In my opinion....

The arrogance of our agenda driven President has exceeded all levels of acceptance in recent days with the latest round of what American’s are led to believe are coincidences in the BP Gulf Geyser Catastrophe.

I’m talking about the federal government’s—specifically the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s—decision to halt the immediately needed sand berm dredging along the Gulf Coast over concerns about where the dredging is being done.

This dredging is the same dredging that the State of Louisiana had to apply for—and wait weeks for—permits from the Army Corps of Engineers. They were finally approved after multiple trips to the region by Mr. Obama and cabinet members.

Now, one day after U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman struck down the Obama administration’s six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determines they have concerns about one area where sand is being dredged from saying it is a sensitive section of the Chandeleur Islands, and the state failed to meet an extended deadline to install pipe that would draw sand from a less-endangered area.

Coincidence I ask?

As is so typical in these cases where the government is involved, the right hand doesn’t know or care what the left hand is doing—and in this case--in my humble opinion-- it’s “the left” slapping at those on “the right.”

Judge Feldman is a 1983 Ronald Reagan appointee. His 2008 financial disclosure report — the most recent available — showed investments (like many Judges in the region) in Ocean Energy, a Houston-based company, as well as Quicksilver Resources, Prospect Energy, Peabody Energy, Halliburton, Pengrowth Energy Trust, Atlas Energy Resources, Parker Drilling and others.

He’s clearly not invested in Mr. Obama’s “Green economy”—at least not by the looks of his financial disclosure.

Feldman’s ruling prohibits federal officials from enforcing the oil drilling moratorium until a trial is held. He wrote: “If some drilling equipment parts are flawed, is it rational to say all are? Are all airplanes a danger because one was? All oil tankers like Exxon Valdez? All trains? All mines? That sort of thinking seems heavy-handed, and rather overbearing.”

Judge Martin Feldman cited blatantly false claims by the Obama administration in its report imposing the ban, and violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, which protects against arbitrary government actions.

He was referring to a report filed by the National Academy of Scientists that was “altered” by Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to make the views of those who wrote the report appear to favor a federal moratorium…five of the National Academy experts and three of the other experts have publicly stated that they “do not agree with the six month blanket moratorium” on floating drilling.”

So is this tit-for-tat by the White House?

“Since day one”, Mr. Obama and members of his administration have hamstrung the response efforts to this disaster by imposing red tape at every juncture to delay prevention of the oil reaching shore, and rapid clean-up once the oil arrived.

They’ve failed to lift the Jones Act. The Jones Act bans foreign vessels and crews from working in U.S. waters, but it gives the President the authority to completely waive that ban if he wishes.

Obama refuses to lift the ban, even though American shippers who generally support the ban said they wouldn’t object to lifting it to fight the spill.

As a result of the ban, the U.S. has rejected a lot of foreign aid from counties with expertise in fighting oil spills.

Obama is a politician—not a leader—so in his world, his political agendas always come first. Obama’s reluctance to lift the Jones Act is because of his cozy relationship with labor unions. Unions see the President’s action [not waiving the act] as protecting jobs.

When Governor Bobby Jindal placed “port-o-let” trucks on barges—trucks that have the capability to suck gallons of oil from the marshes--the Coast Guard shut them down-- saying they needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges. The result was a day or so of more oil lingering in the marshes.

And now, we have the issue with the sand berms after a Obama’s moratorium is lifted.

From where I stand, Obama is using BP’s oil spill to push his global-warming legislation that BP lobbied for.

Obama’s global-warming legislation expands ethanol subsidies, which cause famine, starvation, and food riots in poor countries by shrinking the food supply. Ethanol production also results in deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution--as well as making gasoline costlier and dirtier.

This President came into office with his agenda of “hope and change”. He has however proven it is one of “hoax and chains”—he’s repeatedly saying the government is doing everything they can to work with BP to stem the tide of oil—yet his actions and the actions of the agencies he is in charge of—say otherwise.

Obama’s agendas are his and he’s willing to achieve them—at the expense and lives of Americans—for now on the Gulf Coast—but I’m convinced, he’d sacrifice us all, if it’d meant him “winning.”
