Experts Say White House 'Misrepresented' Views to Justify Drilling Moratorium

Editor’s Note – Once again, this administration has proven that the ‘ends justifies the means’ when it comes to advancing it’s Progressive agenda.  Truth and honesty be damned!

Experts Say White House ‘Misrepresented’ Views to Justify Drilling Moratorium

The seven experts who advised President Obama on how to deal with offshore drilling safety after the Deepwater Horizon explosion are accusing his administration of misrepresenting their views to make it appear that they supported a six-month drilling moratorium — something they actually oppose.

Salazar’s report to Obama said a panel of seven experts “peer reviewed” his recommendations, which included a six-month moratorium on permits for new wells being drilled using floating rigs and an immediate halt to drilling operations.

“None of us actually reviewed the memorandum as it is in the report,” oil expert Ken Arnold told Fox News. “What was in the report at the time it was reviewed was quite a bit different in its impact to what there is now. So we wanted to distance ourselves from that recommendation.”

Salazar apologized to those experts Thursday.
