I don't even know him, but I am in love with him. He may be the smartest man and the most well liked man in America. Of course I am speaking about Judge Martin L. C. Feldman of the Federal District Court "who issued a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of a May 28 order halting all floating offshore drilling projects in more than 500 feet of water and preventing the government from issuing new permits for such projects.
Citing the economic harm to businesses and workers in the gulf caused by the moratorium, Judge Feldman — a 1983 appointee of President Ronald Reagan — wrote that the Obama administration had failed to justify the need for the sweeping suspension, which he characterized as “generic, indeed punitive.”
He wrote that “the blanket moratorium, with no parameters, seems to assume that because one rig failed and although no one yet fully knows why, all companies and rigs drilling new wells over 500 feet also universally present an imminent danger.”
Was this so hard for President Obama to realize? Does he know the harm he is doing to Louisiana, the United States and all of the people of the United States? Ok, this is about as political as I will get....back to writing about flowers, songs and good friends...
