obama has expended time, resources, personnel (and funding) to issue those travel licenses and assure that American workers could be able to travel to Cuba in order to clean up Cuba's beaches if the Macondo #1 blowout spill reaches Cuba,
  
• a very slim possibility.

The Obama administration found time to do that, while they have slow walked requests of Americans to contain the spill and/or clean up what has already hit beaches and swamps of the American Gulf Coast. "...

• As others have observed, the Beltway political class is as separated from and scornful of US citizens as the British were when they were in charge of us. ed.
