    If this is true, it's a great decision.

    This is in the interest of the people of LA.

    It's a very good thing, and of course the plaintiffs are in the oil business. It's a large part of the local economy in LA. 16%

    Obama doesn't have the authority to do so in the first place

    He would be killing 16% of Louisiana's economy, as these rigs aren't coming back, after they leave for Brazil

    Obama is the tyrant

    Why did he give the Brazillian oil company, Petrobus, 2 billiion dollars; a company that George Soros is heavilly invested in?

    Why is it ok for them to drill, but not us?

    This makes the moretorium that much more suspicious, especially in light of the fraud Obama commited on his document signed by "experts"... But what he didn't tell you is that the moretorium wasn't on the signed document. it was added later. Outright FRAUD

    Source(s): Drilling is gonna happen, one way or another. You're just throwing away the revenue and jobs of having it done here. Obama has no problem investing in Petrobus. Fishy, no? Crime, Inc. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    Dream on, there is greater funds to lose if we drill off our coasts, through spills and the destruction of our trip industries. no longer in simple terms that, the data are that drilling offshore won't decrease the gas expenses, the priority isn't a loss of oil that is with the refineries. yet do no longer enable the data get on your way of spreading your proper wing wacko propaganda. As for Obama, i will in simple terms wait to work out the tears from all you Repugs whilst he wins the presidency. perhaps we would desire to continually take a thought from the Repugs and function a one hundred year Democratic rule!!!! we are going to coach you the way it is going to be run!

    Well consider other topics. When Toyota had the braking issues, did we ban all use of Toyota vehicles everywhere across the country regardless of model and year?

    It's okay to limit use of related technologies in related situations, but it's not okay to toss out a blanket ban on something when most of the impacted situations aren't even similar to the one that caused the problem. This wasn't just a ban on new oil drilling. It was a ban on everything, even existing sites.

    CNN reports:

    "Several dozen plaintiffs had sued President Barack Obama's administration, arguing the ban would create long-term economic harm to their businesses"

    Can we guess that those plaintiffs are all in the oil business?

    Why do you think this is a good thing? You are screaming blue murder about the BP oil spill and yet you are cheering on even more drilling - are you people nuts?

    I'm fairly sure that a judge in Louisiana does not have the power to overturn a presidential mandate... look for Obama to get his way... you know why? cause he's the president, not some random judge in LA lol

    I think this administration will waste more tax dollars fighting this, just like they will waste tax dollars taking on Arizona instead of dealing with the illegal immigration problem that got Arizona to pass that law to begin with.

    Activist judges always put the interests of corporate pigs ahead of the interests of citizens.

    Source(s): And based on the responses, more evidence, as if any were needed, that conservatives and traitors are one and the same.
