Washington - The deepwater drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico has not increased unemployment in the region, says a new report from the Obama administration that counters the dire predictions of oil industry officials and Gulf Coast residents. The report, being released at a Senate hearing Thursday, said the moratorium imposed after the BP oil spill might have temporarily cost 8,000 to 12,000 jobs on oil rigs and elsewhere.

I know people are pretty gullible, but come on!

The targets for this BS are the very people who elected Obarry in the first place.
Gullible? YOU BET!

My wife’s uncle was a crane operator on a rig that was within sight of the Deepwater Horizon rig. His rig was shut down and has already been moved to Africa. Everyone on his rig that was unwilling/unable to work in Africa lost their jobs.

This is sent out to all the people who were stupid enough to believe in Hopey-Changie in the first place.

If they believed in Obama enough to vote for him they will believe in this kind of idiotic propaganda.

Yesterday I rode a crewboat back to shore that was carrying the entire crew of a drilling rig that had been idled by the moratorium. Almost all of the crew will lose their jobs. It was not a happy ride.

This idiot-ridden administration has fudged and manipulated so many government reports and lied so much, that even if this was close to being accurate, they are lying, period. Again, if the AnnointedIdiot’s lips are moving, or anyone in his administration, is moving their lips, they are all lying, period! =.=
