"t’s just gotten to a point where people in Louisiana ask, ‘Do they even understand what is going on down here?’ They have the entire offshore industry virtually shut down."

I believe that healthy debate within a party is good. There will always be matters that are seen from different viewpoints. I am not one who goes for the "My party, right or wrong" approach so will criticise the party I am in and at times applaud some policies from the "opposition", I try not to be blinkered.

This politician seems to have forgotten the larger number of fishermen and people who relied on a healthy tourism trade who have seen their life's work dashed because of our addiction to oil.
I'm suspect that Ms. Landreau's sympathies lay with the drillers because she probably receives more campaign cash from Big Oil than she does from shrimpers.

Proceeding headlong without careful planning and oversight is what got them into this mess. That oil is not going anywhere while they wait.

Landrieu is a Democrat. Which certainly does not mean she can't be taking money from Big Oil. But the OP mispoke.
This doesn't change the fact that the link is to a right wing propaganda site. The piece is so slanted that it removes any credibility the quotes might contain.

You need a link to find out that people livelihood is destroyed because of the ban? Of course, sitting in the Northeast or better yet London, it is easy to be philosophical about all this. I love to see Obama trek down there and open up a CFL shop as a replacement. When this is all said and done nobody has damaged the Democratic coalition more than Obama. Bye, Bye, Gulf states. You guys will curse him for generations.

Like it or not ,the Mississippi river moves not just the largest per centage of river freight north and south , bit is also the center of gas and oil exploration and extraction in the Gulf. It is a huge percentage of the Western Gulf economy. There is no other way to extract the hydrocarbons the feeds America's economy.
Despite the Foundry's bent, the moratorium and the article's facts still remain. |
