The president is holding a live press conference in the Rose Garden @ 10:30 (eastern) to make very public his desire that we DRILL. He will ask Congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling in coastal US waters.
Actually, where I was growing up in the mountains, there were no gas lines, since everything we needed at that time was nearby and we were largely self-sufficient, being good hillbillies with big gardens and livestock.
In other words, down the Memory Hole.
"intelligent Americans" - THERE'S a short list for you.
Besides, "Celebrity Dancing with the American Idols who Want to be Millionaires on the next Oprah" is on....
I have the whole speech on videotape.
Sign Newt's American Solutions petition HERE
Fox interviewed a Republican congressman afterwards and he said they want to give the states the option to drill however close to the shoreline its citizens determine they want to - up to 50 miles out.
He said that the oil companies have never done any soundings that far out and believe that there is 3-4 times more oil out there than their most conservative estimates.
Go to the FoxNews web site and get the exact interview. I don't have the time to transcribe it from my videotape. bttt
I agree wholeheartedly with what you saying about the long-term making of the problem, and Bush 41 and Clinton’s culpability. But my point was that Bush 43 should have done this on September 12, 2001, with public opinion on a 90% war footing, with Republicans in charge of Congress. Instead, he told us to go shopping at the mall, and then did nothing on the energy front.
Thanks for posting this map- perspective is interesting.
I think the idea is to START DRILLING SOMEWHERE period, then ANWR will follow. Once it gets going, and people see the prices start to drift downward, there will be a veritable SCREAM to drill straight through the caribou and polar bears’ heads to get oil if they’re in the way.
The Komrades in the Dem party know this - they will resist it. Once again, the equation is - Whatever is BAD for America is GOOD for the DemoCom Party; whatever is GOOD for America is BAD for the Dems.
‘Bout sums it up. They are the Treason Party, and have been for the last 60 years (since FDR - and maybe even Wilson).
I’m still waiting for our side to call them by name and take them to task on this point...
Heck, I seem to remember that in the early 1990s hatchback Hondas and Geos got 50+ miles per gallon on the open highway. Have the car manufacturers forgotten how to build these?

Thank you for one of the few reasoned posts I've seen on any thread today.
Sorry, you wasted so much time posting all that but I just posted the facts...if the truth bothers you, that’s your problem. LMAO
No, he can't. Though many of the posters on this thread believe or are pretending that "everyone knows" it's that easy.
Instead of throwing it down, I’d much prefer that he use that steel gauntlet to b*itch-slap the snot out of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi...
But that’s hoping for too much.
You’re very welcome...
Like I always say “if you’re gonna dance, ya gotta pay the band!” LOL
And I would like to see CA & the USA eliminate the income tax and replace it with a sales tax. If you guys can operate without a state income tax, no reason why we can’t too!
Sure, I know that. BUT it broadcast into NYC, MA CT NH and VT!
Not sure if that was a slam or a compliment.
Regardless, I was a business/economics major, and have been in corporate production planning since 1972.
Certainly those of us not directly involved in the energy sector do not have all of the answers or solutions down to the gnat's eyelash; but conceptually, simple logic should lead us towards an obvious course of action addressing the current issues. And have learned lessons so that they do not occure again in the future.
The guy who said, "Those who have not studied history are doomed to repeat it," nailed it.
Sorry for the ranting but I'm so annoyed at the dumb mindless statements made by people being paid $160k+ who don't understand simple economics and planning.
O'Reilly is at the top of the idiot list. Did anyone hear him last night? "We need oil, not food."
Too bad O'Reilly's webmail would intercept this message:
It’s a start. If I were president we’d also be putting those ANWR caribou on the grill.
I was slamming the politicians. You are on point. Thanks.
