McCain doing what Barry wouldnt.

Friday U.S. Senator John McCain, R-AZ, introduced legislation for a total repeal of the 1920 maritime law, which mandates that all goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported in U.S.-built, U.S.-owned and U.S.-manned ships.

Hawaii Congress member Charles Djou, R, D-HI, in a letter June 23, joined GOP congress members from Florida and Texas in asking President Barack Obama for a Jones Act exemption in the Gulf of Mexico. Djou says the law is deterring foreign countries from bringing in highly trained workers and the latest technology to lend their expertise.

Im torn on this one....

The Jones Act gave Barry an excuse to let this disaster get as bad as it has, never let a good crisis go to waste. I agree with Djou, exemptions should be made, but not a full blown repeal. But if the only way to get it done is a full blown repeal, lets have it.
