A Gulf Coast official is pleading with President Barack Obama to scrap the moratorium on new oil drilling and exploration as the investigation of the massive oil spill continues, saying the economic impact to her Louisiana parish would be too much to bear.According to one report I saw the moratorium on drilling to cost 30,000 jobs... immediately, all around the country. And it's completely unnecessary. It's a typical emotional reaction from a group of people who don't have the maturity to understand real problems and come up with real solutions.
Charlotte Randolph, president of LaFourche Parish, said she spoke to Obama in person during his visit to the oil-stricken region Friday.
“I expressed to the president that we are dying because of the oil spill, but if he allows this suspension to happen it will kill us,” she told reporters Saturday, noting that her parish has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
“First I’m hearing from fisherman who are dying because of the oil spill,” she said. “Now I’m hearing from the oil and gas industry and all of those associated services that they will be put out of business.”
Obama’s tour of the oil damage along the Gulf Coast came a day after he announced steps to limit new oil drilling and exploration during the oil spill. The president said he is “fully engaged” and ultimately responsible for what he called a catastrophe.

This is just more evidence the Obama administration has no intention or interest in preventing the loss of jobs or economic decline in any area of the private sector!
This is just a prime example of what you get when you "hire" someone who has no prior experience, and is unlearned in today's business dealings. The example in case in Obama and his inner circle.
