I am becoming a disgruntled Obama supporter

Well, she didn't get any she didn't ask for...I bet she would not say she regrets any attention she got from the media...:roll:

Sounds like you are saying she should just, "lay back and enjoy it".

I wish Bobby Jindal would just STFU. He complains the government won't authorize any help yet he has had permission to use 6000 National Guard troops but only chose to use 15% of them. His state's coastline is covered in black goo but he wants to punch more holes in ocean floor not giving a damn that it is affecting wildlife and coastlines in the three states to the east including Florida that doesn't have rigs and doesn't want them. Thousands of businesses, the jobs that go with them and a way of life are being destroyed but his only concern is his state is losing a few jobs on the 1% of rigs affected by the moratorium. You may not like Obama but at least he never ran away from his given name. If a hurricane comes I wish they would stuff Jindal in the hole to plug it till the storm passes.

You didn't read the NPR transcript, I guess. You might want to back away from the talking point buffet you are patronizing regarding the drilling moratorium. You clearly don't understand the economic implications not only for Louisiana, but also for other gulf states and the country, as well.

I sometimes think Obama may choose to be a one term president.

He'll get his legislation passed, take a break from the ever increasing nit-picking, and get to enjoy being a father and husband before his girls go off to college.

I think he might choose to be a one term president because he is making far-sighted choices that will be obviously unpopular in a four year cycle. I can't believe people are ready to throw him under the bus after one and a half years. I didn't hate Bush right off the bat. I was indifferent until he decided to invade Iraq even though most of the country thought it was a mistake.

Please educate me.

Me too. From my understanding the moritorium affects about 32 out of the existing 3800 rigs in the gulf. That is less than 1%. I would bet that the fishing and tourism industries affected by this one oil spill would only hope that their industries were affected by less than 1%.

Unfortunately, the digression has begun. What was that, Gidget, with the trainwreck?

It's here!

OK, first define 'a few' in regard to the job losses you cite.

I apologize, I really do.

five or six, maybe as high as eight?
