Barry Obama is just a thumb-sucking bystander, right NYT?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The story fails to mention that today there are 572 more rigs drilling for oil and gas in the United States than there were one year ago.
The NYT gets it wrong again.
More info here.
You need oil rigs to drill dumb*sses from the NYTs!

Oil jobs start moving overseas
06/28/10
Thanks to President Obama and the soon-to-be-reimposed drilling moratorium, our loss is becoming West Africa’s gain.
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–Executives from oil and gas companies on Monday concluded an hour-long meeting with U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar without securing promises from the government to lift a deepwater-drilling moratorium imposed after a disastrous BP PLC (BP) oil spill…
“Numerous operators told Secretary Salazar that they were in the final stages of moving rigs, deepwater rigs out of the Gulf of Mexico and to West Africa and the Middle East,” according to a person familiar with the matter. “We were frankly disappointed at the lack of serious attention that was paid by the Department of the Interior on the horrible economic impact that the Department of Interior’s policies are having on the industry and on communities along the Gulf Coast.”

President Obama is expected to outline his plan for energy security in a speech this week
Obama to turn attention to energy issues – barring disaster
Los Angeles Times - Michael A. Memoli - 1 hour ago
He said the decision was “part of a broader strategy”
After a speech meant to bring clarity to U.S. engagement in crises abroad, President Obama will turn his attention to what aides say will be a sustained focused on energy issues in the coming weeks.
On Wednesday, Obama will outline his plan for America’s energy security in a speech at Georgetown University in Washington. It will be followed with a visit Friday to a UPS facility in nearby Landover, Md., in which Obama will inspect energy-efficient vehicles operated by major businesses like AT&T, FedEx and PepsiCo.
Earlier in March, Obama called a news conference to address the rising cost of gasoline and called for “a comprehensive energy strategy that pursues both more energy production and more energy conservation.”
“For two years, the administration has canceled dozens of oil and gas leases all across America. It’s raised permit fees. It’s shut down deep-water drilling in the Gulf. It won’t even allow a conversation about exploring for oil in a remote, 2,000-acre piece of land in northern Alaska that experts think represents one of our best opportunities for a major oil find,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday. “In the midst of average gas prices approaching $4 a gallon and a chronic jobs crisis, the White House plans to make the climate for job growth worse.”
