OBAMA USED FALSIFIED INFORMATION TO IMPOSE OIL DRILLING MORATORIUM

In every interview or speech that Barack Obama has given concerning the oil spill that is devastating the Gulf of Mexico and much of the coast line of many of our Southern most States, Obama has claimed that he is listening to the advise of, "experts," in response to how his administration is reacting to the oil spill.

One of those responses which was personally made by Obama and his Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was to place a six month drilling moratorium on the Gulf stopping ALL deep water drilling by not just BP but all oil companies under Unite States jurisdiction in the Gulf of Mexico. This moratorium was put in place based upon recommendations that Obama claimed came from a report by seven experts recommended by the National Academy of Engineering.

According to Obama and Salazar the report recommended that several steps needed to be taken among those was a, "six-month moratorium on permits for new wells being drilled using floating rigs and an immediate halt to drilling operations." The moratorium was then immediately announced and went into affect based totally on the report, putting thousand of people out of work, more than have been affected by the spill itself, and reducing our domestic oil production by nearly 30%.

After hearing of the implementation of the six month moratorium the seven experts who Obama and Salazar claimed made the recommendation announced that they were distancing themselves from the report because it was CHANGED by Salazar AFTER they had signed it. The report had been modified after their signature to include two paragraphs calling for the moratorium.

The seven experts also stated in their announcement distancing themselves from the report that they had actually recommended that drilling NOT stop because it would be more dangerous to stop drilling than to continue and if drilling were stopped companies would move operations and floating platforms elsewhere so it could be years before drilling could resume in the Gulf as a result.

But this recommendation by experts did not meet with the Obama anti-oil, anti-drilling and pro green energy to pass cap and trade agenda so rather that reporting the findings as the experts submitted, Salazar and Obama doctored the report to include the drilling moratorium. The announcement of this deception comes just two days after families of those who were killed in the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon during Congressional hearings, called on Obama to NOT place a moratorium on Gulf drilling because they personally understand the impact it would have on the region and those whose jobs would be lost because of the ban and the impact on our oil supply from US sources.

Once again as with most of Obama's policy he is placing his agenda before the people and the needs of the Nation. The doctoring of this report in order to meet his agenda is just one more example of the arrogance that this administration and especially Obama has to believe that he can to whatever he pleases regardless of the consequences or the will of the people in order to keep with his plan to rebuild America in his socialist image.

One has to wonder in light of the revelation of the doctored report, if Obama's lack of response to the spill has been intentional in order to allow the impact of the spill to build enough anger toward, "big oil," allowing him to end drilling as a result. What little response he has made has been completely reactionary. He went to the region only AFTER being criticized for not going. He feigned anger in his now infamous NBC interview only AFTER being accused of not showing emotion. Now he is meeting with the the CEO of BP only AFTER being criticized for not having a meeting more than 50 days into the disaster.

A reactionary President is a dangerous President. We learned that from the four years of Jimmy Carter and Obama makes Carter look like a Presidential expert which is truly sad. Adding to Obama being only a reactionary is his pension to lie and falsify in order to continue his agenda which creates a danger for our people and our Nation the likes of which we have never seen before in our history.
