Offshore Drilling

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/science/earth/31energy.html

George W Bush is going to allow offshore drilling....ooops I mean Barak Obama is going to allow offshore drilling. I get so confused because they are both exactly the same. The only difference is Bush (and his oil buddy's) only talked about offshore drilling where Obama is actually going to make it a reality. Yes Obama is a doer. He is the most highly motivated Republican I have ever seen. Nobody moves the right wing agenda along faster then Obama.

Bush talked about Nuclear Power but Obama is making it happen.
Bush talked about expanding clean coal but Obama is making it happen.
Bush talked about offshore drilling but Obama is making it happen.

Big oil had a true friend in George W but Obama is committed to proving he is just as Republican as the last guy. Who needs offshore windmills (made in China) when you can have pretty oil rigs. Who wouldn't want to look off the coast and see those dotting the horizon. And environmental safety....Is that really as important as the chance to pocket even more oil revenue. Isn't it better to not have to share it with Saudi Arabi, Kuwait, Iraq, or Russia. Think of the savings not having to transport the product half way around the world.

Yes offshore drilling is a windfall for the industry and no industry deserves more of a windfall then Big Oil. You think it has been easy counting all those Billions and Billions over the last 10 years. I think not. Yes Obama will take care of Exxon and Exxon will be sure to take care of Obama come reelection time. Enjoy the new beach front view. It should be spectacular. Try not to get oil on your feet as you stroll the beaches.
