No rigs blew up during 16 years of Clinton and Bush. 2 with Obama in the last 3 months? BS.

You have to love the Coasties. They fly towards burning oil rigs and head out to sea in Hurricanes. I hope they get the crew off and get the fires out.
We can argue about the political crap once everyone is safe.

Just in time for Reid and Pelosi to cram-through a lame-duck “renewable energy” bill.

80 miles offshore is what depth? Sounds like it’s located in every bit as deep water as the April ‘site?

Interesting. Just yesterday the judge ruled against the drilling ban for the second time.

Amen. And you are right about the brownwater navy. The Coast Guard is the most excellent group of professionals anywhere in the U.S. government.
