I wonder if the Republicans in the Senate will have enough cojones to filibuster it.

[TexasRedeye]

The gambit by the President will force both houses of the Democrat-led Congress to vote before the elections on keeping the ban in place...

Finally, hehehehehehehe!!!!!!

[papasmurf]

I foresee a chicken livered Congress that might just let it expire without vote or comment. That would be the only way to avoid a political fight they can’t afford to lose at this time.

[isrul]

Well, at least it will now be a campaign issue. If there are any pubbies left with a spine and a brain, this should be advantageous, regardless of the liability at the top of the ticket.

[Vaquero]

Looks like good news.

can I buy that new Hummer yet?

Thanks for your input Kristinn. The President is doing the right thing.

[Rhetorical pi2]

Is this neat or what!!

I didn’t know this!!(The annual renewal...)

It’s going to be fun to watch the “perfect storm” of off-shore drilling. What a great time to get on the phone to Congress Critters and Sinators. (Spelling intentional).

[sloop]

i did not know this

if it is not renewed, on october 1, what would have to be done to start drilling? could the states ok the drilling?

i read that the department of the interior is involved somehow - that after they PAY for the lease (on those 58 or 68 or 100 million acres - it keeps inflating), they have to get a permit from the department of the interior - and that is a holdup - is that only for land owned (taken) by the federal government?

Flood Congress with your calls Tuesday July 15th

Tell your friends family neighbors and coworkers
Enough is Enough
Gov Palin is pleading with us to let Alaska do its part (yes even anwar)
Gov Palin has an 84% approval rating and what does congress have....oh yea, 9% and dropping rapidly
For our own financial and national security we must become more energy dependent (cant wait for Imanutjob and the bombs to start falling to make a decision)

CONTACT CONGRESS TUESDAY JULY 15TH
DRILL HERE - DRILL NOW!!!!

[RC2]

I’m sure it’s in the Constitution some where that we can’t drill for our own oil. Take this to the Supreme Court and have them prove that it’s in there.

[Cobraman_SC]

Let's keep up the pressure! Tell Congress to Drill For Oil Here!

[DrDeb]

Thank you for keeping us INFORMED . . . The President is always 2 steps ahead of the DIMs in Congress!

[Islander7]

How many times have we heard how stupid Bush is?

[TexasRedeye]

I’m sure Obama will renounce Bush for this before the day is over - after memorizing the democrat talking points issued by Pelosi and the DNC. No big deal. By tomorrow he’ll be for it saying he has “refined” his opinion.

[capt. norm]

Sounds like "W" is a pretty good chess/poker player.

The Dems will have to vote on this while their constituents, including liberals, are pi$$ed off about $4.00+ gasoline.

Pelosi and her pals are now in the hot seat.

[Dixie Yooper]

Regardless of the outcome, this is great material for the election campaigns unless the Republicans screw it up by not sticking together on this issue.

[Argus]

Strategery Lives!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Thank God!
