Daily Press Headline!

Now here is the latest from the press;

 “Mr. Obama, who wants Congress to move a stalled climate change bill, has sought to reach out to Republicans by signaling he is open to allowing offshore drilling, providing coastlines are protected. “Nation Post

Sound familiar;

 At the Healthcare Summit “He (Obama) hopes to have Republican support in doing so—but he is going to move forward on health reform." Wall Street Journal   

It is called Political Theater and Obama is the best.  When you find yourself in the grocery line reading the headlines of newspapers and magazines you are more than likely to find more truth in the article about the horse born with a boy’s head than you will in any local papers accolades of Obama.

GOP Rep. Mike Pence adds some light to the subject:

“The President’s announcement today is a smokescreen. It will almost certainly delay any new off shore exploration until at least 2012 and include only a fraction of the offshore resources that the previous Administration included in its plan.

“Unfortunately, this is yet another feeble attempt to gain votes for the President’s national energy tax bill that is languishing in the Senate.  At the end of the day this Administration’s energy plan is simple: increase the cost of energy on every family in America and trade American jobs oversees at a time when millions of Americans are looking for work.”

My only hope is, now that Obama has made this declaration, our Governor will be successful in  holding Obama's feet to the fire till the pipes are actually in the ground. Drill! Bob! Drill!
