How much $$$ did Bandon Oil and Gas contribute to President Hussame's campaign?
"Federal regulators approved Wednesday the first new Gulf of Mexico oil well since President Barack Obama lifted a brief ban on drilling in shallow water, even while deepwater projects remain frozen after the massive BP spill.
The Minerals Management Service granted a new drilling permit sought by Bandon Oil and Gas for a site about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana and 115 feet below the ocean’s surface."

Not quite as much as they gave to the G0P. I’ll fetch you a nice link in a second.
Straight from this article —>http://climateprogress.org/2010/05/25/pa…
"So far in 2010, the oil and gas industries have contributed $12.8 million to all candidates, with 71% of that money going to Republicans. During the 2008 election cycle, 77% of the industry’s $35.6 million in contributions went to Republicans, and in the 2008 presidential contest, Republican candidate Sen. John McCain received more than twice as much money from the oil and gas industries as Obama: McCain collected $2.4 million; Obama, $898,000."

What part of after the ban was lifted that you do not understand. Do you want the ban to stay in place or do you just want to criticize President Obama for something?
