| Interior appeals oil drilling ruling |
| 2011-03-05 |
The Obama administration late Friday appealed a judge's orders directing the Interior Department to act on several Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling permits. The appeal is the latest salvo in the ongoing fight over the speed with which Interior is – or isn't – letting oil drillers get back to work after last year's BP oil spill. |

| #6 Didn't the Federal Judge hold the Interior Dept in contempt? Isn't ignoring a Federal Judge a failure on an IQ test? What a bunch of yo-yo's. |

| #4 AH HI!; Nixon was president at that time. O reminds me of the Carter years more(1976). Nixon had a war with the Washington post and the post won. The Nixon Kennedy debate was rigged against Nixon also. The Carter years had trouble with the media also but nowhere near what they did to Nixon. Double digit inflation and gas rationing and so on. Carter was a smart man but tried to do everything himself just as he has done after leaving office. He has his faults but he is strong minded. |

| #2 Things are getting out of hand now. What will happen should regular go to 5.50/gallon and diesel goes to 6.00/ gallon as projected by fuel distributors?. We have a revolution going on now. Crime is on the rise. Stealing fuel at home or at work. B & E burglaries daily. Just talk to law enforcement in your area. Most crimes are not reported. Prime target is anywhere money can be gotten. Most of the new crime involves beginners. |

| #1 this is a real winner for Teh One ™ and his genius handlers, including that prick Ken Salazar. Deny or impede permits for domestic production as gas goes over $4/gallon. Gonna be a loooong hot summer. I hope he feels the heat and Americans have longer attention spans into 2012 |
