A federal appeals court said Wednesday it will not reconsider its September decision overturning a lower court's order to block the Obama administration’s fracking rule.

The Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said it was not interested in rehearing arguments to block the Bureau of Land Management's regulations on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. In September, it said that the case was moot since the Trump administration's Interior Department is moving to repeal the regulation on oil and natural gas drilling on federal lands.

Headline and first sentence contradict each other. First sentence seems to say
1. Obama rule in place
2. Lower court throws it out.
3. Higher court nullifies lower court, keeping the rule in place.
4. Higher court refuses to change their mind because Trump is gonna throw the Obama rule out anyway.

That sentence is incomprehensible; too many negatives. It should read something along the lines of "Fracking approved" or anything else that's readable.
When will journalists start learning the English language?

Was wondering if you know if that pic of Obama is real? It sure look like it is!

You have to understand. It was easy to be a "journalist" under the Obama administration. All a person had to do was just transcribe what was given to them via FAX from the White Hut. Now, they're struggling having to actually compose sentences.

Every fracking Obama rule should be overturned.

It’s photoshopped. Very cleverly done.

Replacing the “a” with a “u!”

[stormhill]

You're absolutely right. That explains why they would use verbatim, the exact phrase to carry the day's talking point each one intoning it as if they just suddenly thought of it.
This precedes Obama but you'll recall the day when everyone on TV and his mother described Algore as having "gravitas" simultaneously.

Terribly written headline. I would expect this from the compost but W.E. I read the headline & thought the opposite of what the story said.

[sparklite2]

This is only too real.

“Stompy foot.” The asshat is trying to copy John Cleese’s “Ministry of Silly Walks” skit from the old Monty Python days. No one saw anything funny in his, Obummer, being stupid.

[BatGuano]

OK, there was a door involved. Makes the move even more stupid.

Yay!

I remember.

I thought that was Dick Cheney that brought "gravitas" to the W campaign, way back when.

The Obama-Kicking-Door video has been largely debunked, but it’s significant that the question even has to be asked about the incompetent, petulant little bitch.
