BP co-owns first deepwater drill permit since BP spill

Many years ago I saw Dick Morris on the O'Reilly Factor explain that liberals are slaves to tokenism, as in symbolism. The example he cited on the show was Jimmy Carter's 1980 Iranian embassy hostage rescue mission--he sent eight helicopters.

As for Carter's spiritual successor, President Obama, his tokenism is to slowly hand out Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling permits. As far as I'm concerned, the "permatorium" continues. As for those permits, would you believe that the first one issued has gone to a well co-owned by BP? It was the blowout of BP's Macondo that caused the largest oil spill in American history--and of course the permatorium.

Speed up the issuing of new permits. Drill here, drill now, pay less.
