Reuters is reporting that Brazil stands to benefit from the BP oil spill catastrophe as the US moratorium makes more rigs available for other countries.
Even as an ecological catastrophe makes the future of U.S. offshore drilling less certain, Brazil is plowing ahead with a $220 billion five-year plan to tap oil fields even deeper than BPs (BP.L) ill-fated Gulf well, which is still leaking crude.
Its estimated that thirty five rigs are now sitting idle in the Gulf of Mexico. Brazil is already getting inquiries from companies wanting to move their rigs there. Brazils state oil company, Petrobras already produces about a fourth of the worlds deep water oil . . .
Soros Fund Management, LLC holds a stake in Petrobras of approximately $900 million as of December 31, 2009 . . .

The more people realize what a fraud Obama is, even the Court of public opinion is turning against the Expendable Obama

It's one thing to be tolerant, to look the other way- and quite another to be forced to agree to, and even cheerlead for something you don't support.
Marriage and the family are the basic building blocks of society, even predating history- and you want us to agree to standing it on its head.
No sale- and I'll oppose it no matter what you write, or what abominations of law you get corrupt judges to agree to.
Enough is enough with this nonsense.
I'm just an old Cyber Cowboy ( and construction man, and business man, and gun dealer and wrecker driver, and a few other things you could glean if you hunted far enough... ) who followed Terri's case back when nobody cared:

I still stand by what I said, as it was breaking:

And yes, I will remember...
