Oil Moratoriam "Idiotic" Says Trace Adkins

Country music artist Trace Adkins responded when asked by Anderson Cooper in a recent interview what his views of the oil moratorium were, that it was "idiotic," and the same as "kicking a man when he was down."

Adkins, who used to work on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for six years, noted the terrific record of the oil companies in the region, and cited the restrictions which force oil companies to drill out in that deep of water as probably part of the reason for the disaster, as the oil companies have far more control in shallow water drilling than in deep.

It's incredible that Obama and the Democrats don't get this. They can't seem to put their heads around the fact that they are doing more harm to the people of the Gulf with the moratorium, as the jobs lost will be substantial, and it is all sorts of supportive businesses, not just the oil workers alone which will suffer.
