I’ll believe it when a drillbit actually grinds into the earth.

Here's the story: 1.8M acres of Alaska drilling leases go up for bid

It's just the North Slope, where they've been drilling since the 1970s. It's not ANWR.

Can we use Senator Byrd's stiff corpse as the drill bit?

He probably heard they need it to keep Air Force One flying- doubt he wants to do without THAT-!

“.....the FOX ticker that said Obama will allow.....”

Confused! Whatever happened to the United States Congress?

And which oil company will win the bid to blow up the site and cause decades worth of loss and devastation? /s (not really)

I may be wearing my tin-foil beanie, but I wouldn’t put such evil past the POS Barry the Magical, and thereby he’d give Sarah trouble in her backyard, take her mind off the elections and such.

Do I get the Viking Kitties for such conspiracy thoughts??

I completely agree.

“He will allow” means that - even if true - Obama is deciding everything he can get his hands on.

What is happening is in another country, not my own.

It is not Federal land, it is State of Alaska administered land.

They’ve been drilling there for decades, Obama has graciously agreed to “allow” it to continue - awfully big of him.

The extra-terrestrials use ANWR. We must stay away or risk doom.
