My first guess is that there isn’t any oil there.

Something smells?

Maybe the areas don’t have proven and economically proven reserves.

President Cruz will reverse all these foolish actions, so I couldn’t care less what this dolt does or doesn’t do.

Yup...my first thought as well or the oil is so deep and hard to get, nobody will be willing to drill...

My second thought it was a political move to give cover to Senate democrats when Keystone comes up to vote and they need cover to not override his veto,...

With the price of oil as low as it is now, no one will be interested.

Soros is a big investor in Brazilian oil drilling off-shore ventures. I bet when we look through this that Soros gets a taste.

If this TRULY is what it appears, we should all give him a little credit for doing SOMETHING good. (first damn time I’ve ever seen it happen lol)

Keystone/ANWR...look, a squirrel!

Of course, this could also be an Obamapledge, meaning a pledge that the pledger never intends to fulfill.

Something definitely smells. My guess is he is not doing it to benefit this country. He has an ulterior motive, and that will play out in the end.

OK, so who is going to invest in drilling for new oil with the prices so low as they are? This asshat is being cute with this. He’s sayin’ OK, I’ll allow drilling for oil now when nobody wants to so he can blame them for not drilling.

Childish, condescending, lowlife.

I would bet very large sums of money, there is an alternative nefarious reason for this..

Obama Opens areas for exploration .....BUT...... with regulations so thick any developer would laugh.. with a Curly(howard) salute..

That way Obama gets cudos for opening and cudos for un-opening..
Amazing how many will miss the subtly of this..

Not really THAT subtle but many are quite DULL...
