Oil Rigs Dumping Billions Of Gallons Of Fracking Waste Off California Coast With OK From Feds

74. It took a Democratic President to lift the ban on offshore drilling, AFTER slamming McCain

in the debates for wanting to lift it. At lease we knew not to vote for McCain. How do we know, ever again, that what a candidate says during a campaign, will not change, once we elect them?

I know what to expect from Republicans, I used to 'know' what to expect from Democrats, but we've learned the hard way, that campaign promises can be taken with a grain of salt from now on.

I remember the day when Obama made that announcement. He subtly slammed 'environmentalists' inplying they were living in the past, not aware of the new technology that made rigs so much safer, as his 'expert' advisers had informed HIM. They, environmentalists, he assured us, were not aware of the advances since that ban had been put in place. I admit to being speechless.

18 days later, 11 men lost their lives and the Gulf was environmentally destroyed for decades. I don't recall an apology but what good would it do anyhow.

So disgusted it's hard to express. This precious planet is all we have, the Dem Party was our only hope to try to protect our environment, what do we do now?
