Salidczar did not find an energy project he did not like. He shut down oil shale in Colorado when he was a senator. They say he was a rancher form the western slope. I guess he has fantasies of returning the USA to the 1880’s. Lets buy some islands and reintroduce some of these anti civilization dwarfs back into cave life. They should be happy there.

Before the Clinton years and the rise of the totally-left RAT Party, "projection" was only seen on elementary school playgrounds.
Now it is common in left-wing politics as a means of establishing "moral relativism".

Fine. then let’s abandon deep water drilling if you think it so inherently unsafe. And open the gulf for shallow water drilling which makes better sense anyway.
Lead, join, or get the “F” out of the way!

There will be no drilling until gas is over $5.00 a gallon.

Salazar said. “We are frankly doing what’s right for America’s energy program.”
CRAP! That is a huge pant load.

Of course not...With “End User” gas pump prices going through $3.00 like a hot knife through butter, why the hell do anything about it now...Wait till the taxes (revenue) starts coming in on $4-$5 a gallon prices...
We Americans have lived too long with low gas prices, we need to suck it up and pay like the europeans do for their fuel...uhhhh, petrol...sorry...

Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
WHICH IS WHY WE IMPEACH.....
DERELICTION OF DUTY FOR NOT PROTECTING OUR BORDERS, GIVING NUCLEAR SECRETS TO AN ENEMY OF OUR CLOSEST ALLY, UNDERMINING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY THROUGH THE ECONOMY, ABANDONING ISRAEL, CALLING ALIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST TO STEP ASIDE WHILE REMAINING QUIET FR OUR EMEMIES, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...
IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!!!!!!!

This is not “political.” They have been ordered twice by the courts to start issuing permits again. So I’d say they plan to continue with their defiance, and we shall see if anybody has the courage to confront them on it.
Obama and his minions simply refuse to do anything they are told either by the legislature or the courts. We have an out of control executive. (The other word for that is “dictator.”)

There's one thing that no one is talking about. Oil that's pulled out of the ground here will go to the highest bidder, not the lowest. It will however help to bring global prices down both through increased supply and competition.
I suspect an announcement that we were opening up vast areas to oil and gas production would bring an immediate drop in prices.

This is just rope a dope stall to further hobble the energy resources of the US and weaken the country generally. The left in the US is allied with Islamists and communists to try and destroy Western civilization.

One other thing, if I may, is that light sweet crude is found in the Gulf, another big reason to drill there.

It will only bring down the price if Middle East Oil in on the market and not tied up in war over the whole region. The Middle East is headed for all out war.

Only if the Middle East has war through out the whole region. That is the plan.
