The Obama administration will use a legal strategy crafted by environmental activists to remove sections of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans from future offshore drilling lease sales, according to two sources familiar with the plan told Bloomberg.

For months, environmentalists have been urging President Barack Obama to use Section 12(a) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, a 1953 law governing offshore drilling, in a way it’s never been used before — to block offshore drilling leases in the Atlantic Ocean and the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.

Obama Will Permanently Block Arctic Drilling Before Trump Takes Office

Watching Obama being erased is going to become my favorite pastime. Nothing will please me more.

They are all like " Baghdad Bob" just spinning, lying, and dreaming in an alternate reality as American tanks and troops were rolling into Baghdad. Anything that a President can do under executive authority another President can undo under executive authority. Trump isn't here to play nice and get along with the establishment and the deep state, he is the bull in the china show that knows what and who he wants to break.

[ExSoldier]

And Trump can undo it the same way.

Exactly!

[jsanders2001]

I’m sure Obama is just protecting the Arctic wildnerness and that it has nothing to do with selling select drilling permits or carbon credits to the highest bidders.../s

[metmom]

No such thing as *permanently*.

ANYTHING can be undone somehow.

“.... in a way it’s never been used before ....”

******************************************************

Typical Obama .... might also lead to the way to undo what he tries to do ... in a way it’s never been used before.

Any Trump judge can over turn this. In fact, Congress themselves can modify a 1953 law to allow drilling in the Artic. Only a quitter would except Obama’s unconstitutional scamming. President Trump is no quitter.

The marxist Muslim is done. Everything he did will be negated and reversed by President Trump.

How sweet it is.

[CMB_polarization]

Obama needs to call a moving company and start packing. He can keep the silverware, just leave ASAP.

[Logical me]

Permanently? Ars, Trump will cancel this crap from the King, King Obama the communists black Muslim terrorists.

[I want the USA back]

What is done can be undone.

This article is journalistic comfort food for Liberals. The pablum will soon be finished and there is no more left in the cupboard.

[Vaduz]

Strategy is something he never mastered stumbling is more his act.

[KansasGirl]

Congress should just pass a law permanently opening it.

[ari-freedom]

permanently...until Jan 20

[MotorCityBuck]

Without bothering to read it......
Yea Right.

[KansasGirl]

Right, if Obama can do it with his signature, then Trump can undo it with his.

[Kickass Conservative]

Meanwhile the Russians will continue to drill in the Arctic without a care in the world.

[M Kehoe]

These environment Nazis are delusional.

If it doesn’t go through Congress then it’s not permanent. Strokes of the pen can be whited out.

JFK is the President who led men to the moon. Obama is the President who led men into women's bathrooms.

Everything Obama broke can be fixed--some more easily than others--but all can be fixed.

We need a new name for him to be passed down.
I'll start: Bathroom Barry.
