Obama wants 15 Million Dollars for "Expert" Oil Commission


By Connie Hair, Human Events

The White House asked Congress late Wednesday for $15 million -- a whopping $2.5 million per month for six months -- to fund their expert commission of academics to study the Gulf oil-rig explosion and the disastrous spill that followed.

In a letter to Congress, which was obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, White House Budget Director Peter Orszag requested the money to fund the work of the “National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling.”

While tens of thousands are put out of work by Obama’s six-month Gulf deep water drilling moratorium -- and people lose generational legacies of work pulling their livelihoods out of the sea with their bare hands from fishing nets and crab traps -- the president is spending more money in a month on his academic commission to study the issue than any one of these hard working families will make in a lifetime of real work.
