Feinstein is distracted by offshore drilling...are there any Dems who are not suffering from ADD?

No doubt Pelosi&Feinstein own beach properties on the coast of CA, hence their NIMBY attitude towards offshore drilling.

Feinstein makes the same short sighted liberal argument that it wouldn't effect gas prices for 7yrs. Why save for children's college education, since they won't need it for many yrs?:

The distraction of offshore drilling

By Dianne Feinstein
July 18, 2008

There is no quick fix to $4.50-a-gallon gas, no way to provide instant relief to consumers we know are hurting. Yet President Bush and others continue to push the false promise of offshore oil drilling.

Just this week, the president lifted the executive order banning drilling put in place in 1990. And he's asked Congress to lift its own moratorium on oil exploration on the outer continental shelf.

This would be a terrible mistake. It would put our nation's precious coastlines in jeopardy and wouldn't begin to fix the underlying energy-supply problem. And it surely wouldn't ease gas prices any time in the near future.
