What has he done worthy of impeachment? Has he invaded another country that did not attack us? Has he lied in order to get us into a war? He he knowingly withheld information about a political break in? Tell me what he has done.....crickets?
He has placed a
moratorium on offshore oil drilling or exploration off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and in parts of the Gulf of Mexico. He has also prohibited new drilling exploration on federal land in any states in the United States. These actions by the DOI have continued in direct defiance of several court orders issued by Federal Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans,
He has betrayed the American people and authorized loans of billions of dollars to countries like Brazil and Mexico so that they can drill for oil, and then sell that oil to the United States.
History of Offshore Drilling
In 1982, Congress placed a moratorium on oil and gas leasing off the west coast of the United States, and in the years that followed, they also restricted leasing off the Atlantic coast and the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Then in 1990,
President George H.W. Bush issued an executive moratorium on oil and gas leasing in those same regions, which was extended by President Bill Clinton until 2012.
For more than 25 years, U.S. waters were protected, until 2008 when President George W. Bush lifted the executive moratorium. At the same time, fueled by rising gas prices and a challenging election year, cries of “drill baby drill” convinced Congress to allow the moratorium to lapse as well.
In a 2006 bipartisan agreement, Congress passed the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) which opened up new areas in the western and central Gulf while protecting the eastern Gulf until 2022.
When President Obama took office, his administration put a hold on the plan to allow appropriate time for comments from all sides of the drilling debate. But in March 2010, President Obama announced that he would open much of the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to offshore drilling, including areas that were previously protected.
Shortly after this announcement, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in April, 2010, resulting in the largest accidental oil spill in history.
Dispelling the Brazil Oil Loan Myth as Obama Heads to Rio - Forbes
The Export Import Bank is a government run bank. It made a preliminary commitment to offer Petrobras $2 billion in April 2009. What that means is, Petrobras could take out a loan from the Bank and use that money not to enrich Soros or shareholders, per se, but to enrich US companies in the energy space, mainly businesses in the oil, natural gas, and oil rig space. The money would in fact come back to the US and, hopefully, even create jobs due to demand for goods and services from Petrobras, one of the biggest oil companies in the Americas.
