And don't forget the USA's slimy Republican energy traitors who won't allow oil companies to drill off the coast of Florida. Heaven forfend some pantywaist tourist should see an oil rig; he might faint from shock!

You are 100 percent correct. There is absolutely NO excuse for the federal government NOT to be drilling the living daylights out of ANWR, offshore resources, and declaring those resources a national security asset and preventing any foreign interest from laying their paws on them.

If America has oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or off our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, or in ANWR in Alaska, (and we do) it is incompetence and stupidty at it's worst NOT to be getting that oil into the hands of Americans, instead of allowing the OPEC nations to influence our foreign policy by blackmail, either subtle or blatant.
