This afternoon, the White House announced that a drilling permit had been issued for one well in the Gulf of Mexico. That's correct -- ONE WELL!!! The amazing thing is that the White House thinks that people will somehow now be fooled into believing that drilling is again moving forward. What garbage. It used to be that a drilling permit was issued by the feds within two weeks at the longest. This was the first permit issued in a year. A federal court has held the government in contempt for refusing to issue five other permits sought by one company up to nine months ago. the drilling industry has died and we are supposed to get excited over one permit. Oil prices are soaring and we are supposed to be relieved because one permit has been issued. The security of the USA has been dramatically reduced but we are supposed to give thanks to the great Obama for issuing a permit for one well.
Well, (pun intended) excuse me for not getting too happy over obama finally issuing a permit for one lonely well. The world oil industry is teetering on the brink of disaster and Obama wants praise for issuing one measly permit. If the oil industry crashes, so does the entire world economy, but Obama is like a two year old who wants us to scream "Hooray" for everything he does. Sorry, but he is going to have to look elsewhere for praise. I actually pay attention to what he has done. I could never praise anyone for undermining the security of this country.
