YouTube Shows Cassidy’s Fight Against Obama Moratorium In House Committee

Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats have been berating the Republicans over extending jobless benefits for the unemployed.  Yet the House Democrats voted down an amendment to lift Obama’s unlawful ban on offshore drilling in the Gulf.  The Republicans want the Democrats to pay for the unemployment and the Obama and the Democrats refuse too.



Representative Bill Cassidy (R-LA) offered an amendment in the House Natural Resources Committee that would have overturned the Obamoratorium, stating that the May 30 and July 12 deepwater drilling bans “shall have no force or effect” and containing the following language:

“No Federal official may establish any general moratorium on or suspension of offshore oil and gas operations that is substantially similar to the moratorium, the decision memorandum, or any suspension referred to in subsection.”

Cassidy then addressed the committee by making the point that Louisiana’s economy is going to be devastated by the moratorium (it’s already happening), and that “To support this moratorium you have to ignore the evidence, the testimony of experts, and the ruinous consequences this irrational political decision will have on tens of thousands of Louisiana families.”

In the Natural Resources Committee, Cassidy fought against Obama's moratorium on offshore energy production with an amendment to overturn it legislatively. Opponents of Cassidy's amendment pointedly declined to answer for themselves when Cassidy questioned why they were following the advice of politicians Ken Salazar and Michael Bromwich, who between them couldn’t tell you the difference between an oil well and a wishing well, instead of independent scientists, who have argued against the moratorium.

Cassidy actually managed to get support for the amendment from Natural Resources committee chairman Nick Rahall (D-WV). Another Democrat, Jim Costa of California, also came aboard. But the amendment lost by a 22-26 vote, including five votes by supposedly “non-voting” delegates from places like American Samoa, the Northern Marianas, the Virgin Islands and Guam.  When did delegates gain the right to vote?

Ed Markey (D-MA), whose boss George Soros stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars off the moratorium thanks to his near billion-dollar investment in Petrobras voted against the moratorium.  Do you see anything wrong here?
