Its not over yet, just wait till after the lame duck Dems voted out of office take their vengeance on America. Even if that were to happen, and it's debatable, we have the start of universal health, financial reform and quite possibly energy and immigration reforms...hell, he'll have done more in four years than most presidents do in 8...and he will have undone an awful lot of bush/republican damage in the process...not bad...i'll take it.

It turns out the judge is a slimebucket. LA reeks with corruption. I don't want any more of my money paying for any of the cleanup should that happens. Let LA stew in its own corrupt juices. Moratorium Case Judge Sold Exxon Stock This Week 26 June, 2010 Share\| According to documents released yesterday, the U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman, who rejected president Obama’s call to introduce a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling sold stock in Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) on the same day he issued his ruling. Notably, if the judge had agreed to the moratorium it would have affected the Exxon Mobil as well. According to Exxon spokeswoman Cynthia Bergman White, the company used a rig whose operations were suspended under the ban. Feldman's disclosure report shows that the Louisina judge owned eight energy-related investments including stock in Exxon. However, the documents showed that Feldman sold his stock in Exxon when he was hearing the oil spill case. Feldman also sold stock in the Switzerland-based company Transocean, that owned the drilling rig operated by BP. Feldman rejected Obama’s administration call for six-month moratorium arguing that government was wrong in assuming that because one rig exploded, others posed an imminent danger as well. Feldman also owns stock in Ocean Energy valued between $15,001 and $50,000. His other holdings include investments in Provident Energy Trust, El Paso Corp., Energy Transfer Equity, Basic Energy Services, Valero Energy Corp. and Crosstex Energy LP. According to the Associated Press more than half of the federal judges in districts, where majority of the Gulf oil spill-related lawsuits are pending are connected to the oil and gas industry financially. Under federal judicial rules, judges should not hear cases involving a company in which they are linked financially. Although Feldman has rejected the federal government’s plea, the government has appealed at U.S. Fifth Circuit, also located in New Orleans. usanewsweek.com
