"No Offshore Oil Drilling"--Administration up to Something?
Right Side News ^ | Sunday, 28 March 2010 15:34 | Written by Kevin Roeten

Quiet words from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on 3/5, directly indicated a new three-year ban, at least in offshore oil drilling leases. Pure facts dictate this move will kill any American initiative to produce all of its oil independently. More than 2/3 of the American public supports such a move per a Rasmussen poll. It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval

Obozo will not allow the US to drill off-shore, but his man a Export/Import Bank approved 12 billion to finance an off-shore project for his Commie buddy in Brazil.

He is intentionally destroying the US.

IMO, our territory containing natural resources have been put up as collateral by our government to secure continued debt sales. It’s the only logical explanation about why this government just refuses to utilize our own resources.

What do you think is securing our debts... empty promises?

It's been 3 years since the Democrats said it would take 10 years to develop those fields anyway... Imagine we could have new production in 7 years if only they hadn't stopped us then!

Obama: “Under my plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket.”

No new jobs.

More new taxes.

No new Drilling.

This Administration is completely against what the majority wants.

They are worthless, but they are in charge.

So very sad.

It’s obvious to me - the Obama Administration wants to destroy this country as fast and completely as possible!

This is how I read your post:
hmmmm....a good bumper sticker in ‘12 would be “are you as free as you were four years hours ago?"
Perhaps my version works as well.

Obama wants to support his muslim buddies by stopping oil production in America.

I say not allowing America to produce our own oil supports terrorists. So which side of the war on terror is Obama on? I think we know that answer. Not America’s side.

The real long-term damage here is that even AFTER these bums are on each others’ rubber-chicken circuits, businesses will be very afraid to plan anything more than four years in advance from here on out - and many large companies think 5, 10,20 years out.

Maybe because he’s an America hating communist?

This Offshore Drilling Ban has been in place for 29 years and has been renewed every year except once.

I agree, but I don’t think this is the full story. There is something missing.
