Obama Kills Atlantic Offshore Drilling For Five Years
Big Government ^ | March 30, 2012 | John Sexton

Posted on 03/30/2012 1:27:16 PM PDT by trappedincanuckistan

Yesterday the Obama administration announced a delaying tactic which will put off the possibility of new offshore oil drilling on the Atlantic coast for at least five years:

The announcement by the Interior Department sets into motion what will be at least a five year environmental survey to determine whether and where oil production might occur.

What Obama has done, can be undone...

....if the next president and Congress has the will to do so.

That’s really going to be “the question” that — at least for now — has yet to be determined....

Drilling our own oil wont affect the price.

Sending a Jew (Chuckie) to beg the Saudis will though.

Win the Future.

Apparently Obama is planning to approve windmills in the Great Lakes. Also, does anyone have information on the attitude of the Virginia Republican administration to the off shore oil drilling idea, and how they feel it might affect their beautiful beaches?

Why? All they need to do is figure out how to collect all the spewage coming out of our windbag leader. We could power the entire Earth and beyond!

“When Romney is sworn in”

I see what you did there. Sneak it in thinking no one will notice. I and everyone I personally know will NOT be voting for him. So good luck with that.

“When Romney is sworn in we need to keep his feet to the fire to reverse acts like this.”

I do not believe Romney will be sworn in; but, if he was sworn in, would he be sworn in on the Book of Mormon, since the Mormon church teaches that the Bible has been corrupted and does not contain the fullness of the gospel?

While everyone except environmentalists are all for drilling offshore in Virginia, Obama continues to be the brick wall he has always intended to be when it comes to our nation being energy self-sufficient (windmills that kill birds and solar companies that go bankrupt excepted). Even democrats have attempted to free-up offshore drilling in Virgina, as noted below:

Virginia lawmakers push for offshore drilling

Snip: Republican congressman Scott Rigell of Virginia Beach intends to introduce legislation that would force the Department of the Interior to sell leases to companies interested in drilling off the coast of Virginia, at least 50 miles out. Both of Virginia’s senators, Democrats Jim Webb and Mark Warner, had introduced a similar bill last year, but it remains mired in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Gas around here is over $4.00 a gallon. Guess who’s not carrying this State in November?

This is Standard Operation Procedure for the left: Just delay anything it finds disagreeable, ad infinitum; all under the rubric of "studying" the matter, ever so carefully...

Mr. Obama is doing everything he can as a foreign agent to wreck America. To me he is treasonous and he should be removed from office by impeachment.
