[...] The Washington Independent | If Obama’s goal here is to win support for a climate bill, wouldn’t he have waited to use this leverage until negotiations in the Senate had actually begun in earnest?

This should be done but not in exchange for some crazy cap and trade system that will start a carbon credit market, cause another trading derivatives meltdown eventually while in the meantime spawning fraud galore, and drive the prices of electric and gasoline/heating oil/gas through the roof. Don't take the bait, my friends. Especially since the Pacific Coast, the area with the most natural resources sitting there in capped wells, ready to go, and just waiting to be pumped out of the ground are off limits. California needs to stop the whining. They are broke, bankrupt. The USA is broke, bankrupt, capice? Get off the stick and get on the derrick!

All Obama “promises” have an expiration date…

Et tu….

he getting ready for reelection.

I'm a right winger, and I like off-shore drilling…so I like Obama…now…yup.

Obama’s goal here is to win support for a climate bill. I think this is not a great idea. And This should be done but not in exchange for some crazy cap and trade system that will start a carbon credit market, cause another trading derivatives meltdown eventually while in the meantime spawning fraud in large numbers, and drive the prices of electric and gasoline/heating oil/gas through the roof.

I have to believe the deal has been done and now it is show me the money time

Now President Obama agrees with Pres. Bush, Republicans, Sarah Palin on drill, drill. Now is okay because, I read/heard, it is being done in the name of lowering gas prices, lowering energy costs, create jobs, move us towards energy independence, move towards an energy solution and whatever numerous other excuses everyone will fabricate to convince themselves that this drilling is needed. They might as well give Dick Cheney’s Halliburton the contract since Energy services/drilling is this company’s expertise and this company could hire many immediately since this is about Jobs also. Why don’t we just use the oil we supposedly stole from Iraq? Everyone accused us of invading Iraq for their oil which means there is no reason for this drilling. Let’s use the Iraq oil they say we stole.So much for all the petitions so many of us signed against drilling. Let me guess, now we won’t survive without this drilling. Next excuse.

After the gulf spill, betcha Obama backsteps away from offshore drilling. No way any Coastal congressman can support any off shore drilling bill near their home State. Looks likes they'll all become NIMBYs…
