Same as his longstanding policy with the Wookie.
A swing and a miss.
Hopefully, it will only tie things up till next year.
Exploration is OK, but actually DRILLING (the only way to actually access the oil) is not?
Insanity (Actually - just more proof of Obama as a fraud and as anti-USA as any official in the Kremlin). Of course, stupid Americans will still vote for him because they are... well... stupid.
Just more misdirection
He's posturing for running against Romney by taking Romney's political talking points away by saying and not doing or doing and not saying.
Mitt has met his match!
Where I come from drilling is exploration. The only way to truly explore and find out if there are commercial quanities oil is to drill.
What is the point of exploration if no drilling or extraction ever comes of it?
Surprising little fact: There are pockets of oil in some of the geosynclines between the various mountain ranges in Nevada, which, though relatively small as oil fields go, are intensely productive on a per-acre basis. Because of the frequent seismic activity in the state, these pockets are sometimes very fragmentated, but the sheer wealth of a discovered pocket may make recovery highly profitable on the short-term.
Yiiipppeeee!!! The casino said they had no problem with me betting, playing and putting up the ante but they had a BIG problem with me winning. Should I play at that casino or walk?
Who gives a damn? I am just counting the days so I can go cast a vote to fire this miserable failure.
Election year pandering.
He’ll get no scrutiny from MSM over this, but even independent voters won’t be fooled.
Obama: “You’re Fired!”
Exploration, but no drilling?
Car, without gas.
Gun, without ammo.
Useless, all.
Didn’t he already do this in 2009? Or was it 2010, to pander to those naive enough not to check the follow-up? He has SAID all sorts of things to pander to the middle. He has not followed up on ANY!
That’s like having ice cream and not being able to eat it. BFD...
