Interviews with Leader Boehner & Carol Browner
By Meet the Press

MR. GREGORY: You talk about all the work here being done for safety. Did the White House do any economic analysis about what a moratorium--what impact it would have on jobs in the Gulf Coast?

MS. BROWNER: There is, there is an economic analysis being done. It'll be ready later...

MR. GREGORY: But it was never done before the moratorium was put in place? Because those who are down there say, "You know what, the moratorium by the Obama administration is far worse than the spill itself."

Of course they didn’t.

When you appoint men like Van Jones, things like “economic impact” just don’t matter.

MR. GREGORY: I understand the arguments. The president drew a line in the sand there. Is he conceding defeat on this?

MS. BROWNER: Not yet. The Congress is coming back. We will continue to see if we can get legislation. We passed it in the House. We’ll continue to work in the Senate.

MR. GREGORY: Lame duck session, they could do it potentially there.

MS. BROWNER: Potentially.

Of course the economic analysis was done.

Using the following criteria:

1. Will it hurt America
a. Yes, move forward with immediate action.
b. No, find new ideas that satisfy criteria #1.
