The Obama administration is evil, and I'm working really hard to find out a reason how their latest action fits within their grand scheme to sell off all of of the children of America as slave labor for oil companies looking to test whether oil is edible, but it's still worth reading about their latest attempt to appease the people who declared Obama a failure after Rick Warren.
The Obama administration is blocking all new offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, a day after regulators approved a new permit for drilling in shallow water.
The Minerals Management Service, which oversees offshore drilling, says in an e-mail from its Gulf Coast office that "until further notice" no new drilling is being allowed in the Gulf, "no matter the water depth." A copy of the e-mail was obtained by The Associated Press.
The announcement comes a day after the MMS granted a new drilling permit for a site about 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, 115 feet below the ocean surface. Environmental groups said the administration was misleading the public by allowing work to resume in waters up to 500 feet deep while maintaining a moratorium on deepwater drilling.
This blocks a ton of drilling permits that were in process (though it doesn't reverse yesterday's permit as far as I know).
The problem is this: Obama should have stopped this oil spill before it happened. His tepid support for small amounts of drilling essentially caused this accident, prolonged it, and killed birds.
We need to stop defending this man and start figuring out how to come up with new and creative ways to attack him. Because there is money to be raised from dupes on the internet who get angry really easily and then open their check books!
