Obama to open drilling for oil off US coasts (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100331/ap_on_bi_ge/us_obama_drilling)

It is clear that Obama is a socialist and is completely unwilling to make any sort of compromises.

Weak.

It's better than nothing but it is only a fraction of what has been proposed, and needed. He's also just trying to lure a few foolish Repubs to vote for his cap and trade crap. Tossing them a bone as they say.

What's the ****ing point? They won't refine what they drill for, so we'll still be paying around $3/gallon because of the ********* speculators.

The point is that he got this through and the Pubs think it's a political trap. The POTUS trumped their fear mongering with fear of being trapped.

None of it has to do with making things better...it's about power and that damn commie POTUS is gonna ruin them all it seems. ;)

It's not a political trap, its a trap for all of us. Notice that oil is near $85 right now with demand in the ****ter still????

Predictable that the lesser minds would fall for such spin.

The big daddies off California are off limits, and then there is this little nugget...


Canceled five lease sales off the Alaska coast that were planned over the next 2 years. One of the areas is estimated to hold up to 77 billion barrels of oil, or more than 3 times US reserves.

Yeah, 3 time US reserves. He just canceled more than any of those other fields will ever produce.

Dear Leader basically just ****ed us over big time on having any future domestic oil production outside the gulf.

Oh well, at least we are teaming with green jobs, electric cars and we are all so flush with cash we don't need this icky energy stuff.

Me likey $100.00+ oil.

Tuba is dead right on this one. You guys need to look at what he is really doing before you praise him for spitting in your face.

The traders like this news. Awl (or oil for those outside the midwest) is now up $1.10 to $84.86.

Obama is the best thing to ever happen to wall street, and the worst thing to ever happen to main st.

I think it's fairly obvious that Rachel is either a conservative clowning to make far lefties look dumber around or a moderate just trying to annoy you.

I like how only the far righties say this is the worst thing to happen. I also like how it's Obama's fault that the price of oil is doing its usual March/April upswing.

BTW, the DJIA is getting closer and closer to 11000.

SoonerLoyal has longer signatures with more complex statements that dig a little deeper than close to the surface, simple partisan cracks.

And seriously...agree with her shat or not, she's way more intelligent with the argument despite her strong passion and occasional outright anger.

This person is more like if someone faked being like Rush or Tuba, but instead of digging up serious issues and disagreeing by well structured arguments, they just said "messicans is evil and Obama sucks donkey balls!"

Cru, I agree with you and SoonerLoyal. For the oil lobby, a step in the right direction is never enough. People who parrot the oil lobby line about opening up huge offshore tracks should at least realize that offshore mineral rights in US territorial waters belong to the people of the US. Good stewardship and maximum benefit of our natural resources should be the primary concern. That means competitive bidding and, I would hope, maximizing revenue sharing in either state or federal coffers. Opening it up all at once would not achieve that.

The oil lobby wants to open up as many tracks as possible to eliminate the competitive part so that they can get to the profits.

Honestly, I don't know how US offshore development tracks are awarded or how revenues are divided between state and federal government. I know how Thailand does it and the main idea is to get as many serious bidders as possible. The Thai state-owned oil exploration and development company serves as the minimum bidder. If anyone wants to explain the US system, I would be very interested. Thank you in advance.

I think he's finally become bipolar...over obsessing about everything being politically based can make your mind snap I hear.

Wait, are you insinuating that the two mentioned have well structured arguments? :eek:
