| #8 an AP investigation found earlier this month that more than half the federal judges in the districts affected by the BP spill have financial ties to the oil and gas industry. Is this any different than the entire population of investors? Lots and lots of people have money in oil & gas related businesses, even if only through a mutual fund. |

| #7 Yesterday NPR did an interview with a faculty member of Tulane University where he detailed the number of job losses as a result of the drilling ban. He was conservative at 30,000. Today they added the caveat that Tulane received money from Chevron, thereby "invalidating" the man's conclusions. If you take money from oil, you are a liar. So that makes Obalooney a Liar. |

| #4 Obama is having to deal with lawsuits on all sides Given that President Obama was such an enthusiastic lawyer that he lectured part time on Constitutional law for the University of Chicago law school, he should be as happy as a pig in mud to have so many cases to ponder. |

| #3 Robert Gibbs said that the ruling will be appealed. Obama is having to deal with lawsuits on all sides; health care, immigration, gun laws. It is not a place an administration wants to find itself. Bodes well for the elections in November. |
