Drill Maybe Drill!!!

A U.S. District Judge, Martin Feldman in New Orleans overturned the Obama administration's 6 month moratorium on off-shore drilling today. Want to bet that there will be a Louisianna judge being called to Washington for an infamous Chicago style shakedown? Chalk one up for the separation of powers. It is about time someone takes a stand against this pretentious administration. This country needs to remember what our founders intended with respect to states rights and keeping the Federal government in check. We are only a short walk away from tyranny the way things are currently going in America.

I think this is FANTASTIC! I know the oil spill is the worst disaster in recent US history. But did we shut down airlines after 9/11 (beyond a week or so)? Did we stop allowing people to drive when there was a car accident? Do you punish an entire industry for the negligence of one company? No! No! and No! You definitely make that company pay for it (and BP IS PAYING!) but those who have operated safely for decades, and can show how their approach to drilling is much safer than the approach used on Macondo should be able to continue the work to keep our nation more energy independent!

The reason we are drilling 40 miles out and 5,000 down is because the Government pushed us out there. The well that blew was originally supposed to be in 200 feet of water and the government canceled the contract and pushed it further off shore The US government is just as responsible as is BP for signing off on the safety reports..when are the Congressional hearings vs these folks going to be held? Nevertheless, this is a step in the right direction. That moratorium would not only effect the Louisiana economy, but the entire US economy. While I do believe we need to lower our oil consumption needs, I also realize that this can't be done like a flick of a switch; it will have to be a gradual change.

If safety and the health of our planet is what Obama is worried about, then why did he loan Brazil 2 BILLION of AMERICAN taxpayer dollars to drill in excess of 14,000 feet. Why is he ok with drilling in Brazil at significantly greater depths than the Deep Horizon well? What's Obama afraid of? Is he afraid his dear friend Soros and big oil in Brazil won't become billionaires without the ill conceived moratorium on drilling in the US?

And why did the Obama administration feel it necessary to lie about a group of technical experts and FALSELY state that they signed off on the moratorium? Those experts have all refuted the Obama administrations claim and clearly state that a moratorium is NOT a good answer. It appears Obama/Salazar modified reports signed by the technical experts AFTER saying they were not in favor of a moratorium. Those reports were altered by the Obama administration to favor the ban.
