because they are being loaned $1 billion from the U.S Government for off shore oil drilling my Pemex which is a Mexican state oil company. Another billion was loaned last year.

Environmentalism be damned! The U.S. even supports off-shore drilling by Brazil...

And since the lefties are circle jerking around George Soros and his $100 million donation... he invested $811 million in Petrobas... shortly before congress approved the first $2 billion commitment in this case.

I guess there is good money to be made supporting the democrats. Unless of course you are an oil worker in the U.S.

If you want the oil, you gotta put up with the risks. The US public clearly don't like the risks, so this is what you get.

People cry that there needs to be more regulation... something you will not get with mexico or brazil. Getting rid of regulations can be pretty cheap in Mexico. Especially with a billion in cash.

No, the media over blows the risk just like they did with Nuclear after 3 mile island making the public against things. The risk is quite minimal compared to the risk of drilling in other countries.

See the thing is if Mexico does it and the well blows up the oil goes to their shore, if we do it and blows, it comes to our shore, will it not?

So Obama is giving our wealth away to Mexico and Brazil. Meanwhile, we're stuck at 9.6% unemployment and he's trying to raise taxes. AGAIN! How outrageous can it get? Pretty soon, we'll be as worthless as Canada.

A major oil spill in 1979 that occurred 62 miles from the Mexican coast sent oil all the way to Texas.
