Last night, I predicted that President Obama would take some heat for his decision to expand oil drillingoff much of the country’s coastline. But I didn’t think it would be coming from Republicans:
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) dismissed the president’s plan as not going far enough in opening up U.S. waters for exploration.
Obama’s decision “continues to defy the will of the American people,” Boehner said in a statement, pointing to the president’s decision to open Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters, while leaving Pacific and many Alaskan waters largely closed to exploration.
This guy ain’t easy to please.
