I’d like to know what law allows Obama to shut down oil drilling?
There is something very strange going on with this whole oil spill fiasco. I was watching an Oil Spill hearing on Cspan in the middle of the night and nobody can figure out who is in charge or why nothing is happening on the ground that will actually help mitigate the disaster.
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser gave testimony of the wierd ‘clean up’ crews stomping on all of the pelican nests and throwing the eggs from the nests at each other. They were also seen futilely wiping individual blades of grass. CNN reported last night on Anderson Cooper’s show that the National Guard is ‘guarding’ the bird clean-up stations and keeping the news crews from photographing any birds. Other reports of the National Guard troops being sent ‘door to door’ to ‘assist’ people in filing claims against BP(instead of working to mitigate the spill). No one can figure out where these strange ‘clean up’ crews are coming from. Other reports of skimmers sitting docked and idle. It truly is unsettling when you piece all of these reports together.
Something very malevolent is stemming from this White House and administration. It looks like a wilful dereliction of duty and not just mere incompetence.

Once again, top Zero administration advisers exhibit their vast knowledge of economics and how supply and demand works.../S

Actually - it was at least 17 countries ignored by Pres_ _ent Obama.
Or rather, the chance to grab power means more to him than the Gulf and the national economy.
I agree. We have to stop thinking of him as incomptetent.
IMHO, they are purposely doing nothing, making things worse, thinking they can produce a "Three Mile Island" effect, and make people hate oil so much they will gladly support cap and trade. Got news for you, dude. In 1979 we didn't need nuclear power generating plants, but in 2010 we do need oil.
This is all about, billions in "Crime Inc" coffers, not about preserving the environment or creating jobs or producing energy. This man and his Marxist cronies are evil, through and through.
The Zero gets it.
He just is busy destroying America!!!
Jobs, who needs those stinking oil jobs, anyway?

Governor: National Guard staging for effort to evacuate communities impacted by oil spill
Excerpt:
Currently, our Soldiers and Airmen are staging for and are engaged in the planning of the effort to evacuate and provide security and clean up for the coastal communities expected to be impacted by the oil spill. They are engaged in the protection of vital infrastructure to include medical facilities, fuel distribution, interstate highways, water-ice distribution and power facilities which are all vital to the recovery of coastal Louisiana.
