A senior administration official told The Associated Press that because of the BP oil spill, the Interior Department will not propose any new oil drilling in waters off the East Coast for at least the next seven years.

President Barack Obama's earlier plan — announced in March, three weeks before the April BP spill — would have authorized officials to explore potential for drilling from Delaware to central Florida, plus the northern waters of Alaska. The new plan allows potential drilling in Alaska, but officials said they will move cautiously before approving any leases. frpa

Even the wording of this press release is biased:

"In a reversal, the Obama administration said Wednesday it will not pursue offshore drilling off the East Coast of the U.S. and the eastern Gulf of Mexico."

The correct statement is that the Obama administration said Wednesday that they will block offshore drilling . . .

No no no.

They said it will all be different once they're in power, you know, more transparent, without the political games, for the common man, with no special interests............. lol

Clinton said he would have the most ethical administration ever.

Obama said his would be transparent and without special interests.

It seems whatever they say is always the opposite of what they become.

The secret service would knock down my door in about 2 minutes if I wrote what I’m thinking.

FUBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Multiply that by over 200 million Americans!

Winning an election doesn’t give this pig the right to destroy this country!

Barak Obama is the Enemy of the United States and should be tried for treason!

BS.

Where are the wimpy Gulf State governors??? They should just start drilling and see what happens. State sovereignty?

Why aren’t these governors raising cain?

A good start would be accusing Obama of wanting these states to have high unemployment ON PURPOSE!

You will see environmental groups go around the world to stop non-OPEC energy projects. You will never see them lift one finger to stop an OPEC project.

Only non-OPEC is bad for the environment.

“Environmentalism” is cover for bought-and-sold OPEC lobbyists and flacks. The rank and file may believe what they are told but the leadership serve OPEC.

That would include the mighty “O” himself.
