WASHINGTON In a clear signal that the Obama administration is shifting the governments approach to energy exploration on public lands, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Wednesday canceled oil and gas leases on 77 parcels of federal land that opponents said would blight Utahs scenic southeastern corner.
Salazars decision which reverses the Bush administrations December move to allow drilling on about 130,000 acres near pristine areas such as Nine Mile Canyon, Arches National Park and Dinosaur National Monument is one of a series of steps that the administration and congressional Democrats are planning to take to reshape federal regulation of drilling, mining, lumbering and other resource tapping activities, both on American soil and offshore.

As California is crumbling under EPA weight and Illinois under leviathan Union weight - the clueless Obama folks forge ahead with energy prevention not wanting to p.o. the Greens aka EPA.
Push for Nuclear Power, it's clean and safe.

And what do your oil-industry-Freepers think about this particular land?
Was it promising?
Was it going to be profitable?

And if by the miracle of all miracles his BC IS found and released showing THE ONE is ineligible to hold the office of POTUS, he can be removed from office and everything he's done can be reversed or nullified. I know that's dreaming while on major drugs but stranger things have happened. Maybe this can join that list.

"...allow drilling on about 130,000 acres near pristine areas..."Near, not in, pristine areas. I'm looking for some GPS coords of the parcels to see where they actually are, but I'm betting that they are nowhere near any arches or other sensitive sites.

More jobs lost. Yep.
Don't forget their motto: "Don't let a good crisis go to waste."
He will destroy everything the left hates in the name of fighting the nasty republican Big Business interests that live just to rape Gaia, plunder the planet, steal from minorities, refuse health care to blacks, murder innocent muslims and wreck the economy.
I can already hear his campaign rhetoric in 2012 -
"Four more years for Obama so he can finish bringing Hope and Change."

Given that Utah is one of the most Republican states in the Union, its a small miracle the state itself wasn’t canceled.

How you like this change, oil and gas workers? It’s called unemployment. All thanks to your loving Democratic Party...

and alternative energy research!

He's gonna change it; and rearrange it.
He's gonna change the world.

More jobs lost, more money for his fellow left wing anti-Americans and a loss to the American people of their freedom and their Nation as we are pushed back to a third world nation taken over by the anti-american left wing scum.
