Where are the experts, President Obama? Why have you not brought in those familiar with the oil industry to deal with this crisis in the Gulf? Even the AP, no bastion of conservatism, is quick to point out this fact.
Read from Gateway Pundit:
Figures. Obama’s Oil Spill Commission Picked For Radical Background Not Technical Expertise
"What a complete shock… The members picked for Obama’s Oil Spill Commission are radical environmentalists and have no technical expertise or experience in the oil industry.
The AP reported:
'The panel appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is short on technical expertise but long on talking publicly about “America’s addiction to oil.” One member has blogged about it regularly.
Only one of the seven commissioners, the dean of Harvard’s engineering and applied sciences school, has a prominent engineering background — but it’s in optics and physics. Another is an environmental scientist with expertise in coastal areas and the after-effects of oil spills. Both are praised by other scientists.
The five other commissioners are experts in policy and management.
The White House said the commission will focus on the government’s “too cozy” relationship with the oil industry. A presidential spokesman said panel members will “consult the best minds and subject matter experts” as they do their work.
The commission has yet to meet, yet some panel members had made their views known.'
The Boston Globe took a closer look at these radicals on the commission today."

Guess you didn't read the whole AP article, huh?
"That makes sense," said John Marburger, who was science adviser to President GEORGE W. BUSH.
"It's not really a technical commission," Marburger said. "It's a commission that's more oriented to understanding the regulatory and organizational framework, which clearly has a major bearing on the incident."
