Oil is up $25 per barrel today.
Locking out areas that we could drill in is not helping keep oil prices down.
Months ago a lot of us said that, if Congress would just get off its lazy a$$ and simply announce that they were going to start drilling, the price of oil would fall. Lo and behold, Bush issues his Executive Order and the price of oil fell from $145+ to $90 in less than two months. Well, you dummies, it works in reverse, too. If you sit there with your thumb up your a$$ and announce that you will not allow drilling the OCS, ANWR, or all federal lands, the price is going to go up. Now, FOR ONCE, do what right for the country and forget your sorry self-interest and start drilling...NOW!!
