Judge Denies Obama Administration's Request For Stay On Deepwater Drilling Moratorium, Another Attempt Coming

ALL of Obama's plans are somehow restricted by this nebulous thing known, by some, as POLITICS.



If Obama tried to stop offshore drilling, he would be blocked. So, he could waste his time showing that he agrees with people like you, or he could waste his time trying to negotiate something that will actually pass.



The difference is that compromising might result in SOMEthing being done, however trivial, while standing on an extreme principal will accomplish nothing better than losing any overtures of support from the GOP now and for the extended future.

==================================



We would all get a lot done if we caved to conservatives' demands, ended all government services, handed the Pentagon a blank check to wage whatever wars it wanted, both foreign and domestic.



Obama has a nasty habit of conceding that which isn't his to concede. Obama cuts secret deals, out of oversight of the American people, literally and figuratively (Congress).



I've yet to find one issue on which Obama shares the values or beliefs of Democratic voters' interest groups; not environmentally, not on foreign or domestic policy, nothing. Obama would live quite contentedly in a Republican-ruled world. He's a DINO.



So for Obama to be negotiating on behalf of different left-leaning interest groups is something of a stacked deck. It would be like you playing against yourself in chess. That's not how fair negotiations take place, or how lasting contracts that everyone can abide by happen.
