Florida Sen. George Lemieux (R) said this morning that President Obama or Vice President Joe Biden should be down at the Gulf Coast leading the effort to contain and cleanup the oil spill. Obama’s actually there today. But Lemieux seemed to suggest that one of them should be there at all times.
“I wanna see my president not in a suit in Washington D.C.,” Lemieux said. “I wanna see him down on the Gulf Coast, not just for a day of photo shoot, but on the job, leading the effort. When he’s not there, I want Joe Biden. I don’t want him in Africa going to a soccer game. Let’s show some leadership.”
