Here it was, the crystallizing moment that told us who is who and what is what in the Gulf oil spill disaster and that also signaled that there really is reliable leadership to be found in this country.

Not that there was high drama when Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal got 16 barges busy dredging up BP oil that was otherwise going to wreak havoc. He has been ever alert, ever in motion, ever figuring out new ways to save his state from ruin, and this decisive action was nothing new for him…

He is a wonder, this Jindal. He has been engaged in every facet of what’s going on, as in demanding sand barriers to protect the coast and providing answers to those that questioned the idea’s wisdom, in striking contrast to Obama, whose way of addressing the catastrophe has largely been political.
