Obama gets best of both worlds with this ruling.

yes he does. I see where Gibbs said they would fight it, but they should let it just die and be overcome by events. So this way he tells the envri wackos they need to keep him in office to appoint more liberal judges. And he gets to keep from hurting the economy worst than he already has. But then again doesn’t he want the economy to tank?

Odumbo really looks silly now. First his failure to lead and now the law is telling him he has failed again. odumbo what a buffoon

You got that right. This litigation will probably take quite a long time, and the fight will help cover his ass from attacks from the left.

Meanwhile, while the move might hurt him in areas where people's livelihoods depend on offshore drilling, environmental litigation bores the hell out of most people, so this will probably be forgotten.
