The best news we have heard in a long time down in these parts!! Yes, our beaches will be open, clean, safe and FREE of OIL RIGS!! Finally he got something RIGHT!!
Obama rejects drilling in eastern Gulf of Mexico - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101202/ap_on_bi_ge/us_gulf_oil_spill_drilling - broken link)
Sorry Kev, as with just about everything else with this regime what you to think is right is nothing more but standard double talk smoke and mirrors.
One thing you do not nor will not find in the standard media is this regimes subsidy to the tune of 2+ Billion dollars to Petrobras. This "was" a failing "state owned" Brazilian oil company who teamed up with with this administration.
We have surrendered our drilling but have given the rights to them. So not just in Brazil you will find a foreign oil company coming to a beach near you. The only difference is Brazil does NOT have to follow the same rules and regulations as domestic companies do. Rather similiar to US companies following Sarbanes whereas a alien company does not from an accounting standpoint.
So all in all the surrogate son of Jimmy Carter and nephew of Shirley Franklin is doing just fine with his policies.

This.
I am very weary of this "decision" of the Obama administration.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they aren't allowed to drill offshore, but I do think Obama has an ulterior motive for this.
His credibility for me has fallen so far off a cliff it'll be a miracle if he ever regains it.

I ask because I remember their was a big hubbub about the Chinese drilling off the coast in an agreement with Cuba that turned out to be a pack of lies. Ever since I have been skeptical about stories involving foreigners drilling off our coasts. Especially considering the federal government tends to regulate foreign companies drilling in US waters.
Without having researched this much, the skeptic in me has to question whether this move is just smoke and mirrors to appease his far left base that has been pretty apathetic towards Obama as of late. And, this will all mean nothing if foreign countries/corps are still allowed to drill. The only thing this will do is ensure that more of our jobs get offshored (pardon the pun).

Cuba has some special rights that would allow exploration about 45 miles from Key West. Nothing has been signed though and no deals made with other countries. But..it is there and something to keep in mind should it happen.

The 2+ Billion is a loan issued by the ExIm Bank by Bush appointees to promote U.S exports to the Brazilian Oil industry for field off the coast of Brazil.
Fact: The Bank's bipartisan Board unanimously approved the preliminary commitment to Petrobras on April 14, 2009, before any Obama appointees joined the Bank. In fact, at the time the Bank's Board consisted of three Republicans and two Democrats, all of whom were appointed by George W. Bush.
