BS, drilling can begin and a sizable amount can be delivered within 8 weeks, PLUS we are only using a partial amount of oil from the North Slope, even with its age showing in some recent shutdowns the Alaska Pipeline is only delivering I think off the top of my head 1/4th of what it can do.

And right now in the middle of winter is the PRIME time to drill, the ground is frozen, the ice roads can support the weight, all it takes is the GREEN light to GO!

The White Hut Dictsurpator MUST be forced to open up offshore drilling...NOW.

Gas is already over $3.50 a gallon in Alaska,and about $3.85 for diesel, very soon it will be $4.50 a gallon for regular in Hawaii.

And electric cars won’t be the answer, they will be like spraying mace on a person on fire.

Until the American public starts demanding leaders go like Tunisia, Egypt, et al then little will change.

The American public is incredibly docile - it’s all the HD brainwashing from TV.

The only way the White Hut Dictsurpator (LOL) will budge is if his poll numbers drop precipitously in the next six to twelve months.
If oil prices do indeed cause the economy to look like it will collapse and Prez Stymie does nothing to allay it then I'd say Mrs Palin would be especially sitting pretty leading up to 2012. What other candidate can claim to have been vociferously advocating "drill, baby, drill" for the last few years?
Let's see how those Independent voters feel when they are canceling vacations, new purchases, and eating soup six days a week just to have money to buy fuel.
I'd think they would cozy right up to Mrs Sarah Palin come election day.
