How about reimbursing FoxesNews for all the extra staff they needed to find the truth down there?

There is no proof for economy damage from 6 month moratorium on oil drilling yet.

It is just your political game to bashing on Obama.

It's a fact. Have a govt stop drilling means people cannot work, they don't get paid. No job. If it's big enough the impact would ripple through.

The moratorium immediately shut down 33 deepwater rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, including 22 near Louisiana. According to the Louisiana Department of Economic Development, this action could cost 3,000 to 6,000 Louisiana jobs in the next two to three weeks and potentially 20,000 by the end of next year. For every one employee on an oil rig, there are nine employees onshore supporting that one employee. These are good paying jobs that contribute to the Gulf region's economy.

Further, estimates show lost wages per month from direct and indirect jobs are $165 million to $330 million, and the idle offshore service vessels used by the 33 platforms represent $1 million in lost revenue per day. Expensive to run, these exploration and production operations, once stopped, could take years for the industry to get back up and running as the exploration and production process for oil and natural gas is slow.

Already residents, business owners and local politicians in these coastal communities are asking the president to reconsider as these actions have created much uncertainty and economic instability, with the potential for ripple effects far and wide. Manufacturers who make and supply the equipment, services, engines, boats and materials such as steel and concrete can expect massive economic consequences the longer this moratorium goes on. As a result, thousands - if not hundreds of thousands - of jobs will be lost

ENGLER: Drilling moratorium is a jobs moratorium - Washington Times

Read carefully and understand. Consquences go both ways in terms of how the oil spill hurt the economy and will continue to do so and the oil drilling moratorium will hurt additionally more.

Obama's not thinking on this one here. Never did in the first place. Are you defending Obama's actions? The BP oil spill was bad enough but to purposely put thousands of people out of work is another thing.

Keep playing political game whatever you want.

I will believe when I see, not in your mind.
 
I guess you don't understand that a moratorium on oil drilling has an immediate effect on jobs and the local economy. It also could potential impact the long term since to recover from a 6 month drilling moratorium could take years for states to recover.

Former Democratic congressman Chris John, who is now president of the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, says people in his state are frustrated with the White House over this issue.

"There are 120,000 people that work in the Gulf of Mexico every day and those are very good jobs. Those jobs earn an average salary of about $93,000 (annually), depending on your years of service and your expertise," he said in explaining the importance of the offshore energy industry.

John says every one of those well paid jobs supports at least four other jobs in the state's economy and those jobs altogether have a ripple effect throughout the economy. More than 7,000 good jobs could be lost if the moratorium continues much longer.

Experts: Drilling Moratorium May Do More Economic Damage Than Oil Spill | Economy | English

It'd be in poor faith to do this moratorium knowing that a double-whammy on jobs and economy can have severe economic repercussions on some of the Gulf states.

You talk to yourself so you are not understand.

Like I said again, I will believe when I see so quit being whine about Obama and get a life for real.

You blamed on federal over oil spill but praised at BP and corporations, that's just evil.
 
How many rigs are out there that have stopped working because of the drilling moratorium? How many people work the rigs and those who work on land in support of those rigs? How many families are we talking about?

Putting a moratorium on drilling means putting a work stoppage which means no jobs. And that means no money to earn. That's a fact.

I'm sure about there is good reason about moratorium on oil drilling and I do agree because I want safety to be reviewed and don't want other oil spill again.

Economic damage is part of your game, man.
 
:topic:

Another hijacked thread. Left vs Right. Conservative vs Liberal. None of it closely related to the topic, but since it is posted in current events, the same tired warriors engage in the same tired debates. "Obama goofed" - "you just hate Obama." Isn't there enough threads on the Obama angle? I think you two have started several of them. I guess this topic would die without the Obama slant. *smh*

What does Obama or a drilling moratorium have to do with the BP exec attending a yachting restival?

There is ADers did post about kokonut like Shel is one of them.

"I don't think he has any feelings. If I was in his position, I think I'd be in a more responsible place. I think he should be with someone out trying to plug the leak." That's what Mike Strohmeyer said. I agree.
