Obama, will it take as long to get an MRI as a boom to Alabama?

These questions need answers from both Obama and the MSM, particularly after the content free speech last night. Someone needs to answer these:

• Why are locals not being hired to clean up the beaches in the Gulf area?
• Why are prisoners being used?
• Why is it taking so long for BP to get money to industries and workers in the Gulf area?
• Why is American boom not being purchased? (Packgen)
• Are American industries being demonized (boom, oil, gas, health care, banking, auto dealers) intentionally?
• Why hasn't the Jones Act been waived?
• Why is air space being restricted over the spill?
• Is the oil spill far worse than we are being told?
• Why won't the MSM address Egypt's foreign minister's statement that Obama told him he is a Muslim?
• Why is the president of the United States only meeting with BP execs 2 months after the spill, and why is he only meeting with those execs for 20 minutes? Has Obama no questions of them? Is he not curious about the situation?
• The states most affected by the oil spill are RED states. Does this have anything to do with the sluggishness of government response? 
• Why would a government committee/consortium take SIX months to decide about the future of the oil industry in the United States when they know that will kill the industry?
• Why aren't the available technologies being utilized to clean up the Gulf area, as shown on Huckabee's show on FNC? Are you, Mr. president, snubbing those companies because they had the audacity to appear on FNC? Shouldn't loyalty to the country supercede partisanship?
• How much of the government response has been determined by petty partisanship?
• Why aren't government regulations being waived in this crisis? Why isn't paperwork being streamlined?
• Isn't there anyone in charge in the government who is competent enough to move things along?
• Why are oil rigs being idled at $16.5 million a day?
• How on earth does the oil spill mess assure the public that the government will be able to handle health care for over 300 million people, when it can't even get enough boom down to Alabama? 

AND THE QUESTION OF THE DECADE: Will it take as long to get an MRI as it takes the government to get a boom to Alabama?
