Big deal. The ban will probably be lifted this month according to the linked article.
And the administration has dropped repeated hints that the offshore drilling ban will be eased or removed before it is set to expire on Nov. 30.
Michael R. Bromwich, the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, the agency responsible for policing offshore drilling, said Monday in a letter to the presidential commission investigating the accident that it was possible that the moratorium would be lifted before Nov. 30 for certain types of rigs.
Mr. Bromwich’s boss, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, said the agency was “ahead of schedule” in drawing up new rules to allow drilling to resume and suggested that the moratorium could be eased as early as next month.

That is correct. Obama has inflicted the damage he intended and helped his friend, George Soros. That is all that matters. To hell with the 23,000 US citizens he put out of work.

So its ok if you create unconstitutional laws, provided you simply remove them before they expire?
