It’s kind of ironic that now that Obama is allowing off shore drilling, and then month later there is an oil spill near one of the regions, The Gulf of Mexico.

President Obama proposed yesterday a sweeping plan to allow for offshore oil and natural gas drilling along much of the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska.

President-elect Obama’s transition chief said Sunday the incoming administration is looking to reverse President Bush’s executive orders on stem cell research, oil and gas drilling and other matters.
He did promise allowing offshore drilling for oil and natural gas. So, are the repubs going to allow themselves to be bribed by Obama, or will the repubs do what the American people want and fight Pelosi and Reid on their government health care take over? Personally, I know the Repubs will sell out, what [...]

The Bush administration has been in a big hurry to auction oil and gas leases on hundreds of thousands of acres of federal land before Obama takes over. A student in Utah made bids on some of these leases, never intending to pay, so that these leases would not be validly sold at this time [...]
The reinstatement of oil drilling bans and removal of millions of acres from oil drilling has resulted in a sharp reduction in US oil/gas drilling which makes us more dependant upon foreign oil. The oil industry states 500,000 jobs could be created immediately with US oil drilling but Obama and dems say NO! Every [...]

President Obama is shelving a plan announced in the final days of the Bush presidency to open much of the U.S. coast to oil and gas drilling, including 130 million acres off California’s shores from Mendocino to San Diego.

During the election, President-Elect Obama said he supported Oil/Gas exploration (including offshore drilling) under pressure from polling that showed 70% of Americans believed that oil/gas exploration was an important component in addressing our energy needs and foreign dependence on oil.
