As oil spewed Friday from a blown out well in the Gulf of Mexico and spread into Louisiana's sensitive wetlands and rich fishing grounds, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration defended a plan to allow new drilling off California's Central Coast.

A spokesman for Schwarzenegger said the proposed Tranquillon Ridge project off Santa Barbara County is attractive because the oil company behind the project has agreed to end drilling off the coast in exchange for a permit to do so for the next 14 years. By contrast, the Obama administration on Friday announced it was putting new federal drilling on hold until the cause of the gulf disaster is determined.

When one of the Cuban offshore rigs has problems oil will spread up the entire east coast and over to Ireland.

Check out the path of the Gulfstream.

I thought so.

I remembered that FINALLY someone was permitted to drill off the coast at Santa Barbara, and someone mentioned that George Soros was involved.

Sure ‘nuff. George Soros has a big piece of the company in question. No wonder Arnie wants to drill, and Obama isn’t objecting.

The rules change when Soros involved and liberals are in charge.

A hidden Soros connection, in case you’re interested.

How many offshore wells are there around the world, and how many have caused a problem. Thousands and very few.

Damned right drill

From # 4, by Cicero:

"I remembered that FINALLY someone was permitted to drill off the coast at Santa Barbara, and someone mentioned that George Soros was involved.

"Sure ‘nuff. George Soros has a big piece of the company in question. No wonder Arnie wants to drill, and Obama isn’t objecting."

"The rules change when Soros (is) involved and liberals are in charge."

[Thanks, Cicero.]
