Its puzzling it took President Obama so long to address a waiting nation regarding a tragedy that he has compared to September 11th. While he spent two months searching for someone to blame residents of the Gulf Coast have been searching for answers and looking for help. . .the Presidents moratorium on deepwater drilling will likely destroy tens of thousands of jobs in the Gulf region. . . Now the President hopes to use this crisis to force a job-killing energy tax on the American people. . .President Obama should focus on stopping the leak and helping state and local governments protect their beaches and fisheries. . . he needs to abandon his job-killing policies starting with his national energy tax."
--U.S. Senator John Cornyn
