Humor:

If it was Clinton, he'd always approve of offshore drilling so long as she was good looking and of loose moral fiber...

Problem is if it's good...the oil won't be available for at least 2, up to 5 years.

So what's a 10 month moratorium/permit withhold?

Somebody in the the WH must have said: "Lord B...with all that fire in the middle east...maybe we ought to start looking for some of that nasty black stuff here in our neighborhood until we can get everybody to buy a Volt!?!!?"

The court ordered this. But I’d betcha anything it’s not going to happen.

Obama wants to see us go down in flames...and if he can’t achieve that, he wants to see us grind to a halt. Preventing drilling is a big part of this, and his administration is just saying they will drill in hopes that the court will back off. But he’s still not going to do it.

It isn’t going to happen. It’s another lie by the Liar in Chief.

That is NOT correct.. he issued ONE permit to drill anything by anybody for anything.. in the entire United States and its territory's..

NO gas, oil, oil sands, shale oil, on or off shore especially on the east coast of the U.S.. where there is much oil.. Bakken project in the Dakotas, Alaska, the Gulf, deep drilling in areas where only the shallow oil has be recovered.. but deeper oil has been found..

The Obamaoids have hamstrung U.S. domestic oil/gas recovery.. ON PURPOSE..
On purpose... with not a word criticism by republicans..
This is fully a treasonous gambit with Cloward-Piven overtones..

Bakken project in the Dakotas

Mostly privately held mineral rights. Obama only has say over the Federal Land. We're drilling the bejeebers out of the Bakken and Three Forks up here. (rig count over 160 in ND alone)

FUBO! We're gettin' 'er done!
