It is interesting that bho is so fixated on kneeling to the enviors that he is blind to the millions or billions of dollars in royalties that the federal government would get from this oil. Just like they seem to have no interest in the nearly 50% drop in royalty income from the closed oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
The present administration doesn’t want American oil, because it would reduce the payments to Muslim countries.
90% of that federal land should have been turned over to the staes and sold to the people 100 years ago.
What that means now is more basic ~ our currency and our national debt are backed by resources if nothing else.
The Obots simply can't wrap their minds around that idea.
