Poor Obama. He must hate it when the law and common sense stop him in his attempts to ruin the nation.
Don’t worry, they announced an immediate appeal. Obama is quoted as saying “Who does this judge think he is? I AM THE ONE! I will do my best to ignore this ruling and ruin as many jobs as possible. FORE!”. Ok, I lied about that last part. Well, probably didn’t lie about the golfing bit…
It’s nice to see that the Judiciary (at least this one member of the Judiciary) is not completely beholden to The One and his progressive schemes, and actually understands the rule of law over thuggery.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A federal judge in New Orleans has blocked a six-month moratorium on new deepwater drilling projects that was imposed in response to the massive Gulf oil spill.
Several companies that ferry people and supplies and provide other services to offshore drilling rigs had asked U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans to overturn the moratorium.
President Barack Obama’s administration has halted the approval of any new permits for deepwater drilling and suspended drilling at 33 exploratory wells in the Gulf.
Feldman says in his ruling that the Interior Department failed to provide adequate reasoning for the moratorium. He says it seems to assume that because one rig failed, all companies and rigs doing deepwater drilling pose an imminent danger.

While I am glad that they are doing something about it, instead of ignoring or supporting the problem, what kind of world do we live in where animals like these people exist so that we even need “decoy Jews”.
Lodewijk Asscher, Amsterdam’s mayor, has ordered the new decoy strategy to cut the number of verbal and physical attacks on Jews, amid fears that anti-Semitic "hate crime" is on the rise.
"Jews in at least six Amsterdam neighborhoods often cannot cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked," according to local reports.
Do they really need to even include the phrase “often of Muslim immigrant origin”?
Secret television recordings by the Jewish broadcasting company, Joodse Omroep, broadcast at the weekend, have shocked Amsterdam, a city which prides itself on liberalism and which is home to the Anne Frank museum.
The footage showed young men, often of Muslim immigrant origin, shouting and making Nazi salutes at a rabbi when he visited different areas of the Dutch capital.

Obama is a recordsetter, that’s for damn sure.
- Highest debt
- Highest deficient

How’s that Hopey-Changey Stuff treating you?

Since his election in 2008, the US economy has shed 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Herbert Hoover.
News Alert reported this from Bloomberg Businessweek:
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. shed 2.3 million jobs since February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office. Going back to World War II, that is by far the worst record for any president in his first 17 months, outpacing the job destruction experienced in the early Bush years by more than 800,000 jobs…
For Obama, there is an even worse way to play the data, which might just become fodder for a political ad: From November 2008, the month he was elected, until now, the economy has shed an astonishing 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Hoover.
