VIDEO: Victims of the Obama Drilling Moratorium

VIDEO: Victims of the Obama Drilling Moratorium
Posted May 24th, 2011 at 7:05pm in Energy and Environment

In the midst of the worst oil spill in U.S. history, President Obama imposed a moratorium on deepwater oil drilling one year ago this week. What was supposed to be a months-long ban on Gulf of Mexico operations has dragged on for a year in what’s now been dubbed a “permitorium” by critics of the administration.

The Department of Interior justified last year’s moratorium as a necessary step to develop new regulations for offshore drillers. But a year later, those closest to the action in the Gulf of Mexico see it as something different—a deliberate freeze on energy production.

Even after facing criticism about the slow rate of permit approvals, the administration still lags far behind the historical average for new deepwater permits. That’s cause for concern not just for the people of Louisiana and neighboring states. It also has nationwide economic consequences.

Heritage and the Institute for Energy Research recently sent a team to Louisiana to hear directly from the people most impacted by the Obama administration’s policies. Our new video reveals their frustration, particularly with Obama for his words of praise about offshore drilling in Brazil while doing the opposite here at home.

You seem to be under the impression that the blogpimp had something to do with the video.

It didn’t.

The pimp simply expects blog hits from you in order to view the stolen video.

This same pimp might be doing the same thing on beastiality sites for all we know.

It’s a scam, don’t fall for it.

A real FReeper would find a video and just post it, from the source, with maybe some commentary.

Ask yourself why this pimp directs you to a blog to view a video he found.

He wants hits, and baits you with a video he thinks you’ll like.

Sure the video may be good.

Think about the motive behind the presentation.

Pimp wants hits.

No skin of my back to give a conservative blogger a hit with my traffic. I’d lot rather support a conservative blogger than a libtard/rino “news org” (leftist propaganda organ).

Evidently, (using your logic) conservative bloggers are the “enemy” and are a far greater threat to freedom and liberty than barry and the commie czar zoo.

Logic fail.

Who says this is a "conservative blogger"?

It's a freakin' BUSINESS stealing videos and using them to tease you into providing hits.

Wake up. Everything is not as the pimp would have you think.

This is the blog section of Heritage.org, The Heritage Foundation. I’m not understanding your complaint this time. Heritage.org is a legitimate site.

Could you please point out anything "liberal" about the blog in question that would indicate in any way that the blogger isn't a conservative? I looked and could find absolutely nothing that would indicate the blogger isn't a conservative. I can find plenty of comments from folks that read that blog that look like conservatives posted them..

For example:
"When it comes to drilling for oil, the Obama administration has increased the “just say no” tactic that liberals and Democrats have employed for decades. There is plenty of oil in the United States of America, if only the government would allow it to be drilled for, and put into the system. The idea that it would take years for newly producing oil wells to increase the supply of oil and lower the price of gasoline is simply a lie. The same ‘speculation’ that drives up the price of a barrel of oil will drive down the price when speculators know there is more oil being produced".

And another: "Obama, the community organizer and his rabble of socialist advisers know nothing about the oil business. Their idea of sound energy policy is not spilling any gas on the ground when refueling your car".

LOL here on FR we don't get comments like that from conservatives, we get you chasing 'blogpims' like a dog chasing cars..

How strange that this provoked all comment on the pimping the blog site instead of the message.

The Moratorium may be “ended” but the permitatorium goes on and on. The offshore industry is suffering death by a thousand cuts. They hang on in hope of the system being restored because the size of the prize is so large.

As long as this administration is in charge the offshore oil industry is doomed. Eventually, it will figure out that it is being played with and that a profitable and sustainable pace of drilling activity will not be allowed by this administration.
