"Who's in charge here?"

As far as I can tell, getting oil onto the shore is the objective...

"The Coast Guard came and shut them down," Jindal said. "You got men on the barges in the oil, and they have been told by the Coast Guard, 'Cease and desist. Stop sucking up that oil.'"

A Coast Guard representative told ABC News today that it shares the same goal as the governor.

"We are all in this together. The enemy is the oil," said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Dan Lauer.

But the Coast Guard ordered the stoppage because of reasons that Jindal found frustrating. The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.

And just going on board and looking for the damned fire extinguishers was completely out of the question?

Also, may I say as a slow-satellite user that I really hate news sites with video that plays automatically? Thank yew.
