Obama Cancels Offshore Oil Lease Sales in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
Feds Acknowledge Greater Environmental Protection Needed for Drilling
SAN FRANCISCO— The Center for Biological Diversity praised the Obama administration’s announcement today that it is cancelling two offshore oil and gas lease sales: one in the Atlantic off the coast of Virginia and another in the Gulf of Mexico. The Atlantic lease sale was part of a controversial area that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar approved for expanded offshore oil development after the Bush administration lifted the moratorium on drilling in the Atlantic. The Gulf of Mexico lease sale was scheduled to take place in mid-August.

ridiculous..... this is like shutting down automobile sales because one a-hole decides to run a red light and causes a major accident.

I've gotten to the point where I wish the oil companies would just go ahead and drill and dare the a-hole to stop'em.

you pretty much nailed the hell out of this one. Just another way for our "current" administration to bring the South and especially the Gulf coast to their knees

True that. Maybe even by halftime. He is running us down with frightening efficiency.
I still think Jindal should tell us to close the valve of refined products leaving the state and tell BHO he'll reopen it when the moratorium is lifted. Let some of those precious East coast states and DC do without fuel for a few days and see what happens.
