That’s rather funny, I left a message on The White House comment line last week with concerning to an executive order opening those areas for drilling.

I quoted Paul Begala, “A swipe of the pen and it’s the law of the land, kinda cool”

When he was looking for his legacy.

“This will make the greenies turn red.”

They’ll sue. This will be locked up in court for years, at least until the right people see it for what it truly is. It’s a national security issue.

..while we're on a roll...

"Excuse me, but by buying oil from OPEC, we have been paying for the WOT on BOTH ENDS for DECADES!"

You are probably quite unaware of the massive lay offs in the energy industry at the beginning of this century. That's ok.

So if the oil companies aren’t going to drill anyway, why do the Dummiecraps care if the environmental ban on drilling is lifted? What’s driving their opposition if not the environmental lobby? Are they just trying to punish hard working Americans with unaffordable gasoline?

Congress must still lift its own legislative ban before offshore drilling can happen.

The nation's Watermelons (green on the outside,red on the inside) will spit fire.

[spacejunkie]

what’s happening w/ the price of oil right now?

[flyfree]

Congress must still lift its own legislative ban before offshore drilling can happen. The president’s executive order is an adjunct to congress’ ban. It really will do nothing. Congress needs to act.

[beckysueb]

Both my Senators are Republicans and are solidly behind drilling but I am going to call just to say thank you and encourage them.

Crude future is at 145.60 up .52

Good news, but I doubt anything will come out of it.

[Eddie01]

This could have been done, what, seven years ago???

Poor leadership on this issue, no excuses.

[dearolddad]

This will make the greenies turn red.

The greenies are going to poop and fall back in it.

The Europeans call them “watermelons,” green on the outside and red in the middle.
