There was just a blip on Fox about it yesterday. I don't know why, all the national news trucks were there.

WAFB news interviewed some of the pro-moratorium folks. It was interesting that they didn't seem to have a clue about the actual situation. They seemed to just be defending Obama's decision? The reasons were obvious, but I won't get into all of that nonsense.

I agree with the OP that the lack of national coverage was disappointing.

Holy smokes........showing those folks only makes it even more clear what an idiotic position they are taking.

Talk about racists!, they could have given two squats about the og industry previously, but now since obama is championing against it they feel they need to get off of their unemployed arse and protest in favor.

Bravo.........

One hundred percent correct. If a white president issued the moratorium, those people would not have been there. It's as simple as that. fricking racists, makes me sick.

The very least you can do before calling someone clueless is quote him correctly.

Joe Glande: "They gonna be gettin' unemployment. They gonna be gettin' monies that Obama, I reiterate it again, set aside for these people. So I don't know what's the big deal about jobs, 'I lost my job.' This is only, I quote 'temporary.' He said it himself until November. He does not want this to happen again and I applaud him for that. You know, it's not about him being the President and being black. You know. It's about him doing the right thing. And I applaud him for that."

Now, I've quoted both of you correctly. You are both clueless.
