Papa Ray….”But the most likly explanation is that the memo never made it to the Coast Guard but was held up by Obama’s administration, who don’t understand that time is something that is not wasted in a crisis.”

One copy of the letter was addressed directly to the admiral at his Second Street (USCG) address. If he didn’t get it, it was most likely held up in the Coast Guard bureaucracy, not by Obama staffers.

BUT, notice that a copy was also sent to Interior Secretary Salazar. A competent executive, on receiving this letter, would have investigated to find out if the ball had been dropped somewhere.
