WASHINGTON — In a major reversal, the Obama administration said Tuesday it will bar oil drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, a move cheered by environmentalists and consistent with the president’s aggressive steps to combat climate change.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said the decision “protects the Atlantic for future generations.” Officials listened to thousands of people in coastal communities from Florida to New England who said, “Now is not the time to start leasing (for oil) off the Atlantic Coast,” Jewell said.
Hopefully these things done unilaterally by the Administration can be undone just as easily.
If this was so important, why did he wait so long to do it? /sarc
He enjoys building suspense. He wants his oh-so-predictable decisions to seem thoughtful and measured.
I wonder how much he was paid by the Saudis?
His entire "Legacy" will be reduced to footnotes indicating ("a prior program/restriction/etc.)!
Yes, a legacy of divisiveness, poverty and downward mobility.
And a rather flaccid legacy it is.
I guess that leaves allows his friends the Cubans to gain the revenue at least down thataway.
FUBO.
This swooning reporter sure polishes Bath House's knob in this puff piece.
Patriots, please bear in mind that, with respect to issues like Atlantic drilling, the president has the constitutional authority only to either sign or veto a bill from Congress. The Constitution doesn’t let the president, the executive branch for that matter, act unilaterally from Congress no matter what the corrupt media wants everybody to think about the president’s powers.
In other words, corrupt Congress is wrongly letting Obama get away with doing a bunch of things. Corrupt lawmakers are essentially letting Obama do their dirty legislative work for them imo, likely so that they can keep their voting records clean. And by keeping their voting records clean, lawmaker can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
That rat bastid ain’t giving up nothing. Next Sexetary General of the United Nations. Betcha. The one place I can think of where he can continue destroying our beautiful America.
