In response to the BP oil spill disaster, President Obama has ordered a six-month moratorium on the drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico (where there are 33 deep-water rigs), off-shore in Virginia and on Alaska’s North Slope.
Our president is throwing the baby out with the bath water. That six-month moratorium will come at the cost of thousands of jobs. In addition to the drilling crews, workers in industries that manufacture drilling equipment, as well as those employed by companies that provide and ship materials and supplies to the rigs, will also lose their livelihood.
But fear not. We can rely on our friends the Saudis to make up for the oil shortages that are sure to result from the moratorium. Taking a page out of the milk commercials: GOT OIL? Is that what Obma is ‘reaching out to the Muslim world’ for?
We will be enriching the Saudis even more, thereby enabling them to increase their funding of anti-American and anti-Western terrorist groups and the funding of more Wahhabi mosques and madrassahs in the U.S. and Europe. And, of course, we will be paying a lot more every time we fill up our gas tanks.
Our dependence on Saudi Arabian oil must be why Obama bowed down so shamefully to the Saudi king. The Saudis and their terrorist beneficiaries must be jumping up and down with joy.
