He did promise to transform America didn't he:
Some of the 30-plus deepwater rigs that were in the Gulf of Mexico have moved to other markets, first because of a U.S. halt called last May after BP Plc's (BP.L: Quote) well blowout, and then because of the lack of permits once the moratorium was lifted.
Below are rigs contracted to work in the Gulf of Mexico that have been or will be moved to other regions.
...
* Ensco Plc (ESV.N: Quote) said on Dec. 1 that its newly built 8503 rig, under contracted with Cobalt, would work for Tullow Oil Plc (TLW.L: Quote) off French Guiana for three months. [ID:nN01131883]
* Pride International Inc's (PDE.N: Quote) newly built Deep Ocean Ascension, under contract with BP, is moving to the Mediterranean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico in the first quarter, according to the latest Pride fleet update.
* Noble Corp (NE.N: Quote) said on Jan. 27 that the Clyde Boudreaux would move to Brazil for a year at a knock-down rate of $290,000 per day to work for Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote), starting mid-April, and that it expected more to follow.

Those listed are just the recent moved rigs... the piece lists others that date back to July of last year.
Too bad no one is determining how many American jobs have gone away as the result of these actions. Republicans need to be trumpeting this and loudly.

Maybe we should walk like an Egyptian, start burning down the house, get up, stand up…we should all taking it to the streets with the crap this president is pulling.
Will the dollar have to be worthless, unemployment at 30%, the deficit tripled again before we’ve had enough?
How many more times…treat me the way ya’ wann’a do…
(References…anyone…Buelller…???)
Sorry, but I need the humor. It's either that or duct taping my head when it comes to this shiite.

It is pretty simple to understand if you just look and see. The proof is in the pudding....Actions speak louder than words. Obama or whomever the hell he is...is a died in the wool COMMUNIST. His mission is to do as much damage to this country as he can WHILE he can. Look at the people he hung around with. Nobody remembers him at Occidental college. Nobody remembers him at Columbia University. His picture never appeared in a yearbook. Why does a Harvard Graduate, from the Harvard Law School, become a Community Organizer and not take big jobs that pay an enormous amount of money. Why does he and his wife, whom are both Law School Graduates, not have a License to practice Law today? How was it that he visited Pakistan in 1981 when an American could not go there in 1981. Does he have another passport? Why does he have a social Security number that is issued for someone born in Conneticut? Finally why has he spent so much money fighting to keep his long form Birth Certificate hidden? Something is wrong people. Why have not the powers that be gone after him on these questions? Are we being taken over from within and everybody is just going to let this happen? In conclusion I will say this. When this great Country is turned over from the likes of Obama and whoever propped him up you can kiss the FREE WORLD GOODBYE. WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!

He promised fundamental change and I would say that is precisely what we are getting. A change down to the very fiber of this nation on all levels.
And yes, by the time he is finished, the damage may very well be irreparable.
And once the truth finally emerges as to Obamas birth and origin, it will be a moot point. And sad to say, even then those who railed the loudest will have larger worries and concerns as a result of this man.
The middle east is on the verge of complete combustion as we speak and there is no longer any force or fear behind the US capable of stopping it.
Carter began it thirty five years ago and in the interim we had staunched it, but now under Obama there is no stopping it.
Prepare to watch the blood bath in the middle east, then watch as it spreads to Europe. Next stop? Do the math.
