Today President Obama announced through the Secretary of the Interior
that he has placed a seven year moratorium on new drilling in the
eastern gulf, as well as a five year ban on Atlantic drilling. After the
BP platform accident Obama placed a six months moratorium on gulf
drilling.
Those on the right have been telling us from
the beginning that the ban on drilling was never lifted. We had the
leftwing media telling us the gulf ban only applied to deep water
drilling. We know now that we were right and that the lame stream media
was lying to the people. The ban after the BP accident applied to all
new drilling and was never lifted.
We are at a time
when every politician and individual in the country is calling for
energy independence, yet we have a government that is banning oil
drilling. The federal government recently took control of millions of
acres of land in Utah and Alaska that could have been set aside for new
sources of oil, while at the same time we import oil from our enemies at
record rates. This is the same government that sent $3 billion to
Petrobas to help explore drilling off the coast of Brazil. Do I need to
mention that George Soros owns 3 percent of the mostly state owned
Petrobras? Petrobras is the lone operator of all oil fields in Brazil.
