The administration has said that all offers of aid have been accepted. The one offer that apparently was refused was from Russia, who offered rescue teams. Sory, russian rescue teams probably equates to russian troops, who don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to humanitarian aid.

Again, I know the President is the root of all evil, but I sincerely doubt his concern right now is for the profits of the oil industry. In fact, if congress REALLY wanted to do something to help out, they could suspend fuel taxes unti lthe refineries on the GC get back online, and then maybe say to hell with the not in my backyard crowd and start letting the oil industry build some refineries OUT OF THE LINE OF THE HURRICANES!
