How much would Obama's drilling moratorium cost over a sixth-month period?
For starters, the guy who blew into office claiming to have a plan to stop our dependence upon foreign oil has just attempted to increase that dependence by nearly one-third.
200,000 jobs are at risk, or already lost. But those are just the little people. The federal government stands to lose half a billion dollars in revenue. Every six months. And the drillers aren't wasting time - unlike the federal government, they see downtime as lost opportunity. They're already moving equipment out of the Gulf, and they won't be hurrying back after Obama's "moratorium" ends. Obama is an idiot; albeit a well-educated idiot. He has a lot of book-learning, and no real-world experience.
That's what makes him the most dangerous President in American history.
