Michelle Bachmann talks about drilling in FL and gets demonized, while ole Jimmy gave the rights to Cuba to do it right under our nose. Kind of funny, kind of ironic, kind of pathetic.

You gotta sell a lot of sugar cane to afford this kind of thing.

This should be obvious by now that we are under assault in our own country by people who are seeking to destroy us from within.

Good for you Cuber! Just stay on your own side of the EEZ.

Will some of the oil be coming from U.S. territory (underground)?

If Bachmann wants to lift the great lakes directional drilling ban I'll stand right there on the stage with her and cheer her on. Everyplace is somebody's back yard.

While U.S. oil and energy prices "necessarily skyrocket," as President Obama once said they would under energy policies that have imposed a de facto ban on offshore drilling, a massive Chinese-built semi-submersible oil rig is on its way from Singapore to a drilling position off northwest Cuba perhaps as little as 50 miles from Key West, Fla.

Bump for any kind of common sense.

Yes, but what do we average people do about it?

After the Asian carp screw up the great lakes an oil spill may not make much difference.

As it was, Congress passed the Magnussen Act which established the 200 mile EEZ for fishing so all the maritime borders were set. Canada, Mexico, Russia, Cuba

That all led to LOST and those original borders were retained.

The other side of the coin, if it were not for the Cuban embargo, US oil companies would be developing the North Cuban Basin.

I saw Moore on Charlie Rose a couple of nights ago. He was flogging a new book. Charlie really does let some creeps on his show, and this is a big one. Mewl, mewl, hateful Republicans, mean cold-icy-hearted-throw-Granny-in-the-snow, meeooww, whine, cry, complain .....

You have to wonder, does Moore believe half of his own BS?

You betcha...They’re going to “Bend it like Becham”...

Proving it will take some expensive and intrusive monitoring...Something this current administration WILL NOT do...

And besides, what the hell would we do about it anyway???

It’s a Chinese rig, operated by the Spaniards, for the Cubans...Ain’t no way we have any cover or clout to do anything about their drilling indescretions in the first place...No matter who is driving the boat in this country...

The U.S. needs to get some straws into that milkshake too. (A reference to “There Will Be Blood”)
