I suspect that one of the biggest groups of unemployed people in the Gulf Coast region are oil production and related service workers who have been put out of business by President Obama's unilateral executive closure of all deepwater drilling operataions.
Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if Obama's concern for water ecology extended to the Great Lakes, threatened by the Asian carp influx through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. The canal that Obama coulc close, with a stroke of his pen, if he elected to do so.
I guess the one thing that Chicago and Lousiana have in common is that all politics is local. Y'all.
