I hope he's just playing lip service to the concept, but he should be fighting it with convincing arguments that the "ineffectual environmental groups" should be feeding him. He needs a better environmental/energy advisor! Of course, Obama has received nice contributions from coal and oil in the past.

The MSM is all in bed with "Big Oil". Ask any one with 1/2 a brain, (my 8 -year old grand-daughter) knows not to believe ANYTHING on FOX News, and only 25% of anything you see or hear on the rest of the MSM. Try LINK or Free Speech TV if you want a REAL view of the world. It’s all WHO you ask. The MSM is all in bed with “Big Oil”.

It sounds resonable to say increase drilling at which is so little that it will not put a dent into the 140 billion barrels of oil we use every year. But it sounds reasonable. Right? Bait? Those of us who have been alive for the last 45 years or so have seen the US prestige, honor and wealth leave for foreign shores. We were raised during the 70's oil embargo. And our government did nothing. We have seen our own oil fields decline. And we the people have done nothing. We have seen cars devolve into complete wasteful polluting machines and we business community have done nothing. Now can we face our own failure? Can we face it that we cannot look for answers from a government who has completely abandoned our interests? Can we accept the fact that it is time for the American People to rise up and take control of our destiny and future. It is time to make a new generation of wealthy from electric cars and new forms of energy and transport. When we accept this chaellenge and lead government and business back to the path of providing legitimate choices. As long as we are settled with being led we will be lost!
