If you went by MSM coverage you’d never in a million years know it…
Raleigh, N.C. – While support for oil exploration off the coasts of various states sharply decreased in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, support in Louisiana remained very high, measuring at 77% support, to only 12% opposition, in PPP’s last poll of the state in June. While support has nearly returned to previous levels elsewhere, support in Louisiana has, if it were possible, also increased, to 81%, with only 9% not in favor. By a 32-21 margin, voters say the spill has actually made them more supportive of drilling off the state’s coastline than less supportive, with 48% saying it has made no difference on their opinion. In June, the “less supportive” group edged “more supportive,” 31-28.
Louisianans’ severe disapproval of Obama overall, 35-61, mirrors their disdain for his efforts in the cleanup, 32-61. George W. Bush’s handling of Hurricane Katrina, by contrast, is viewed barely negatively, 44-47; the response in June, 34-58, was more in line with Obama’s, 32-62. A full 54% now think Bush did a better job dealing with crisis than Obama, who gets the vote of only 33%.

About as sensible as anything else coming from the irrational liberal age we're living in.
They wanted to humiliate Dubya for the anniversary of the event. They get humiliated instead.
Thanks! Those are some scary numbers. 70% of blacks disapprove of Jindal? The 18-29 group is SPLIT on Obama approval. Some things never cease to live down to expectations.
"As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the offshore drilling moratorium, we are actively seeking international opportunities to keep our rigs fully employed," Dickerson said. "We greatly regret the loss of U.S. jobs that will result from this rig relocation."
Idled Gulf Rigs Head For Africa
It is not just Gulf operations that are being effected either.
Wait and see for Shell {Shell puts Arctic drilling plans on hold, waiting on feds}
Let's not leave the refineries out.
EPA gives final "no" to Texas refinery permits
Then there are the land-based oil leases.
Judge Grills Feds on Pulling Drilling Leases"A federal judge on Wednesday questioned Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's justification for canceling 77 drilling leases sold by the Bush administration around national parks in Utah."
U.S. Saw Drill Ban Killing Many Jobs [ie. Obama KNEW he was destroying jobs, kept it secret]
Actually if 30% of the black voters doesn’t disapprove of a Republican governor, that’s a great sign.
Nagin and Blanco should have been charged with manslaughter!
Wow, this was a poll of Los Angeles.
That’s a cynical comment, but alas probably true as well. When does the assimilation finally occur?
Well ain’t that the sheets!? lol
Hahaha!
Ditto.
Soooo, how’s Obama’s Hope and Change Thing coming along in Haiti? I think it is amazing how the MSM has just forgotten how savior Obama was going to rescue Haiti. A comparison of Haiti to Katrina seems more equitable.
That’s because the ‘Bush screwed up at Katrina’ narrative was a total national media myth, and the state of Louisiana never bought this line of thought. They booted Blanco and put a Republican in office in the next election. The citizens of that great state knew it was a tremendous force of nature that caused Katrina and that their local leaders were the ones that screwed up the response.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or of the ping list
Yep. Thanks for that.
