I just called the WH and left a message saying how glad I am that President Bush is doing this.

Very true. People vote their pocketbooks except in time of war. We got both issues, rightcheeah. It’s the economy, stupid.

This is going to help Republican candidates for the House and Senate enormously in their campaigns.

Obama is undoubtedly deftly shifting ground on this issue as we speak. He has to. He's been so opposed to drilling he probably doesn't even go to the dentist.

Good for you! Its time we do the same thing we did durring the amnesty fiasco. That even caused McCain to change his mind. Sort of.

When I called, it was a guy who sounded like a bored teenager and didn’t understand my southern accent.

Republican politicians should stop refering to it as ANWR or as having 10 billion barrels of oil. They should say "We have 1.45 trillion dollars worth of oil sitting in Alaska".

Boy do we need a communicator in our party.

How long will it be before the first environmental suit is filed in Federal Court?”

Got to have the Federal court so the rats can claim they want to, but.....

This could have been done, what, seven years ago???

Seven years ago the massive increase in the price of oil had not begun. Oil was still cheap.

I know and sadly McCain isn’t much better. I wish we had Bobby Jindahl. He is a great communicator. Maybe in 2012. I just hope America lasts that long.

Today it does to you and me. But trying to recover from the 1998~1999 which was still have effects on us in 2003, it was hard to see it in our crystal balls.

It almost certainly would have helped the industry recover or keep from falling so far. It probably would have helped keep down the peak pricing.

But so few oil companies had much of any capital to spend back then, it may not have made much difference.

But I suspect the government hiring out the survey crews would have kept the blood letting from getting so bad.

Well, it seems that Cantwell’s office is the only one who wanted to argue with a voter. The other two congressmen’s offices I called just took down my comments and promised to pass them along. More people here in Washington state need to flood Cantwell’s office with calls and get her attention as to just what the will of the people is!!

The liberal environmentalists will sue and take the case to the 9th Circuit, where they will get an injunction against offshore drilling (Because it “Harms the Whales” or some other excuse).
