Bill Clinton: Drilling delays 'ridiculous' By: Darren Goode March 11, 2011 04:55 PM EST
Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that delays in offshore oil and gas drilling permits are “ridiculous” at a time when the economy is still rebuilding, according to attendees at the IHS CERAWeek conference.
Clinton spoke on a panel with former President George W. Bush that was closed to the media. Video of their moderated talk with IHS CERA Chairman Daniel Yergin was also prohibited.
But according to multiple people in the room, Clinton, surprisingly, agreed with Bush on many oil and gas issues, including criticism of delays in permitting offshore since last year’s Gulf of Mexico spill.
“Bush said all the things you’d expect him to say” on oil and gas issues, said Jim Noe, senior vice president at Hercules Offshore and executive director of the pro-drilling Shallow Water Energy Security Coalition. But Clinton added, “You’d be surprised to know that I agree with all that,” according to Noe and others in the room.
Clinton said there are “ridiculous delays in permitting when our economy doesn’t need it,” according to Noe and others.
“That was the most surprising thing they said,” Noe said.
The two former presidents both generally agreed on the need to get offshore drilling workers back on the job.

That Bubba is in favor of “drilling” is old news.
But ... but ... but Obam told us himself this afternoon that he wasn’t responsible for limiting drilling in the US!
Is this Good Cop Bad Cop. Every headline I have read today is just blowing my mind.
Hillary saying the US was using assets to send coolant to Japan—now I see a possible radiation link and that the US did not send any coolant- I feel like I am going mad
Bubba, Mrs. Bubba, both get it. Would that Hillary was Prez rather than Obama-—I know she would do a better job—I know Juan McCain would do a better Job! EVEN Mitt Romney! or Huckabee! the only person who could be worse might be Charlie Sheen and if he sobers up he might match him up.
I’m starting to wonder whether Hillary has the energy and the desire for another run.

This is the first sign I have seen that would lead me to believe that Hillary might run.
Barry is going to be crucified over his oil policies.
CORRECTION: Pimping the prime for Hillary!
Slick Willy may be a corrupt sleezebag but he still has some loyalty to this country and its people.
Obama the Kenyan would love to see us starve and freeze to death.
“I’m starting to wonder whether Hillary has the energy and the desire for another run.”
She has made for a piss poor Secretary of State let alone the Presidency. Probably one step above Obama though. However that is not saying much.
Bill Clinton is a liar. He banned drilling himself.
“Obama the Kenyan would love to see us starve and freeze to death.”
What else could one expect from a muslim homosexual?
and she looks like a hag
He also put the Grand Staircase/Escalante coal deposits off limits, "permanently."
I think so too, and have since she accepted SOS position. Why elso be Obama's lapdog if it won't benefit her in the end?
She can step down over "profound disagreements on foreign policy", and also hammer Obama over the economy, oil drilling, his choice of advisors, and his 'apology tour'.
All without seriously alienating her Lefty supporters.
Remember that Bubba upped the Federal Tax on fuel by about 10 cents a gallon AND HE RAISED TAXES.
It would be wonderful to see the Baraqqis have to spend a bunch of their campaign money on the primaries.
It would also keep most Dems from crossing over in open primary states and voting for Romney.
If she plans a run, she had better lose weight. Her face looks like it has been pumped full of water.
