Sharky:

It now appears that Obama is conspiring against the US population in a massive move to further de-industrialize the USA. This has been apparent in two moves with respect to the US oil Industry. First, a moratorium of oil production from deepwater sources combined with plans to levy massive taxes on the production of US oil producers.

Secondly, he signed a long term deal for 2 billion dollars with Brazil to buy oil oil from their rising production and import it.

This all amounts to nothing more than a traitorous design to disadvantage US industry while rewarding US competitors with the oil production we need and could be produced utilizing known American petroleum resources in the Bakken, coastal waters, Alaska, and of course the Oil Sands. Not to mention employing US workers in high paying jobs. Instead, due to cessation of GOM deepwater production we have put an additional 40,000 people out of work.

To steal the title of a book from the 1960's, "None Dare Call It Treason"!
