BREAKING NEWS: Obama administration says it will cancel 77 drilling leases near Utah parks
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Yet they are paying people to buy cars with the stimulus package.
Surely heads will explode in Washington with the non stop inconsistencies being spewed.
I can’t drink anymore.
If I put alcohol on top of how weird I’m already feeling when I hear the news everyday(did someone put LSD in my coffee?)little telling what might happen!
Can he do this in Alaska?
I’m not gonna lie it would be pretty funny to see him try.
My hubby and I have that on our cars. I haven’t been keyed on my SUV yet. (libs are too stupid)

“Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is canceling oil and gas leases on 77 parcels of federal land in Utah, according to sources familiar with the decision, ending a fierce battle over whether to allow energy exploration in the environmentally sensitive area.
The Bush administration conducted the lease sale in December, but environmental groups went to court to block the winning bids encompassing roughly 110,000 acres near pristine areas such as Nine Mile Canyon, Arches National Park and Dinosaur National Monument.
Just before Bush left office last month, U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina issued a restraining order on the lease sales, postponing the final transactions until he could hear arguments on the merits of the case.”
There will be lawsuits!
Hey, remember this is another payoff to his middle east donors. He owes them this much. Shutting off domestic development puts more money in their pockets and in Hussein’s election chest.
That was my FIRST thought -
this is another example of a democrat punishing a conservative state... well, specifically Utah.
Clinton placed the coal off limits so his buddy Rhiadi could make a fortune.
Drill baby drill ping.
And this is payback for the “red red state” who no doubt contributed greatly to 0’s campaign. He’s just working as fast as he can to make sure these folks are happy.
Hmm lets see in the first two weeks:
- Let my people go! (Gitmo)
- First interview with Arab TV.
- Trying to spend OUR money faster than a drunken sailor (my apologies to drunken sailors)
- Three Tax cheats
- Limit CEO salaries to 500K (In a move to attract some hot new talent to the financial industries)
Thanks for posting that info.
0 is a terrorist on a jihad against Americans. He will harm us far worse than demons in planes ever could.
How many jobs lost?
In certain areas people have modified diesel engines to switch over to operating on pure used vegetable oil.
There’s always a way around government mandates.
Just another reason states are considering ‘mileage taxes’ instead of ‘tax per gallons’?
The most creative ideas come from ‘black markets’!!!
Time to force this commie bastard OUT.
LONG past the time.
hmmmmm....
“When gas goes back to $4.00 a gallon, are the ones that put him in office going to blame Bush?”
We could come up with our own slogans for bumpstickers....when Bush left office gas was $__”
How stupid, the govm’t could hold out for a larger royalty, or contract the drilling and operation and get a lot more $$$ for the taxpayer. ( Bet the Chinese would be glad to do it.) ( Cheap, cheap, laundry included.)
Obama must love buying middle-eastern oil.
What a JACKASS!!!
