If someone else hasn't noted this alreadly, I believe the Congressional ban EXPIRES this year, September, I beleive.
That's the beauty of this. Congress won't have to take action to lift the ban, they'll have to do so to KEEP it in place. They'll have to vote AGAINST increased oil production before the election.
bttt very good analysis
LoL! A prohibitive general offshore drilling law about to sunset in September. LoL! It sure does explains the president Bush’s timing to lift the executive ban. HeeeHaaaa....
