Can we all agree that this administration really doesn’t care about jobs?

Obama the job killer

In May, Barack Obama, the worst jobs president since the Great Depression, announced that he would limit new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Barack Obama knew his offshore drilling moratorium would cost at least 23,000 jobs but went ahead with it anyway. After all, what’s another 23,000 jobs when you’ve lost several million already?

In June it was reported that Team Obama fudged a report to support their drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico.

But this didn’t stop the Obama Administration. These radical leftists still have not lifted their deepwater-drilling moratorium. This week a federal judge ruled the Obama Administration was in contempt for continuing the job-killing stunt.
Bloomberg reported:

The Obama Administration acted in contempt by continuing its deepwater-drilling moratorium after the policy was struck down, a New Orleans judge ruled.

Interior Department regulators acted with “determined disregard” by lifting and reinstituting a series of policy changes that restricted offshore drilling, following the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, U.S. District Judge, Martin Feldman of New Orleans ruled yesterday.

“Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance,” Feldman said in the ruling.

“Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt,” Feldman said.

A Gulf small business owner reacted to this ruling today.

“Judge Feldman tried to overturn the moratorium back in June, before this policy created the desperate economic circumstances we now face. The Obama Administration would’ve saved us a lot of trouble if they’d listened to his legal decision back then and avoided eliminating thousands of jobs and millions in earnings.”

    Stop it !— It’s not ‘job-killing’, it’s nation-killing.

    …… and it’s on purpose…… and they’re going to ignore the ruling and keep doing what they’re doing and more.

    What can we do about it really? Will the judge give a date by which drilling is again permitted? Can’t someone be put in jail for contempt of court? Is everyone in Congress just going to let this skate by? This is very big, and our country is in real danger if Obama etc aren’t stopped in their arrogant contempt of the law.

    He will put his head on his little pillow tonight with no worries. Next day will bring a new lie and a compacent press. Life is not that hard when you aren’t held accountable. Actually, Obama’s life as president is a breeze along with lollipops and fairy tales.

    when barack was on the campaign trail he said many times that america needs to be energy independent. i took this to mean we need to independent of middle eastern oil. well we can’t drill for oil, we can’t mine coal, and we can’t use nuclear energy. i guess what he meant was he was going to make the american people independent of any source of energy.

    Well don’t look for any help from the GOP’s last nominee for president, he believes the Commie in Chief has “pivoted to a much more centrist position.” A MUCH MORE centrist position says John McShame. You see Comrade 0 has been at least somewhat centrist all along, and now he is even MORE centrist.

    Like many, if not most R’s in DC, the senior senator from Arizona (a state Barky has sued for trying to defend itself from invasion) is an utter disgrace.

    Nothing new here, and no one in this administration will be held accountable under Holder and thugs. Besides he will just find some other progressive judge to protect him and his agenda. These sorry pukes are absolutely convinced that they alone are the only ones who can rule. But then most dictators are so inclined and will use every ruse legal or otherwise to further their control over the people. Look around at all the little storm troopers pushing their own little agendas around the nation in anticipation of his coronation.

    The one bright spot in Egypt this week was the Army’s unwillingness to fire on their own people, now however that may be changing. Bottom line the only way these progressive AO’s will be rooted out of control is when the people come to realize the scope of the hoax that the Democraps and Obama have perpetrated upon the nation. I can only hope the damage will not be irreversible.

    Four years of a Democrat congress and four years of Obama, 2 in the Senate and now two in the White House, has decimated any sniff of real prosperity for this country.

    Obama needs to stop his partying and vacationing, hoop practice, and Super Bowl watching with J-Lo and get off his lazy ass and get something real done. He is a damn disgrace.

    And while we’re on the subject of not getting it done, how’s that unemployment rate doing? We can all see big business has been helped out by bailouts and bigger profits as reflected by the higher stock market. How come the job seekers don’t get jobs to share in the better profitability of the marketplace if the Dems are supposed to be such big proponents of helping America’s working class? This administration and his party are a farce.

    We can’t allow this to continue, there has to be some R with the backbone to start the necessary steps to removing this contemptible pos. Ignored the voices of the people, and now the rule of law. We are in danger of a complete melt down like Egypt, and I can’t help but think it’s all happening according to plan. Col.West has the guts, Palin has the guts, who else can we count on? We have to start now or were done can’t you see that?

    Judge Feldman said Barky’s administration has acted in contempt but was that a ruling? I mean, did he charge the administration with contempt of court?

    Has any White House administration ever been charged with contempt of court?

    AuntieMadder commented:

    jainphx, I can see it. Hell, it became apparent to me in mid 2009. Now, here we are, two years – or half way – into his term. If they were to start now, his term will most likely be completed before a decision is made. (There’s an old saying about justice moving slowly that I just can’t recall at the moment. Do you know it?)

    At this point in time it would take a Honduras-style removal. Fat chance of that, either, as there are no cajones in the Supreme Court or the military top brass.

    Obama won’t listen to the Judge OR us. In fact, the day after the Contempt Ruling, BHO “tapped” Bill Clinton as the “Salesman” for HO’s Green Hell policies per Fox News.
    Jainphx..YES! I see it. And Nothing is being done to stop BHO. Nothing.
    We are on the Eve Of Destruction. In fact we are LIVING it now! Will only get WORSE!!
