By that time, Obama will be a lame duck, and President elect Romney will be preparing to do much more to get the energy ball rolling.
An auction on November 28. Wanna bet that this never comes to pass so long as Obummer is in office?
” “The President’s commitment to a comprehensive, all-of-the-above energy strategy is creating jobs here at home while reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. “
Somebody should wake up Kenny Salazar and tell him that he’s 3 years and 11 months late !!
Then we will hear of Zero’s remade-up history in 8 years when he tells us of how he boosted American energy production.
Don’t forget that the American public is used to its news and history in 2 minute sound-bytes .
"OFFERS" ? !
“the Interior Department today announced an oil and gas lease sale”
An 11th hour campaign promise, to be met with a hold by Obama’s EPA on November 7th.
And then on Nov 7, assuming this bribe works, EPA will “invite” evirowhack groups to sue them to “force” them to declare it “insufficiently studied”; then pay their legal fees, as well as give them some tax dollars as “damages”.
EPA/WH probably already has the groups pre-selected and onboard.
Obama reminds me of an irresponsible, lazy kid, who doesn’t do his homework the entire semester, and has to cram for an exam the night before. No economic plan after the first 4 years? No problem! Here’s this 20 page brochure hot off the presses! The sequester for the military on January 1st that Obama imposed during the negotiation with Republicans is unpopular? No problem. Obama says it’s not going to happen during the 3rd debate...until Plouffe walks the comment back right afterwards. People can clearly see that he’s declared war against the oil and gas industry by rejecting applications for leases? No problem. Here’s a bunch of land to be leased, declared less than 2 weeks before the election. He’s just flying by the seat of his pants! He looks smaller and smaller every day.
I am not a fan of Obama nor his administration, just a fan of the actual facts. So please don't take the following as a show of support for Obama. I am just trying to keep FReepers informed on this topic.
The 5 year plan including this lease sale was submitted in June and approved in August. It is not a last minute change.
There have been GOM offshore lease sales on:

Since at least 1980, the Feds have used a 5 year plan to give advance notice of upcoming sales. At the link below are the past seven 5 year plans. Sometimes that plans are updated and new one released prior to the completion of the current plan.
