As Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a crisis. And that is now playing out with the oil spill in the Gulf Coast.

In what is the first political TV advertisement to highlight the oil spill in the Gulf Coast region -- and apparently the first explicit politicization of the accident -- MoveOn.org has a new TV urging President Obama to reinstate the ban on offshore drilling.

This was probably already in the can. The tree-huggers have gone from NIMBY to BANANA.

LOL, oh yes, lets ban offshore drilling and coal mining and then on shore drilling. We can all drive electric cars after all...LOL!!!!!

I wonder how much the Saudis are paying these people to lock up American resources from use?

[a fool in paradise]

Does this mean that George Soros will pull out of offshore drilling investments near Brazil?

Thought so.

What’s wrong? Is Soros afraid of the competition? Didn’t Obama already pay him off with those Brazilian deals?
