Americans won a big one yesterday:
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A judge on Friday threw out Obama administration rules that sought to slow down expedited environmental review of oil and gas drilling on federal land.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal ruled in favor of a petroleum industry group, the Western Energy Alliance, in its lawsuit against the federal government, including Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
The ruling reinstates Bush-era expedited oil and gas drilling under provisions called categorical exclusions on federal lands nationwide, Freudenthal said.
The provision allows energy companies to bypass some environmental regulations when they can show they will disturb very little in the area and environmental review has already been done.
Regulations put in place under Obama, as we all know, were designed to severely curtail or halt drilling.
Screw the environment!!!!!
Screw Obama!
Screw the 62 million Americans that voted for America’s downfall by electing that . . . .! (You know they did!)
Ha!

What with the Obamacare smackdown and now the onerous new drilling – or anti drilling – regulations foistered by this administration, it’s about time that the courts are saying NO.
To voters, Hope and Change meant something entirely different than what we’ve received from this Prez. Here’s Hoping for a big Change come 2012.
It is shaping up to be a great weekend! First, the courts are beating the stuffing out of our Communist/Liberal/Terrorist/Muslim president. Second, Rick Perry is going to run in 2012 and win. Third, I got to watch the Cowboys win last night. Fourth, Austin Powers is returning in a fourth movie! It just doesn’t get any better than that! Yeah Baby! Yeah!
Q does go to extremes, doesn’t he?
Environemental precautions have been met…but poltically charged measures to block energy production and boost energy prices have been averted…the American people win and Q screams, “Screw the environment!”…as if those approaching gas and oil drilling with common sense and adequate environmental care are eeeeevil Snidely Whiplash types.
Get real!
Frankly, I am shocked. This country needs to become energy independent and now we are actually allowing drilling in Wyoming! I thought the village idiots (as exemplified by Quentin Colgan’s latest drive-by lunacy) were running the show.
Times are a-chaaaaaanging.
