I did not write this but it is smart on Obama's part. And it is right on but the ones in LOVE with him just can't or won't see him for who he really is. He is slick and he is not for us. He is for bigger government and taxes and they are coming.

As far as the oil exploration.....It is a feint, it is a head fake. Here's all you need to know: "The Los Angeles Times, citing administration officials, summed up the four biggest elements of the plan: Eventually open two-thirds of the eastern Gulf's oil and gas resources for drilling. Proceed with drilling off Virginia, provided the project clears environmental and military reviews." Each one of these things has an out. "Study the viability of drilling off the mid- and southern Atlantic coasts. Study the viability of drilling in Alaska's Beaufort and Chukchi seas -- areas hotly defended by environmentalists." We know where there is oil and none of that area is being drilled, none of it. ANWR, lots of oil. Not being drilled there.

This is a head fake. This is designed to show Obama as a moderate guy, position him as a moderate in favor of developing America's natural resources.this offshore drilling, this is designed to mollify swing voters by misleading them again. I think it's a test of political instinct, a test for the hopelessly gullible. Anybody upon hearing this saying, "Hey, maybe we misjudged the president, gotta give him credit out there what he does something right." Now, if that's you, you have flunked. The people fooled by this sophistry will be duped again when we get closer to November. Look, Obama is a radical leftist. He still wants cap and trade. They're going to accelerate the new CAFE standards from 2020 to 2016 which means that corporate fleets must average 35 miles a gallon. All this talk about reducing dependence on foreign oil, if you really wanted to do it there's all kinds of oil in places we know it to exist, including North Dakota. Is that where the big shale oil deposit is? This is just temporary. It's like the nuclear plants. He's not going to do it, and he's not going to drill. He's not going to have any new nuclear plants. All of this is designed to counter the allegations by people like me and other critics that Obama is a radical leftist, period.

He has been in office over a year. He has not done a thing, not one thing to make this country more prosperous. Why would anybody think that he's interested in doing that now? Everything is designed to grow government. Everything is designed to weaken the private sector and fool the gullible, the brilliant and ever reasonable independents and moderates among us. And that's the thing that you have to remember. Now, here's a quote, statement from the Competitive Enterprise Institute. They put a press release out on this. "Most of Alaska, all of the Pacific coast, and other areas that could yield affordable energy for American consumers are still closed off from any development. Rather than a painful compromise, this is therefore actually a step back from what the American people thought had been achieved in 2008. 'When gas reached four dollars a gallon, the American people were shocked to discover that most of our domestic oil reserves were locked up by the federal government. They demanded change,' said Competitive Enterprise Institute Director of Energy Policy Myron Ebell. In 2008, President George W. Bush revoked his father’s executive order barring new offshore energy development and the Department of the Interior prepared a five year offshore leasing plan. The Democratic Congress co-operated by dropping the long-time moratorium which banned offshore oil production everywhere except in the western Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic Ocean off Alaska."
