I hope he sheads some tears for the many people in his district and south Louisiana that have lost or will lose their jobs because of Obama's decision to halt all new drilling in the Gulf for a year. Let's see how he fights those in his own party for the economy in Louisiana.

like Obama or not, the man was willing to open up more areas to offshore drilling then presidents before him. Perhaps the yearlong ban is too long, but we need to make sure that incidents like this never happen again.

Question to those with oilfield knwoledge. This may be naieve, but they are talking about dropping another blowout preventer on top of the old one. In future projects would it be feasible to have three blowout preventers stacked one on top of the other, therefore only one in three would have to work to ensure safety.

That is not exactly correct my friend. The drilling ban was already lifted by then President George W. Bush in July 2008. The Senate and House voted to do the same in September of 2008. The problem is that the Dept. of Interior IS NOT SELLING LEASES! So regardless of what President Obama says, his Interior Department is not Fast tracking The sale of leases! The first leases are not scheduled to go on sale until 2011. And now because of BP's actions and Ken Salazar selling out to BP, our seafood industry could be destroyed.

Its not about Democrat or Republican, but the truth.

The media are so clueless. A typical BOP stack consist of six BOP's. Keep in mind that it is a "blowout preventer". Not a blowout stopper. There are things that can be improved however a lot of other things went wrong prior to the BOP's even being an issue.

Bull____. Obama "opened" areas to drilling that are years away from being able to be exploited. At the same time he closed off areas in Alaska that were ready to spud within the year. Its all smoke and mirrors with this bunch.

First they ram the opening stages of government healthcare down our throats. Now we get his bogus energy policy, no enforcement of existing immigration laws with a goal of amnesty for millions of illegals and up next, _____s in the military. Like him? NOT.

Wait, I thought it was a 6 month moratorium. Is it now a year?? Does this apply to wells that are currently drilling?
