Federal Judge Struck Down Obama Ban On Oil Drilling In Gulf

 A federal judge struck down the Obama administration's six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, saying the government rashly concluded that because one rig failed, the others are in immediate danger, too.
The White House promised an immediate appeal. The Interior Department had halted approval of any new permits for deepwater drilling and suspended drilling of 33 exploratory wells in the Gulf.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama believes that until investigations can determine why the spill happened, continued deepwater drilling could expose workers and the environment to "a danger that the president does not believe we can afford."    Today is a bad day for the Obama admin and the Democratic Party as a whole. First he was disrespected in public by his general in Afghanistan and now a federal judge has struck down Obama's illegal ban on oil drilling in the Gulf. Now everyone including those chosen by Obama have said the oil drilling ban is not a good thing but Obama will fight this decision like a spoiled child. When will Obama do what is right for the people instead of what is good for his friends like Soros's company Petrobras in Brazil. If Obama chooses to be a bitch and fight the decision then he is nothing less then a criminal
