Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

With three shuttered oil rigs preparing to leave the Gulf of Mexico for foreign waters, Gov. Bobby Jindal ratcheted up the rhetoric Thursday against the Obama administration's moratorium on deepwater drilling, saying the White House still doesn't understand the economic pain the forced stoppage is causing Louisiana workers.
Jindal said he had a conference call with President Barack Obama's senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, and appealed to her to shorten the six-month moratorium, arguing that a half-year pause would force oil companies to move drilling operations overseas for years and that the federal government could easily impose new safety standards and monitoring in a shorter time frame.
"She asked again why the rigs simply wouldn't come back after six months," Jindal said. "What worries me is I fear they think these rigs can just flip a switch on and off."
Jindal, who addressed hundreds of angry shipyard workers at a slip in Port Fourchon, said Obama needs to listen to the majority of a panel of experts, who advised the Interior Department on drilling safety and recently said they were not in favor of a six-month "blanket moratorium."

Pelican State ping
Obama doesn’t get [X] is a recurring theme...
0bama gets it alright, he just doesn’t care.
He certainly does get it.
He is happy for the economic collapse of the area.
He’s pleasing the enviro-wackos.
That is because zero is an economic whiz (sarc)
He proves it time and again.
As a rule, I don’t pass along these “add your name” lists that appear in emails, BUT this one is important. It has been circulating for months and has been sent to over 25 million people. We don’t want to lose any names on the list so just hit forward and send it on.
Please keep it going!
To show your support for President Obama please go to the end of the list and add your name.
1. Michele Obama.
This moron doesn’t “get” zippers or even Velcro.
Jindall should defy Federal Agencies to protect his state, instead of whining about it, having a show down with Obama over this would cement a position in 2012 for him.
He gets it. Distroying America has been his plan all along.
I even saw Jindal being praised on DU the other day! Pigs were flying!
Lets face it, BamBam is way in over his head. Ain’t got a clue, lost as a goose in a hen patch.
He'll drive their economy into the ground, and then blame it on Bush. He's going to take credit for any perceived benefit of whatever he does, but he'll never accept any responsibility for the downside.
As far as he's concerned, he's been handed a blank check signed by GW Bush, and he can write it for however much he wants.
Oh, he “get’s it” all right, Bobby. You’re just making the all-too-common mistake of believing Hussein is pro-America!!
They’re just going to push drilling to place with more lax environmental safety records ... mostly poor places where the brown people live.
I guess our pelicans are more precious than theirs.
Good job Mr President.
Easier said than done.
Where/how would Jindal obtain engineers, heavy machinery and the money in order to defy the Federal Government?
How many contractors/sub-contractors would risk fines and/or jail without obtaining prior federal approval?
How do the contractors/sub-contractors ensure that they will be paid without assurances & approval from the federal government?
Cloward Piven and the transformation of America marches on.
And they say Obama ‘doesnt’ get it’...
