President Obama announced on national television recently that he was looking for an ass to kick. Well, it seems he found one, the State of Louisiana.
During his address this week to the nation from the Oval Office, the President made clear that he will not offer real help to the struggling people of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. In his speech, he presented no specific action plans and instead relied on lame platitudes. In contrast, he made clear his support for a destructive national energy tax and a horrible cap-and-trade energy bill, which will devastate Louisiana’s economy. Obama is using the tragedy of the oil spill to further his political agenda, all at the expense of Louisiana jobs.
To make matters worse, the President has issued a six-month moratorium on offshore drilling in deep water, which will cost Louisiana 154,000 good paying jobs, according to Sen. David Vitter (R.-La.). Incredibly, the President told Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph that his plan for those losing their jobs is to “put them on unemployment.” This is not a strategy for recovery; it is a prescription for the destruction of Louisiana.
