Climbing In The Ratings
One of the pre-election main topics was energy. Drill Here! Drill Now! Open up the Federal offshore lands for further exploration. Open up the North Slope of Alaska. Open the Eastern Gulf coast off the shores of Florida. Open California's offshore, where energy is more scarce than jobs.
Like a bolt out of the blue, Obama announces Virginia waters will be opened for drilling. It is a step in the right direction, but the chosen path is the narrowest possible. Does he really want to do something that will substantially benefit, or does he just want to give that appearance to the gullible masses?
The chances of striking an oil pocket are much more likely in Alaska, off Florida in the oil rich Gulf of Mexico. There is 3.5 Billion barrels waiting in North Dakota. Arco was hitting well after well along the California coast before the tree huggers shut that down.It's a true pity, especially when Caly has such high unemployment, gas currently at $3.60 a gallon, and no tax base. Those oil royalties sure would be nice to have for them. A revitalized oil industry wouldn't hurt the state's jobs outlook either. I guess $3.60 gas would have to fall as well.
Obama approves Virginia. Makes sense to me. If you want to do something without doing anything. Just like his Nuclear Power plant permit approvals in January '10 that won't see the first cubic yard of cement poured in the next 15 years.
Interesting don't you think, 15 months after the fact, Obama gets the epiphany to do some sniffing for oil. Must have bumped his head and suddenly remembered there was an energy crisis going on the summer of '08. Or was that Soros and gang manipulating the market?
Sell that Health Care Bill Obowma, Sell it baby! If he can get a majority behind him, the Supreme Court may take that into account on how they interpret the Commerce Act.
Make this a talking point, Obama is only doing the bare minimum, and it's for his ratings/agenda not America.
