Yes, as he continues to hold up drilling permits for U.S. oil companies in the Gulf.
(Reuters) — The U.S. Interior Department said on Thursday it gave final approval for Petrobras to use the first ever deepwater floating production storage facility in the Gulf of Mexico.
The facility will be used when the company begins oil and natural gas production at its Chinook-Cascade project in the near future, the department said. Petrobras is based in Brazil.
A Petrobras official who asked not to be identified told Reuters that production would begin in May.
The floating facility has a daily production capacity of 80,000 barrels of oil and 16 million cubic feet of gas. It can be disconnected and moved out of the path of a storm, unlike permanently moored production platforms, preventing long-term supply disruptions because of storms.
“These regulatory approvals pave the way for safe, new production of oil and gas resources in the Gulf of Mexico,” said Michael Bromwich, who heads the department’s agency that oversees offshore drilling.
Such vessels are common for offshore production in other countries without seabed pipelines to transport oil and gas to shore, such as West Africa and Brazil. Petrobras has a fleet of them off Brazil’s shores, and Exxon Mobil Corp uses one of the largest units in the world at one of its fields in offshore Angola.

Timely, considering the First Family’s upcoming holiday to Rio.
There can only be one explanation. For there to be one world government the U.S. must disappear. It’s scary to wath people who voted for this creep to keep defending him when they KNOW he’s trying to destroy this country.
Obama is such a joke and his defenders just look more stupid by the day.
To understand how this can happen, ask yourself what the Nazi government folks said after the defeat of Germany: I was only following orders. Then ask how it is that the US government employees could allow the bastard destroy this nation: I was just following orders.
“For there to be one world government the U.S. must disappear.”
So, 4/19-20/2010 doesn’t look quite so accidental anymore. Too bad the rig ‘sank’ though. All the evidence of what happened is gone.
I suppose the new Soros rig is really one of the old US ones in reality. You watch. The actual location of said rig will be just yards away from where the ‘accident’ occurred.
Getting US oil with US technology for sale to the US....and owned by/profits going to foreign interests.
Happy now, Greenies? Are you finally happy now?
Are you surprised Obozo is well received in Brazil? He is assisting another Commie.....Lula da Silva

Forum of São Paulo (FSP) (started in São Paulo Brazil)
http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/i74htForumSP-Torres.html
“The Forum of Sao Paulo is an organization founded in 1990 by Fidel Castro and Lula da Silva, then president of Brazilian Workers Party (PT), in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, thence its name. The confessed goal of the organ is “to save what had been lost of Communism in Eastern Europe and the old USSR.” The FSP has brought together most of the leading communist and socialist organizations of Latin America, including notorious terrorist groups. At its meetings, it has hosted as guests many observers from European and Asian Communist parties.”
“After his rise to the presidency of Brazil (he is now in his second turn), Lula da Silva gave this organization every possible support. Today, along with Cuba and Brazil, the FSP includes the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. Consequently many international accords have been signed among these countries in order to guarantee future success for Communism and Socialism in Latin America. - ASG”

Clear Enough?.....
From an old post on FR:
U.S. Government to Loan Brazil’s Petrobras $10 Billion (12/25/09)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416153/posts
” The U.S. government is preparing to provide up to $10 billion in loans to finance the development of massive hydrocarbon reserves off Brazil’s coast thought to contain 80 billion barrels of high-quality crude, an amount that could lead to a six-fold increase in Brazil’s current proven reserves and transform that nation into one of the world’s 10 largest oil producers.”

Obozo has destroyed our off-shore drilling and arranged a 10 BILLION DOLLAR loan for an off-shore project in Brazil through the Export/Import Bank.
He destroys our oil business and loans 10 BILLION to another Commie.....
Impeach Obama now and arrest Soros now!

“Torpedo? Scuba diver sabotage?”
How ‘bout those Reds? Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?
greenies don’t even give lip service to the greenness of china. china’s yangtze river would make love canal envious as an open air toxic waste stream.
“I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too… My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody ...I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Obama to Joe the Plumber. Only he is now playing on a much larger field. The guy thinks he’s freakin’ Robin Hood.
Hey Zero, you can give away any store and say Pretty Please all you want, BUT they are NOT going to give up the Olympics for you.
This is treason, pure and simple.
And the money trail won't even be hard to find.
