mikeb: do you get a tingle up your leg like Chris Mathews? like when Barry said the reason we are drilling so deep is because we are running out? He forgot to mention that its because there is a ban on drilling everywhere else. made possible by the same people who brought us Hockey-stick global warming. isn't your computer powered by electricity and the plastic that its made of a petroleum base?

To help him push through his Progressive Agenda.
0bama's doing what Soros tells him to do. Soros is going to make a ton of money off of Brazilian Petro.
Lefties are a wholly owned subsidiary of Soros.

very final time I checked 1979 isn't 60 years interior the previous. And 1990 isn't the two. contained interior the main miraculous *30* years there have been 6 significant oil spills ( different than for this one ) contained interior the Gulf. 3 Tankers, 2 rigs and Katrina the area we did no longer comprehend the area the oil exchange into particularly coming from. In between those we had dozens of "minor" spills. The 1979 Ixtoc I catastrophe is the main important oil spill in US background ( to this point ). approximately 10x the quantity of the Exxon Valdez "twist of fate".

Not on all of them.
He suspended drilling on deep water wells because regulations are needed to make sure that the kind of spill that happen in the Gulf will never happen again.
The department that grants permits for deep water drilling needs to cleaned of its corruption. And that's what President Obama is trying to do before any more drilling.

It may have had something to do with 11 dead men, miles and miles of destroyed wetlands, marshlands and the ocean being polluted. What do you republicans have against the oceans, wildlife and sea life? Anyone with a brain would have been doing research decades ago to find a renewable substitution for oil and coal!

Is this from Faux, I mean Fox News? If so, I'd recommend researching it before believing it. I'm sure he hasn't done this. He's finally beginning to tell the American people the truth--we have to get off oil. The Republicans have been promising us energy independence since Nixon in 1974. But they are too beholden to Big Oil and Big Oil contributions to be brave enough to do this. I hope the President stops all offshore drilling and opens up clean energy plants and business all along the Gulf to replace the jobs.
