Let's repeat this in blue.

We have to drill somewhere. Otherwise our economy stops dead.

What was wrong with the OLD congress?

Anything to artificially raise the price of oil in order to make the green agenda look affordable.

Obama can then wag his finger at us all.

Be patient. Obama will be out of office in 25 months and I am sure that his insane "energy policy" (which entails providing his friend George Soros the keys to the kingdom) will be reversed by the next president.

Obama, like the cruel irony of the "Star Wars" saga, will deliver "hope and change", but just not in the manner that was anticipated. His failed policies and incompetence will usher in real change after he is out of office.

Good, Bad, or does it matter?

Good. He sticks with that, he just insured my vote in the next election.

And yes, I live here. Other natural resources to exploit without destroying an economy the size of Texas.

Amen to that
