Obama visit to take credit for drilling - shuts down oilfieldssoitgoesintexasUploaded by on Mar 20, 2012
A voicemail message left by the Bureau of Land Management gives oil producers 24-hr notice of an Obama rig visit for campaign/pr speech. A 900 square mile area is to be evacuated and all oil field activity shut down. How ironic - let's shut the oil industry down because we are coming to take credit for encouraging it. Who are they kidding?

Obama visits oil rig for PR speech and shuts down all oilfield activities for 900 square miles
President Obama is scheduled to make an energy policy speech (campaign speech) tomorrow at an oil rig near Carlsbad, New Mexico. The speech is to convince Americans that his administration has been promoting exploration and drilling, when in reality, he has waged an all out war on the petroleum industry since his inauguration.
Obama has stalled off-shore drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico, increased regulation on the industry through the EPA, tried to take away tax incentives for increasing domestic drilling, tried to impede hydraulic fracing, denied the Keystone pipeline, etc., etc.
Now to make his public relations speech, his administration gave our nation's energy producers 24-hour notice that all activity within a 900 square mile area has to be shut down and evacuated for his politically motivated photo op.
You have a multi-million dollar drilling operation underway? Shut it down.
You have a ruptured gas line? You can't get there.
Trying to get supply in or out? No can do.
Are you an oil field worker paid by the hour or the day? Too bad.
I got a hold of this audio recording of the voicemail message left for an oil and gas producer in the area regarding the 24-hour notice to evacuate.
But don't blame the poor messengers, blame their boss.[/blockquote]
