Go Kevin --Costner cleanup device gets high marks from BP - now to General Honore'

I said this from the get go --and kept pushing---see my earlier Blogs -- Now they need to talk to General Honore' for the rest... General Honore' should have been brought in from the start - for Emergency Preparedness...He has the experience in Disasters such as this. Has proven it over and over again.

If I had been Senator or advising - I would have pushed for both Costner and General Honroe' to be the go to guys. Why our politicians are so slow to act really ticks me off...I do have to give Senator Bill Nelson some credit for pushing for the Navy --but his pleas fell on deaf ears at the White House...Obama sat on his hands too long which proves to me he is not a good leader in a crisis situation. Governor Crist, annoyed me because he's too concerned with his candidacy for the U.S. Senate and was playing along with President Obama for Dem votes instead of doing his job as Governor...In an emergency a leader must do what is necessary to resolve the problem...doing so would make them more qualified for their jobs in the eyes of the public and the media. They are sadly mistaken when they think otherwise - just showing up and posturing for the cameras does nothing to help anyone - especially the crisis at hand... A leader must know how to evaluate the crisis and act on it immediately -- to hesitate can cost lives...Ask any General in charge of their command...hesitate, blink or pause and all that's left is regret and tears.

It was treated as an oddball twist in the otherwise wrenching saga of the BP oil spill when Kevin Costner stepped forward to promote a device he said could work wonders in containing the spill's damage. But as Henry Fountain explains in the New York Times, the gadget in question — an oil-separating centrifuge — marks a major breakthrough in spill cleanup technology. And BP, after trial runs with the device, is ordering 32 more of the Costner-endorsed centrifuges to aid the Gulf cleanup.
