OMSA Praises Ruling Holding Obama Administration in Contempt for its Moratorium on Gulf Oil Drilling

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Offshore Marine Service Association today praised a federal judge's ruling holding the U.S. Interior Department in civil contempt and called for the Obama Administration to end its de facto moratorium on offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

"The ruling highlights the disparity between President Obama's stated policy objectives -- to grow jobs and promote American energy independence -- and his actions, which instead deliver higher unemployment, higher fuel prices and greater dependency on foreign energy sources. This ruling demonstrates the President is more interested in shutting down our domestic oil and gas production than he is in establishing clear rules to enhance safety and environmental protection. President Obama's policies are destroying American jobs and exporting American technology to countries that value safe offshore energy production," said Jim Adams, president and CEO of the Offshore Marine Service Association (OMSA).

"President Obama claims to have lifted the Gulf moratorium, yet not a single deepwater permit has been issued in nine months. As a result, thousands of workers are out of jobs, Americans are paying more for gasoline and heating oil, and our nation is becoming even more dependent on unstable nations for our energy needs," Adams said.

In other words, Obama is a Freakin' Liar! How could the majority of Americans who voted for him in 2008 be fooled by this Marxist traitor? He should be impeached for treasonous high-crimes and misdemeanors.

Praise the Lord and God of Israel Jesus Christ for real men who are aware of the communist intentions of DC to destroy Amreica’s freedom and properity.
Now the judge who found Obamacare illegal and unconstitutional needs to do the same. And if the DC political structure continues in their evil, the states need to ignore all mandates and laws of the evil president obama and the communist controlled DC congress.
It is time to stand and not let the DC politicians destroy our once Christian nation without a fight.
Let God be true and every man a liar so that your sayings may be true and you may be justified in the day the Lord Jesus Christ judges the children of men.

States should file impeachment and no faith demands for withdrawel, since the presigent and crew have violated their oath to the constitution, we the people cannot go through the justice department..another reason to scale back the federal G’s power..

I like the idea of impeachment. Obama is just waiting for the people of the US to revolt so that he can impose martial law....then we’re all trapped!

Obamma wants $7.00 gasoline. The poor and middle class will get vouchers. There is nothing else left to use as a vote buying mechanism?

Food/housing/healthcare/daycare/education/retirement/, they are already an entitlement.

I am sick and tired of these government employees disobeying the law and the taxpayers paying the fines. If Obama ordered the violation, let him pay the damn fine. NOT ME!
