I’m not sure what would happen, but .. exposing the agents (erm, agencies) of the Executive branch to lawsuits could get interesting, especially since Obama has guaranteed himself a hostile SCOTUS…

what does Obama do when his massive drilling shutdown drops Gulf refineries throughput, in short order, from high 90′s down to 90%, then 85% – then the price of a bbl of oil recaptures a $20 fear premium on top of a following- up 15% increase in world mkt price of oil -in very short order no less – in high summer drive time in the US – in simple language this means $4/gal+ at the pump PDQ. And no not just in Louisiana; in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and lots of other Blue places. Is there no one in this man’s circle in the WH to tell him of his madness to his face, for the sake of the country? The very last thing this economy needs right now, is an energy price spike shocking its way through the system. We’re talking macro-economics here, this all plays out to the worse unaffected by whether they cap Deepwater Horizon well or not. It’s like we don’t have a President, we have a mad Roman Emperor raging and foaming at the mouth.

The oil producers are still leaving…..

SO in one respect Obama is getting what he wants.

I am afraid with all of the funky business that Obama
is doing behind the curtain it will be hard to re-gain
the confidence of oil producers in the future.

Until the Dept. of Energy, OSHA, and the EPA get
some kind of rational people in place – it may be lights out
for millions of Americans. And this is what it may take to
push those folks away from the progressives and the socialists.
