Not that the guy isn't qualified because I don't know if he is, but part time? Really? This administration is not doing itself any favors in the public's eye. Especially with the people down here in the Gulf Coast region. Don't know about yall, but this gives me a pretty good idea of how important the recovery is to them.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's point man charting a new future for the oil-poisoned Gulf Coast will do the job part-time. Some environmentalists said the job demands someone's full attention.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who oversees 900,000 Navy and Marine personnel, is inheriting an amorphous second job as the Obama administration's leader of long-term environmental and economic planning. His task is no less than rebuilding a region still suffering after Hurricane Katrina and beset by decades of environmental problems.

Mabus won't resign from his Navy job. When President George W. Bush picked Donald Powell to lead the recovery after Hurricane Katrina, Powell resigned as head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
