obma Has A Plan
 The green areas in the above map show where drilling is allowed. The Red areas show where drilling is not allowed. Compare Bush's map to obama's map. It pretty much explains why the oil markets didn't even blip on the announcement by obama about his opening of some areas for oil drilling. Obama & Democrats: Destroying U.S. Energy Security With Incompetence and Insanity offers this bit for your understanding of what is going on: "Obama did not open new lands to offshore drilling - all of these areas were already open for drilling once Congress and President Bush lifted the moratorium in 2008. Instead, President Obama yesterday announced what areas he would CLOSE to offshore drilling....over 360 million acres are now under a new "Obama Moratorium" that blocks American energy production....plan puts 13.14 billion barrels of oil and 41.49 trillion cubic feet of natural gas under lock and key....The entire Pacific Coast is now off limits. The Pacific Coast alone holds an estimated 10.5 billion barrels of oil--almost 75 percent of the total amount available off the U.S. coastline in former moratorium areas - and 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas"Now compare what we know to what was reported. It is all just a magic trick. H/T Instapundit And just in case you are wondering: my not capitalizing the first letter in obama's name is no accident. Small letters for a small man.

Ah. You mean like this: ∅bama? M. Simon · April 3, 2010 07:25 PM Goos post, people need to understand the difference. TallDave · April 3, 2010 07:45 PM good* TallDave · April 3, 2010 07:45 PM I know it's cliche' to quote Orwell, but "War is peace . . ." Honestly, I have never seen a President or Administration that thought so little of the people it was elected to serve. How else could one explain the fact that his lies are so blatant? Someone at Reason had a post about how to tell when Obama was lying about the healthcare bill - his lips were moving. Well, just broaden that out to every issue he speaks about and you understand the man. Crawdad · April 5, 2010 12:41 PM As I looked at the maps more another thought came to mind. In classic fashion, the west and east coasts/blue states, with NIMBYs galore, have successfully lobbied to protect their own waters by passing off the risks of meeting their energy needs to a poorer part of the country - the Gulf Coast. Home grown enviros/NIMBYs are also good at passing off the costs and risks onto Third Worlders. I also remember a national conversation about five ago (after Katrina) about the need to relocate at least some of the gulf coast oil production and refining because of the constant dangers that hurricanes present to the flow of oil and hence to national security. How soon we forget? Crawdad · April 5, 2010 09:24 PM Post a comment
