Right! He’ll trumpet this to high heaven until right after his re-election, and then yank the carpet from under us.

This man is Afro-Machiavellian.

Yeah. Right after the new nuke plant gets built in Georgia. And right after my insurance premiums go down $2500 a year. And right after there are no new middle class taxes. And right after the seas recede and the planet starts to heal.

Those areas have been closed to drilling since 1981 and have been renewed by every president since 1981. I doubt that Obama is going to open up these areas now.

Obamarama will ensure the drilling leases are awarded to a Muslim owned company.

It’s part of his plan to lure in repubs for cap & trade.

But it’s unclear whether this will allow significant drilling or not. I don’t trust Obama on this, and with good reason.

Hold the presses . . . but I sure won’t be holding my breath.

And that picture of the Obama and Sarkozy . . . they look like a freaky Batman & Robin nightmare

If it opened tomorrow and we were out of debt by Friday, I still wouldn’t vote for another freaking democrat. Until I’m satisfied that ALL marxist, communist, socialist, progressive, islamist freaks are outed, I’ll continue to vote conservative. Having said that, there’s no way that this student of marxism will do anything more then “paint a picture” and try to sell it to the majority of America opposed to every breath he takes.
