Obama says there will be no drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico for 7 years. Estimates for americans laid off are between 12,000-80,000. Rigs are picking up and leaving the US. Louisiana is losing millions in revenue, and the FED is losing hundred of millions in revenue. And oil prices in the US are probably going to go up over time. What do i think.....GREAT. Of course, i own oil production in southern Illinois so i would love to see $100 oil again. GO OBAMA! Shut ALL off shore oil down! Save the world and all that junk.
and we will continue to be at the mercy of the mid-eastern countries. Thanks Obama, you are doing nothing but hurting our country. We will continue to pay the Arabs and you will continue to see more people lose their jobs.
Good luck getting re-elected Obama; putting the needs of your environmental extremists ahead of the rest of 300,000,000+ American citizens makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
The next time that he or any Democrat utters the phrase 'energy independence', be sure to slap his face off, would you please?
