Obama administration reimposes offshore oil drilling ban
By Juliet Eilperin
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Wednesday afternoon that the Obama administration will not allow offshore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as part of the next five-year drilling plan, reversing two key policy changes President Obama announced in late March.

How exactly does that work in International Waters?
I mean, the Gulf isn't exactly an American Lake.
Can Mexico do the same thing?
Venezuela?
Cuba?
Haiti?
Does each country have veto power over the whole gulf?
Or can oil companies in reality tell Obama (or Hugo Chavez) to take a runnin back flip and F off?
What if Venezuela wanted to drill in mid gulf?
Can Obama stop that too?
Parent - - By awspartb (***) Date 12-02-2010 17:36
Cuba, Vietnam and China already are drilling in the Gulf.  It only applies to companies with a US presence.  It a way to shut down the oil and gas industry and redistribute wealth in true Socialist fasion.

Now that makes sense when in the context of our Presidents extremist agenda.

When you think of it that way, I kinda wonder why Texas hasn't asserted it's states right soverignty and just gone forward...  Heh.

Lawrence, a few years back a guy here in Texas was trying to do that, he had a small following but "The Man" put him down rather quickly. It to me is a good idea seeing who is in the White House and how our dependency on foreign oil seems to be growing along with everything else to bring the USA to it's knees.

That guy was just a few miles out of Lufkin heading towards Tyler, had a small compound and everything with signs out beside Hwy 69 almost like Burma Shave adds "Stop and sign petion to secede from the Union." Don't really remember what all happened to him but the movement was big news around my neck of the woods while it lasted.

jpill, last I recall he was holed up in Ft. Stockton, DPS and Sherriff's Dept. swooped in and cuffed him, I think he still is in jail.

Jealousy DOES NOT suit you well. Have you ever figured out why you are part "B" instead of "A" ? Loser
Parent - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 12-04-2010 01:15
Here is someting for you to figure out. Prevailing Wage for a Welder in this Region is $14.26. The welders that work with me, bring home about $5,000 per week. I tried to tell you we are WAY above prevailing wage. Idiot

Could you explane to me what a "chooch" is. I was working with a guy when I was welding at the Volkswagen plant in chattanooga he was from up north and he referred to another guy as a chooch.
Parent - - By ssbn727 (*****) Date 12-03-2010 23:21 Edited 12-05-2010 03:33
Hi Ronnie!

(1) The term is derived from the Italian "ciuccio" and means dummy, idiot, or moron, or partbs, etc...
(2) A "Chooch" is a person, who against his own better judgement, acts inappropriately!!!:) :) :)
(3) Someone that farts in the bathtub and sniffs the bubbles!!! ROTFLMFAOAAA!!! :) :) ;)
There's more, editbut I think you already get the meaning of the word (I must have hit a key without noticing before) - Capeche? ;)

Btw, please send my regards as well as the very best Christmas Blessings to your wonderful son and to the rest of your family also!!! ;) :) :)

So for all of you who wish to experience the closest description of what it is to be a "Chooch" or as close to describing our pal, "old partbs" as Johnny Walker affectionately describes him as such, then be on the look out for this upcoming film...

http://www.choochthemovie.com/

Starring "awspartbs!!!:) :) :)" ROTFLMFAOAAA!!! :) :) :) You'll find that this is the purest form of flattery towards "awspartbs!"
IFLTDHH (I'm Friggin Laughing Too Darn Hard Here!!! :) :) :)

I hope this satisfies your curiosity Ronnie! ;)

Respectfully,
Henry

ssbn727, That reminds me of a runnin' buddy I had in my teens & twenties. His best friend (italian) nicknamed him "Choochy" and it stuck!!!! The rest of us NEVER knew why his best friend & family called him that? He married early twenties to a girl with a "moraly casual attitude" but he didn't care. Ended up, ran head on into a semi on Rt. 22 by Murrysville, trying to pass a truck in front of him !!!! Of course we were saddened, but not suprised because he was a TERRIBLE driver from day one and our parents FORBADE us from riding w/ him !!!!!! "Now I know the rest of the story" From: Sixburgh home of the STILLERS' and PENS & grandmothers of a time gone by that wore "BABUSHKAS" Hope your feeling good Henry !!!!!

Big O is for Oil Drilling......just not by the USA.

August.....The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil's planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan.

Despite President Obama’s moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank, with govt approval, intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company’s oil drilling in the region.

John, With your attitude on life, it is amazing that you are able to function in a Normal Society. Someone needs to explain to you that the world does not revolve around you.

CACTUS, GEEZZZ sounds like you got another STALKER , didn't this guy inspect on a job for you ?????  If the job didn't pan out, don't people understand, ITS' BETTER TO JUST GO AWAY, NOT GO AWAY MAD!!!!!! Using the computer to badmouth people you work or have worked for is CLASSLESS and if I ever caught an employee that I employed pulling that B.S. I would be having a face to face meeting with the INGRATE !!!!!! Pittsburgh home of the STEELERS !!!!!!

Smooth,
  Maybe you condone lieing to people like a little ***** like he does. Maybe you lie to your employees as well. THAT is CLASSLESS!!! As for a face to face meeting with him, well this "ingrate" is ready, willing and albe to handle that, however that is the last thing he wants.

You do not know the truth of what happened, if you know any of it at all, so don't go jumping the gun on who is a classless ingrate.

The only schedule I have seen for you is littered with "unavailable", "out of town", "out of the office" and "can not locate".

Jealous of a lying gypsy like you? LMFAO. NOT HARDLY.

We will see about Discovery Channel, I did not know they were doing a reality special "The shortest, fattest blowhard". You are defiantly the "person" for the show.

The dog is having his first birthday in January 2011. We would like to cordially invite you as the guest of honor. We will even plan the event around YOUR SCHEDULE (this way you will not be unavailable). LOL

Surely a "man" (term used very loosely) of your stature and achievement can take the time to accept this gracious invitation (all you have to do is show up, how easy is that?).
