This thing played right into his hands. Anyone with good sens would start drilling on land, but not the bama boy. He just stops drilling all together.

We have a damned sure idea for what happened to the “Superfund”, but we don't know exactly where it went. Of course the media knows, but they are not going to risk their comfort zone by disclosing anything.

The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF)

History of the Fund

In August 1990, when President George H. W. Bush signed the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) into law and authorized use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF), the Fund was already four years old. Congress created the Fund in 1986, but did not pass legislation to authorize the use of the money or the collection of revenue necessary for its maintenance. It was only after the Exxon Valdez grounding and the passage of OPA that authorization was granted.

The largest source of revenue has been a 5-cent-per-barrel tax, collected from the oil industry on petroleum produced in or imported to the United States. The tax was suspended in July 1993 because the Fund reached its statutory limit. It was reinstated in July 1994, when the balance declined below $1 billion, but expired at the end of 1994 because of the sunset provision in the law. The 2005 Energy Policy Act again reinstated the tax (effective April 2006).

The plan from 1994 was not used as it would interfer with obama’s green agenda. I believe that there needs to be a non-government investigation into the “accident” obama “luck “ with this happening just after he says that we might start drilling again is unusual if not strange. obama “luck” is like a person drawing six aces in a five card stud game. Something smells!!
