Title: U.S. Backs $1B Loan to Mexico for Oil Drilling Despite Obama Moratorium

Despite President Obama's moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company's oil drilling in the region.

The bank, which is the official American export credit agency, loaned more than $1 billion to PEMEX in 2009 -- when the company was the bank's largest borrower -- in support of its drilling activities. That year, the bank also guaranteed two loans totaling $300 million made by a commercial lender.

The latest request comes during a drilling moratorium that was first imposed by Obama in May to find out what was the cause behind the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP's undersea well.

After a federal court struck down the ban amid complaints that it threatened thousands of jobs in the offshore oil industry, the Obama administration issued a new moratorium in July on most deep-water drilling activities that is in effect until Nov. 30.

I agree CG.
Here we are, suffering with a crippled economy, high unemployment, a ballooning deficit, a housing/banking crisis, and we give a billion dollar loan to Mexico to help them drill in the same waters that the imposter put a moratorium on?!?! :mental: Something's not right. :censored:

Soros is behind this, of course, pulling his strings again:

The Mexian government takes the profits from Pentex and uses them to pay for their social programs after the ruling class does a little personal wealth enhancement. They're as corrupt as Obama.

Yes. I do believe he has some stake in that Petrobra oil company as well.
