Obama Doesn’t Want The Oil Spill to Stop

Remember that this administration never wants to let a good crisis to go to waste. This president has such a seething hate for the Republic that he is willing to let this crisis become the biggest ecological disaster in history in order to move forward with his progressive agenda.

There is some very good cleanup technology available in Europe and the Mid-East that could help us clean this mess up in a fraction of the time that we will spend doing it ourselves. All of it is being held up by a little known law from the 1920’s that President Bush waived during the Katrina crisis. The law is the Jones Act. The Jones Act is a law which requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried in U.S.-flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U.S. citizens, and crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. It was a law that protected the merchant marine industry and its unions from competition outside the United States. This law prohibits the foreign vessels that have the technology to help us from actually coming in to do the job.

Why haven’t we voluntarily waived this law for the clean up of this spill? The answer is simple. This administration plans on using this crisis to push Cap and Tax and other green weenie, tax grabbing, job killing laws. The longer this crisis goes on, the more justification they think they will have for Cap and Trade. Look for Harry Reid to push this horrendous bill by August. This socialist administration is hell bent on doing as much damage as possible before they lose power in November.

Hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs and livelihood now because of this mess. This administration in all its infinite wisdom has put a moratorium on drilling for six months. How many jobs will this affect? How do we overcome a loss of six months production? What is going to happen to the price of oil? How does this help stop our dependence on foreign oil?

Hey Obama, instead of looking for some ass to kick, why don’t you get off your ass and get this mess cleaned up for the good of the country.
