WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is blocking all new offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, a day after regulators approved a new permit for drilling in shallow water.

An e-mail Thursday from the Gulf Coast office of the Minerals Management Service says that "until further notice" no new drilling is being allowed in the Gulf, no matter the water depth. A copy of the e-mail was obtained by The Associated Press.

Obama thinks he is King of the world but I do not know the answer to your question.

Tree huggers are mad at Obama too.

Environmental groups accused the administration of misleading the public by allowing work to resume in waters up to 500 feet deep while maintaining a moratorium on deepwater drilling.

It is almost like a carefully crafted plan to bring America and her citizens to their knees.

Remember the NWO folks will try one world currency and globalization of all the world’s governments again at their up and coming meeting. (Fake global warming as a scare tactic failed) They will bring the world economically to their knees so we have no other choice.

Good! I’m glad the Chosen One has done this. I want to live off the land,scrounging for roots and berries. I want to ride my bike (motorless) to work. I want to bond with women who don’t shave their legs and armpits. Wait......what the heck am I saying? /sar

I guess the movie star “expert” didn’t work out.

Now they put some other “experts” in charge:

One gets the impression with the Obama administration that statements are made and are typically meaningless or opposite of the administration’s actions.

Legal action is taken to stop real legal discovery. Theatrics take place to chastise GS when this admin is French Kissing them openly. Big pharma is in bed with them.

And BP totally owns Obama and the Democrats.

Sock puppetry at it’s most very useful.

Just when gas prices were going down.

Why don’t they open up some areas on LAND to drill if they’re so concerned about drilling in water?

This is like manna from heaven to Obama. He will force higher prices, more dependency on hostile foreign governments, more unemployment and dependency on government programs, more attacks on free enterprise, a new push on carbon taxes and all while convincing people that he is protecting and helping them.

My scenario is that Bam-Bam overreached when he said to begin offshore drilling. NWO said “No.”.

In order that he could change the order without appearing to change his mind arbitrarily, they’re using this spill as an excuse.

Watch out if he incites riot and then clamps down on freedom with martial law.

Because it may harm a turtle or a snake or a rock or tree.

Democratic Liberal communists’ got out of line when God was handing out brains and went straight to hell and were told by the devil himself to trash all human life and put even reptiles/Pelosi Mice over them in defiance of God.

Right hand, meet Left. Have they any idea how asinine they are/appear?

I do, however, think all prospective drilling should be done only after an review by an independent, technically competent review team. That pretty much leaves out most of government...and industry executives. And all existing wells should be reviewed as well. How many others have potential issues? Granted, though, we can’t check up on any rigs operated outside of our waters...this would be an ideal situation for an international agreement but we have a corrupt and totally dysfunctional U.N. Add to that, a Chinese government that no one wants to stand up to or piss off and you can see, we are pretty much screwed. THe people affected didn’t deserve this...but my heart is really breaking for the loss of animal and sea life. Tragic just doesn’t quite measure up. I hope I can help in some small way. So utterly sad.
