When the Obama Administration placed the moratorium on drilling, they did so knowing that they were risking 23,000 jobs.

In a time of such high unemployment rates and the economy in a tail spin, where do you think priorities lied?

I believe it would be better to lose the jobs than to risk further destruction of our environment. There is no reason to ever drill in the Gulf. There is more sweet crude on dry land in the Dakotas and Montana than in the Whole Arab Region. We never needed to but the first drop of oil from a single Arab country. It is all a ploy by the Oil Companies to make big bucks and rip us off.

It is the Government and the oil companies. They bought up all of the mineral rights. The folks who own the land did not know they were sitting on black gold and many years ago sold their rights. There are a few who still own the rights, but not many.

The priority of the usurper and his cohorts is ONLY to destroy our economy, our freedom, even our very lives re deathcare according to his purpose of jihad and NWO. I have heard it has been said by Henry Kissinger that Obama would usher in the NWO. And, to be sure, NWO cannot happen with a free and sovereign America, so we must be dismantled as he is doing.
