Louisiana Governor Jindal gave a tour of the area to reporters showing the damage of the oil spill. BP launched an ambitious deep sea operation to choke off a gushing oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, but President Barack Obama cautioned Americans there was no guarantee it would work. BP is under intense pressure from Obama to bring a swift end to the five-week-old spill that threatens an environmental catastrophe and has ignited a political storm.

She wants a holiday weekend back home with daddy, but he's got such a huge job, and one you can't leave at the office.

... knowing that he probably cant.

I did laugh today during his weird answer about the MMS director when he said, "it happened when I had a LOT of other stuff going on."

He won't rest...
