If he was REALLY serious, he would declare our oil to be a matter of Strategic National Security and open drilling by presidential order.

He has that authority under existing laws that grant that very same authority to ... Saudi Arabia and all of OPEC.

That is how OPEC is allowed to operate a monopoly in restraint of trade, contrary to all international trade laws that pertain to everyone else who has not done so.

You won't like that precedent so much when Barry Obama declares it a matter of Strategic International Security to cap carbon emissions by presidential order.
