To most people that is a no-brainer $tevie, but there are definitely folks outside the "most people" subset on this thread. New rules have already been issued and implemented for some aspects of offshore drilling. However, they're still working on reforms for certain deep sea operations. The people trying to politicize this whole thing don't for a second stop and realize that the Obama administration has zero incentive for prolonging the moratorium any more than is absolutely necessary. They are running purely on the outrage dispensed by the right wing propaganda mill and have no room for actual data when constructing their "arguments".
