President Obama can't win. He gets the residents of the Gulf Coast $20 billion, thats BILLION with a B and the out of work oil workers $100 million to tide them over till the moratorium on deep water drilling is over and the Repukes come back fighting and whining saying that we have to keep drilling, so they go get themselves a judge who over turns the moratorium.</p>

The government appealed and then another judge up held the previous decision. How is this making any sense. The president wants a moratorium to make sure that the 33 deep water wells, 33, not all of the platforms, there are hundreds of rigs in the gulf, the president just wants to shut down 33 of them for 6 months to insure they are safe.

Does Bobby Spindle (as I like to call him) really think this is a bad idea?

Dude, workers from 33 rigs have $100 million to dip into for the next 6 months. Shutting down 33 rigs for 6 months if it prevents a second oil disaster and the loss of one more life on one of those rigs to make sure they are safe is worth it.

Repukes need to stop over reacting, their facts are wrong, they are doing nothing more than what they have been doing since day one for this presidents term, falsifying their talking points to see this president fail.

After this spill and the loss of 11 lives I would hope that the average oil worker would want to return to a safe rig. To one that has been inspected and deemed safe. The repukes are twisting this and care about nothing more than the money that big oil is throwing at them to continue to put lives and the environment at risk.
