Of course they are. The Obama Administration will block, prevent, avoid, have a moratorium against, and eliminate as many domestic oil wells as possible. Thats his plan to hurt America and make America dependent on other nations. A lizard has a higher priority than American citizens.
Losing jobs because of a lizard is people losing the ability to support their families. Don't human beings count as an important species that need to be protected. If Bill X dies from lack of work starvation, isn't Bill X now extinct? There is nobody else quite like Bill X. Bill X is unique and gone forever. Too bad Bill X is not a lizard, then he would be protected?
