For 8 months, I have been going around saying over and over that President Obama signed an executive order 84 days after the BP oil spill establishing a bipartisan national commission.

No one pointed out that I was wrong. The fact is, the President signed the executive order just 32 days later. The commission – tasked with providing recommendations on how we can prevent and mitigate the impact of any future spills that result from offshore drilling – was signed a mere 32 days after the oil disaster.

I have been comparing the quick speed of the President’s executive order to investigate the oil spill with the non-existence of a Presidential executive order to investigate the federal flood protection failures during Katrina.

It has been more than five years since the horrific levee failures and flooding drowned New Orleans and killed over 1,500 and still no POTUS has ordered a commission like the one ordered for the BP disaster, the twin tower collapses and the Challenger explosion.

We continue to propose that we need the 8/29 Investigation Act, written in 2006 by Levees.org with the bipartisan assistance of US Senators David Vitter R-LA and Mary Landrieu D-LA.
