Obama never stopped all drilling. You’re ******* nuts. He imposed a brief moratorium on deep offshore drilling only following the Deep Horizon catastrophe; to investigate what caused it and implement restrictions to attempt to prevent future such disasters. And even that limited moratorium was lifted 6 months later.
One thing we can count of from you fawn, if you say it, it's a lie.
{
The newest phase of Obama’s environmental agenda has the oil and natural gas industry in its crosshairs, with plans to curb greenhouse gas pollution from rigs and refineries, tighten oversight of drilling on public lands and impose a strict ozone limit that industry lobbyists
slam as “the most expensive regulation ever.”
The administration still might hand some modest victories to the industry along the way — as early as Friday, for example, the Interior Department may give Shell Oil a final
green light for expanded drilling off Alaska’s Arctic coast. And unlike the
massive climate rule that the EPA issued for power plants last week, the administration’s actions on oil and gas will be quieter, more piecemeal and harder to track}

LOLOL
Another deranged rightard. ^^^
To show that I lied when the only drilling he stopped was a six month moratorium on deep offshore drilling, you post a link showing drilling continued.
DERP
You're sure making your case, fucktard...

The president announced few specific actions. He did declare a six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling, and he is bringing in a former federal prosecutor and inspector general to clean up the Minerals Management Service, a cesspool of nepotism, self-dealing, ineptitude, and cronyism. But those were the exceptions. “One of the lessons we’ve learned,” the president said solemnly, “is that we need better regulations, better safety standards, and better enforcement when it comes to offshore drilling.” As a result, he said—cue the bugles and drums—he’s forming a national commission “to understand the causes of this disaster and offer recommendations on what additional safety and environmental standards we need to put in place.” (Just what the nation needs: another commission.) And finally, he dished out some platitudes about the need to wean our nation off fossil fuels, which even he acknowledged is a pledge that every president has made for the past 30 years, only to watch our dependence grow.
The speech
was filled with “battle plans” and military jargon intended to show how tough the president is on crude. In this, the eighth week of the disaster, the president went from bullying—last week’s search for an “ass to kick”—to full-scale war. “We will fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long as it takes,” he vowed in his first speech from the Oval Office.}

I know I'm impressed. Your DailKOS paycheck is well earned.
