He gets it. Justs known he can't win Louisiana. If the guys were working for the United Auto Workers, they would be receiving compensations check yesterday

He gets it. Nobody is so stupid that they can't figure out how bad this will be to our economy.
He has to play the game, and right now the game is to appeal to his enviro whacko voter base due to him making a pro-oil decision back in April. He has to be the tough anti big oil man for a while to make a point.
I hate politicians.

right, Obama knows that the moratorium will drive the rigs away, which is his goal.

Maybe a better question is this:
Does Jindal get that by supporting Republican policies to limit government oversight might have played a major factor in the BP FUBAR oil spill?
You don't want government interferring, then stop asking them for help.
You believe in a free market without regulations.well, Jindal, you got EXACTLY what you asked for.
I'm sure BP has Louisiana's interests as a top priority...not their own bottom line.
Oh wait....
Ya know, the moratorium might prevent a hell of a lot worse accidents than jobs being lost.
Why are people so willing to suck at the tit of big oil instead of focusing on new jobs and development so we don't have to depend on these oil pirates who are destroying our coast?

No, THERE WERE REGULATIONS. MMS didn't do their job. Also, this accident happened in LA waters...or federal (including EEZ)?

Which company is Louisiana has LA as their top priority...instead of remaining profitable? I'll wait.....

Post about gay super soldiers from LAdy GaGa videos, that was at least better than this abortion. quote:

I hope you don't use electricity, or plastics, or medication, or buy food at a store, let alone drive, etc......
Because if you do, you're a hypocrite.

It has been a very long time since there has been a major incident in the gulf. Do you know how many rigs have been put into operation out there and how many barrels these rigs have produced?
La needs these jobs now. When your unicorn that shits rainbows shows up and starts giving us another alternative to the fuel that the rest of the country depends on from us, then maybe other forms of jobs can be created.
There are more than enough rules and regulations in place now, it just takes a non fcked up gov. entity to do their job and watch over this stuff. It doesn't matter if it is democrates or republicans, just fill your dept heads with people who know what they are doing and give a shite.

30 CFR 250 Subpart D.
Offshore Drilling regulations. Everyone can read them for themselves and decide if they are sufficient. Interestingly enough, the new requirements will likley be enforced within the framework of existing regulations. New and stricter interpretations will likely be enforced.
ETA: to add link.

The 4 states that this will affect the most did not vote for him, so he's not worried about the economic impact it brings to these states.

I really don't buy all of that. As stated above, I think it is about appealing to the environmental groups.
Alot of Obama's term is already being judged by the economy, including unemployment rate. I know La's numbers are good.I think Miss, and would AL, have some of the better unemployment numbers in the country right now also. Just making matters look worse for himself if he was thinking that way about not helping republican states.

Yes, he is appealing to his environmental group. The group that voted for him. The states that stand to me hammered by this disaster didn't vote for him and will never vote for him. He knows this, so why jump through hoops to help? I am afraid that the rest of this country really could give a bigger shite about what is going on down here.

The Obama administration said the president would propose legislation for an Oil Spill Unemployment Assistance Program that would make benefits available to those who lose their jobs because of the moratorium, including self-employed contractors and others who wouldn't ordinarily be able to collect unemployment.
Yeah all the guys I know who work offshore would be happy with $300 week. They make a hell of a lot more then that.
I find it so ironic. After 9/11 they did not ground all flights. I fly every other week and I had people ask me "Are you not afraid to fly" and I would laugh and say "Heck, it is safer now then it was before 9/11" same applies to the current safty of the rigs. MMS is crawling up every rig/platform's arse and inking left and right. This is like closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out.

Good grief, please read this and take it all in.....WHO IN THE HELL IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS? the taxpayer? Ok, I'm in the industry and may one day need this, but come the hell on.
This jackass would rather take money out of the taxpayer pocket, barrel us further into debt, instead of letting private enterprise let people earn their own living. This is absolutely frigging insanity.

I'm pretty sure this would come from the fund/taxes they impose on oil companies for this very reason. Maybe i'm wrong.
