Jobs for the oil spillers.

I see that some local officials in Louisiana are pissed at Barack Obama. For declaring a 6-month moratorium on further deep sea drilling for oil. Heard one of 'em tonight say that it's perfectly safe. As long as it's done right. And that the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was due to negligence and incompetence. And that otherwise, it's perfectly safe. The local officials bemoan the fact that oil rig workers may be without jobs during the moratorium. And that'll hurt the economy. Interesting, isn't it? Jobs seem to be more important than protecting the environment. Anyway, laid-off oil rig workers can always find jobs. Cleaning up their oil spills. It'll take years and years. --Jim Broede
