Obama sticks his toe in the “Drill Baby Drill door now. The Republicans should slam the door shut cuz he aint serious in the least. If you are serious about anything you jump in with both feet methinks.
That whole “drilling” thing was a media-promoted farce. He actually permanently closed off areas that had been under exploration before (Alaska), closed off the richest areas (California), and announced that in couple of limited areas “seismic exploration” (not drilling) would begin in the next few years - including one area whose state has already passed a law to prevent drilling there.
Anybody who believes he is permitting drilling had better read the fine print. Besides, tomorrow or the next day he is supposed to issue an executive order enforcing a “CO2 controls system” through the EPA that is essentially cap and trade...without even having it go through Congress.
