Don’t you think Obama will want to get in on this opportunity? As long as Big Government can control it, anyway. There’s too much opportunity there for him and I suspicion that he’s already on the prowl to make it happen. Thanks for the interesting backstory.

The government proved in Nevada (The Mustang Ranch) that it couldn't make money selling high-priced drinks and running a whorehouse. Really.
Do they think their "experts" can produce so much as a drop of oil without making a total mess of it? They don't have the people.
