BREAKING NEWS: Obama administration says it will cancel 77 drilling leases near Utah parks

[GoCards]

Isnt that what he wants, so they can shove bikes and scooters our way to save the planet from global warming.

[Theodore R.]

Maybe it’s UT’s reward for keeping Orrin G. Hatch there and adding a Democrat to the House delegation.

[SpinnerWebb]

$40.31 barrel

ping for next week.

[shadeaud]

He wanted $5 a gallon and he's on his way to fullfill his dream

[pollywog]

can we say “ dependance on foriegn oil?”!!!!!!! WE ARE LOSING OUR LAND FOLKS!!!! AMERICA IS DYING!!!!

[Constitution Day]

FYI

[Frantzie]

O’s payback to the Saudis. We could reboot our economy with energy exploration in the USA. This is the ONLY way to pay off all this debt. We have 4 times the Saudis oil reserves in the lower 48 states onshore.

[Secret Agent Man]

Don’t take it out on your body. Go to the target range, better yet find a practical shooting group and join.

Besides, if you blow out your liver, you may have to rely on the upcoming DMV/IRS healthcare system they may set up.

[easternsky]

Pay back to Utah for Prop 8 donations.

[meyer]

This will help send fuel prices up by Summer, I’m sure.

Higher crude prices will certainly help his supporters abroad...

[freedomlover]

And how many folks lose their jobs over this? I guess layoffs are okay whe The One initiates them.

He’s got to make good on Nancy’s promise

[Badeye]

Same here, which is why I’m thinking ‘what will it be next week’.

[mom-7]

This guy is dangerous. When gas goes back to $4.00 a gallon, are the ones that put him in office going to blame Bush?

[bergmeid]

That’s exactly what I want to know. Is it time to take to the streets yet?

[MeanWestTexan]

Follow the money.

A lease is a contract. These contracts were entered in at high oil prices, now shown to be unwise.

To get out of the contract, the USA gives the money back, generally with a penalty.

This is a payoff to politically connected folks.

The chief liberal connected domestic oil company after Oxy?

EOG

Enron Oil & Gas

[Indy Pendance]

When bambi comes for our guns, I believe that’s going to be the trigger. People are stocking up on ammo, plus first time gun owners. Have you seen the on line ammo sites? There’s a lot of ‘out of stock’ when I was looking. Us bitter clingers are ready.

[Blue Turtle]

Since the stimulus package is FAILING...and the Global Warming Science being proven wrong...might as well shut down the oil that helps us run.

[pollywog]

We all need to get “ DRILL HERE! DRILL NOW” Bumper stickers on our cars!!!

[avacado]

Purely cosmetic to satisfy the moonbats. I am sure that the oil companies have already figure out that those areas are dry holes and don't even want the leases.
