President Barack Obama announced today his administration would pursue to expand offshore drilling (Reuters):

President Barack Obama will announce on Wednesday he will stick with a Bush-era plan to drill oil and natural gas off the coast of Virginia but will not pursue energy development in waters off the U.S. Northeast and the West Coast that were recently opened to drilling.

Obama, who wants Congress to move a stalled climate change bill, has sought to reach out to Republicans by signaling he is open to allowing offshore drilling, providing coastlines are protected. Allowing offshore drilling also would create jobs and reduce U.S. long-term dependence on foreign oil.

More sneaky, crooked crap from the Kenyan...does he ever do anything straight and honest?

[TigersEye]

When did he say that? I just posted that an hour ago. I guess it’s pretty obvious.

Seems to me these two could knock Obama's Marxist/Muzzie a$$ out of the White House in 2012

Instead of doing it for the right reason, reduce U.S. long-term dependence on foreign oil and create jobs, he does
it as a barganing chip. Ba$tard.

What no one appears to be asking is how does this magnanimous gesture square with Dear Leader's Enviro-Nut Int. Secretary Salazar's order just last week to impose a moratorium for 3 years on all offshore drilling?

Moonbat Salazar also blocked drilling on public lands in Utah.

In addition, the FASCIST Community Agitator, while throwing a phony sop to the few RINO's such as Twinkle Toes Grahamnesty, removed from drilling several key areas in Alaska.

IF anyone for one minute believes this LYING, two-faced, HATE-AMERICA, Capitalism-Destroying, wannabe King of the World is serious about wanting us to become "energy independent" or has ANY intention of seeing well one drilled during his administration, I've got some nice swamp land I'd like to sell, cheap!

ALL A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS to distract everyone and take the focus off his Death Care!!!

...another bait and switch from zero and his minions...lifting this means absolutely nothing in the short term and little in the long term. More bovine secretions from this bunch of weasels!
