Oil jobs already starting to move overseas

Thanks to President Obama and the soon-to-be-reimposed drilling moratorium, our loss is becoming West Africa’s gain.

“Numerous operators told Secretary Salazar that they were in the final stages of moving rigs, deepwater rigs out of the Gulf of Mexico and to West Africa and the Middle East,” according to a person familiar with the matter. “We were frankly disappointed at the lack of serious attention that was paid by the Department of the Interior on the horrible economic impact that the Department of Interior’s policies are having on the industry and on communities along the Gulf Coast.” SOURCE

How can a man in his right mind shut down jobs in America while we’re still trying to create jobs and have millions of Americans on unemployment? How much long will the American people put up with such bad leadership from Barack Obama? What will the people that’s losing their jobs do Obama, please tell us! Using the BP oil spill to push your unwanted agenda is not what Americans need and now the Oil Wells in the Gulf is moving to other Countries!

Obama: Looking To Bypassing Congress To Grant Legal Status To Illegals

The Obama administration is in trouble on all fronts, illegal immigrants, border control, BP oil spill, Blagojevich  trial,  American jobs, and the war against terrorist now in a hurry trying to pass laws illegally before president is a lame duck in November.  Nancy Pelosi is getting worried that Obama will be investigated for all the illegal moves he has made and now begging for money to fight the investigations. I feel that we the American people will learn a lot about who Barack Hussein Obama really is and why he’s trying to bankrupt out great nation after the mid-term elections.

The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, according to Fox News.

Obama Could Face Impeachment If He Pardons Illegals

Republicans, led by Arizona Sen. John McCain, have been angered that Obama has done little to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.

“If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode,” O’Reilly said…SOURCE

Nancy Pelosi Begging for Money to fight investigations against President Obama

Pelosi hopes supporters will cough up contributions to head off various “subpoenas and investigations” that would follow once the GOP takes the majority.

According to The Hill report, Pelosi says if Republicans recapture the House, they’ll kick-off “endless investigations against President Obama” SOURCE

Blagojevich’s “day in court” not looking good for him or for Obama

The tapes that have been played so far in the trial of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich are making it sound more and more like Blagojevich was seeking a quid pro quo deal: the appointment of Valerie Jarrett to Obama’s former Senate seat in exchange for a Cabinet position in Obama’s administration. But it isn’t looking good for Obama either.

According to the Chicago SUN-TIMES, “John Harris, Blagojevich’s former chief of staff, testified Wednesday in the former governor’s corruption trial that three days after the Nov. 4, 2008, presidential election, the ex-governor told Harris he felt confident Obama knew he wanted to swap perks.” SOURCE

UPDATE: MMS fundraisers – What’s Up Doc! Outraged at Tony Hayward and Not at Barack Obama? Video


People are outraged at Tony Hayward for going to the glitzy yacht race in England but isn’t saying a thing about their President Barack Obama going to a ball game while livelihoods are being ruined by the massive two-month oil spill. Do you really think it was the right thing for a President to do during a crisis as great as this one is? And don’t forget that Obama also went on vacation the first weeks of the spill! Let me ask, are you people outraged at Barack Obama your President? Its Obama’s duty to protect our shores from the oil.

Just when it seemed Gulf residents couldn’t get any more outraged about the massive oil spill fouling their coastline, word came Saturday that BP’s CEO was taking time off to attend a glitzy yacht race in England.

Tony Hayward’s latest public relations gaffe didn’t sit well with people in the U.S. who have seen their livelihoods ruined by the massive two-month oil spill.

“Man, that ain’t right. None of us can even go out fishing, and he’s at the yacht races,” said Bobby Pitre, 33, who runs a tattoo shop in Larose, La. “I wish we could get a day off from the oil, too.” Source

UPDATE:

Minerals Management Service inspector participated in skeet-shooting fundraisers

The Minerals Management Service (MMS), the government agency that conducts inspections, has been sharply criticized for its “cozy relationship” with the oil and gas industry.

Two MMS employees who inspected Deepwater Horizon in 2009 were quoted in a recent report (PDF) by the Department of Interior inspector general describing the close relationship that MMS inspectors have with the oil industry.

Marcus Mouton inspected Deepwater Horizon June 9, 2009. Mouton told federal investigators he participated in skeet-shooting fundraisers where “various offshore companies sponsored a five person team.

“He said he had thought participating in the events was acceptable because many MMS employees including senior managers attended and participated in them. He explained he did not think offshore companies received any favors in exchange for inviting MMS inspectors to these events.”

Another Deepwater Horizon inspector, Larry Williamson, described the relationship between the oil and gas industry and MMS employees by saying, “Obviously we are all oil industry.” He added “We’re all from the same part of the country. Almost all of our inspectors have worked for oil companies out on these same platforms.” Read More about The Minerals Management Service (MMS) do their jobs at the SOURCE

Who was the money from these skeet-shooting fundraisers going to?  Could it have been going to Obama and other politicians?

Obama goes to Ball game while oil is still coming ashore in the Gulf States!
