"No Offshore Oil Drilling"--Administration up to Something?
Right Side News ^ | Sunday, 28 March 2010 15:34 | Written by Kevin Roeten

Quiet words from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on 3/5, directly indicated a new three-year ban, at least in offshore oil drilling leases. Pure facts dictate this move will kill any American initiative to produce all of its oil independently. More than 2/3 of the American public supports such a move per a Rasmussen poll. It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval

“a good bumper sticker in ‘12 would be “are you as free as you were four years ago?”

I like that idea a lot.

IMO, our territory containing natural resources have been put up as collateral by our government to secure continued debt sales

Wow, that's a scary thought, sounds plausible. If true, I hope this can be exposed by some whistle blower.

Statement: "...It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval..."

Response: Yes, it is known. "The Divine One" and his apostles are imbeciles or traitors. The result is the same-maximum harm to America-whether their moves are intentionally meant to harm or merely negligent.

“It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval”

Perhaps unknown to Rightside news, but most FReepers I believe know damned good and well that Obama’s goals are to sink the good ship “America”. The only superpower that was capable of keeping the World bad guys in check.

We’ve been scuttled by the Leftist terrorists within our own government posing as legitimate Politicians under the Democrat Party umbrella.

This is the road to globalization.

businesses will be very afraid to plan anything more than four years in advance from here on out

After nobama is Cartered in 2012, it’ll be a hundred years before another liberal or african tries to run again for Prez, with any chance of success.

This is nothing new from Ken Salazar. It doesn't matter to him how high the price of gas goes, he doesn't believe in ever drilling for new oil resources:

Not Even At $10 A Gallon?

more obama less freedom

There is no less freedom to drill in those offshore waters as there was under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush.

However, the only way there will be a real push for more offshore drilling in the US is for oil to reach and maintain a price at or above $100.00 a barrel.

Until then, there in not enough money for us to drill for that domestic oil.

Little bammy mis-State of the UNION, Jan 27, 2010

That means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development.

Today, a mere two months later...

"President Bush had two bans rescinded in 2008 in The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) which would have allowed drilling. But Salazar plans to eliminate the entire 2010-2015 Bush lease plan. No alternate plan is on paper yet. Evidently, Obama has no intention of opening up new areas for offshore drilling during his tenure in office. So in realty, huge amounts of assets in domestic energy will be wasted, while billions of additional dollars are spent on foreign oil."

http://www.rightsidenews.com/201003289288/energy-and-environment/qno-offshore-oil-drillingq-administration-up-to-something.html

As per usual, bammy is a proven liar.

Again.

I wonder what we will be hearing two months from now on the Federal Universal Tax called "healthcare reform?"
