NY Times "The moratorium left 33 deepwater drilling rigs idle in the gulf, and the resulting loss of jobs engendered some anger in the region. Senator Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat, has blocked the confirmation of Mr. Obama’s nominee to run the Office of Management and Budget, Jack Lew, saying she would not allow the nomination to go forward until the moratorium was eased.
"For their part, environmentalists have called on the White House to extend the freeze on deepwater drilling and extend it to shallow-water drilling as well."
Drill, Baby Drill "So - do they manage to firther(sic) irritate their base by lifting the ban but not placate drillers as they drag their feet on permits? Based on the current track record of the Administration that has to be the bet." JustOneMinute
