Because that was the deal the Federal Government made, in order to push drilling further out..
You do believe people should fufill their agreements right?
citation? where is this "agreement" that the US government is responsible for cleaning up the oil companies' blunders??? enlighten us...
I am always amused when the "we want smaller government and LESS government regulation" crowd complains that the government didn't work magic, didn't take the lead, didn't prevent, didn't act fast enough, didn't fix the mess each and every time big business, that you think we should regulate less, blunders....
I think John Q. Citizen has a much better chance of getting elected than Barack. People are tired of lies. Libya needs a new leader, it is a perfect fit for him.

His Character and his Policies have dictated his fate
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
Barack Obama will undoubtedly get re-elected. The economy didn't recover overnight when he came into office, but he's already accomplished more in two years than Bush did in two terms. The Republicans haven't offered any solutions to fix the economy, either. Keep in mind Barack Obama will be the incumbent meaning he'll be harder to defeat than 2008. Don't be surprised if he wins by a landslide. I'm 80-percent sure this next election will be a runaway victory for the Democrats.
Also, the conservatives can't find anyone who measures up. Mike Huckabee already stated he probably won't run. That man has too many skeletons in his closet, furthermore. The guy is an right-wing evangelical Christian for one thing. Plus, he pardoned a guy who killed several people in Arkansas, and he has a son who was ousted as a Boy Scout leader for torturing puppies. Those alone are wild cards that will disqualify him from the race. Sarah Palin will be lucky if she even makes it to the primary. I'm sure she'll run to massage her Alaska-sized ego, too. Not even John McCain stood a chance playing his veteran card, so I'm positive the same is true about the other Republicans.
Barack Obama's ratings are now higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan around this time frame during their first terms. What you're also forgetting is there are more black voters than ever before. They'll probably pour into the polls more so than they did in 2008. Myriad Hispanic voters are disenchanted with the Republican Party as well. Not to mention recent college graduates like yours truly are disgusted over the way Republicans haven't done a damn thing about unemployment and even wanted to slash benefits for the 99ers. They're the ones that gave tax cuts to big businesses.
I'm hoping when Scott Walker gets recalled which I'm sure he will, our friends in Wisconsin will spark the catalyst towards something big. His being ousted will leave a bad headline for the Republicans and cost many of them their seats. I'm half-expecting the Democrats will regain control of both houses again after this whole debacle Bush got us into. Unless something terrible happens, I see no way he WILL NOT get re-elected end of story.
I guess the Obama political machine is already starting its propaganda.
Guess what sweetie, even the far left is bailing on this phantom president:
What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?
The GOP field of challengers is exceptionally weak. However, it's 19 months until the election and a lot can happen in that amount of time. Obama looks safe now, but the election isn't now. If things take a turn for the worse with the economy or Afghanistan, he could become vulnerable. Of course, an improving economy and more stable Afghanistan would make him balletproof.

Guess what Sweetie! This is just an impasse. His polls are already coming back, so that's not quite kosher. Plus, his approval rating is even higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan during their first terms around this time as I articulated beforehand. Wait until election season next year, and we'll see who's confident that he gets voted out of office then.
