But the article you post doesn't support your claim.
You can't bullshit your way out.
{A few weeks after Feldman held the Interior Department in contempt of court for ignoring his ruling to put an end to the job-killing drilling moratorium, he ordered the Interior Department to get moving on new permits one way or the other. Judge Feldman gave the Administration 30 days to act on five permits, emphasizing that the Administration has been sitting on these permits for four to nine months when Interior routinely processed the permits in two weeks’ time. Feldman wrote: “[T]he government is under a duty to act by either granting or denying a permit application within a reasonable time. Not acting at all is not a lawful option.”
Part of the problem is merely confusion. CNN Money reports that with respect to some permits, “the government said four of the five applications are not technically before it. They were sent back to the applicant to correct problems, according to the court ruling. The applicant said it was never alerted about problems with its requests.” But in any case, the economic effects are real.}
Judge to Obama Administration: Get Moving on Drilling Permits
I understand, you're a partisan hack, you promote the party and don't give a shit about facts, still - the facts contradict your propaganda.
"The government says it has approved 32 permits for shallow water wells with only 7 pending applications. For deepwater oil wells, the agency says it has only 3 pending permits.
In the Ensco case, the government said four of the five applications are not technically before it. They were sent back to the applicant to correct problems, according to the court ruling."
But like I said. Currently the oil patch is booming in the Gulf and in the Bakken formation (Dakota). The only way that can be turned against the President is by lying and claiming that he has stopped all drilling permits, givimg money to Brazil for them to drill with....an on and on.....
Once the court ordered the administration to stop blocking the permits.
And it STILL doesn't matter - the price at the pump will cause voters to dump your little tin Messiah®
You can argue all day long that it's BOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH's fault - it won't matter. If soccer moms are doing without because gas prices for the SUV are busting the budget, they won't vote for Obama - even with Huggy there to call them racists.
