I don’t think any drilling can take place unless Congress also lifts the ban.

WASHINGTON — The White House says President Bush is planning to lift an executive ban on offshore oil drilling. In a Rose Garden statement on Monday, the president plans to lift the ban. But by itself, the move will not lead to more drilling off America's coastline.

Congress must still lift its own legislative ban before offshore drilling can happen.

White House press secretary Dana Perino says Bush is acting now in hopes of spurring Congress to act. So far, lawmakers have shown no interest in doing so.

Well, gee, I didn’t know he could do that. So I wonder why this wasn’t done yesterday?

The first executive order was issued by Bush 41, then extended by Clinton and Bush 43, until this flip-flop.

Since the GOP willingly allows the DNC to define Republicans as evil Oil swindlers, there is no surprise the Bush 41 and 43 went along with this self defeating policy. Too late now, the rats run the ship.

I don’t think this will do much without congressional action as well.
