A federal judge in New Orleans, Louisiana, has blocked a six-month federal moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf.
Several dozen plaintiffs had sued President Barack Obama's administration, arguing the ban would create long-term economic harm to their businesses. Obama ordered the moratorium after the April 20 explosion of an oil rig off Louisiana that killed 11 people and triggered an underwater oil gusher.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says the government will immediately appeal the ruling to the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

I'm guessing you think what this federal judge did will mean something.You are childlike in your expectations.

Wow this took long to shake out.No conflicts here at all.No sir.
Judge who overturned drilling moratorium reported owning stock in drilling companies
According to Feldman's 2008 financial disclosure form, posted online by Judicial Watch [pdf], the judge owned stock in Transocean, as well as five other companies that are either directly or indirectly involved in the offshore drilling business.
It's not surprising that Feldman, who is a judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana, has invested in the offshore drilling business — an Associated Press investigation found earlier this month that more than half the federal judges in the districts affected by the BP spill have financial ties to the oil and gas industry.
Hey squirt either make a fucking point with merit or shut the fuck up.Pictures of GW is not a valid argument.Ever wonder why your views are shared by the likes of Phantom?Its totally not because you only listen to people who tell you what you want to hear.I'm sure you think that 20 billion set aside for victims was a shakedown because thats what you were told to think.

I like how Obama stops the drilling and then makes somebody else pay for the lost wages. What a piece of crap that guy is.

– Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, were among those asking the Obama administration not to appeal the ruling.
– Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell said Tuesday that the judge's decision "is good for the nation."
- Iran offers to help clean up spill
A New York Times/CBSpoll published Tuesday morning revealed that 59 percent of Americans think the president does not have a “clear plan” for combating the spill, and 61 percent said the president’s response to the spill was “too slow.”
The survey also showed a lack of confidence that President Obama can stop the flow of oil soon and give necessary help to residents affected by it. Nearly half of the respondents replied it will take “several months” to stop the spill, and 16 percent said the spill will take a “year or longer” to end.
The panel appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is short on technical expertise but long on talking publicly about "America's addiction to oil." One member has blogged about it regularly.

I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

What has the government done to protect the coast from the oil? List'em out for me.
Photo-oping does not count. This environmental disaster should not be a podium for your political agenda. If this were a republican you'd be slaughter him. Pull your head out of his ass once and a while...

Ok I don't but you do. Apparently your plumbing expertise extend into BOPs and human error.
But we know that your precious governing body is doing all it can to help the people of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida right? That 20 billion that Obama made BP put out is your idea of something great? Tell me how money is in it right at this moment.
