"I am interested to know what our President is thinking about his policy on off shore drilling." I know exactly what he is thinking..."There will be an oil crisis the likes of which we have never seen B4 my second term starts, and if I don't look like I'm ahead of the game, I'm toast, and so are my little girls.

I want Obama to come out and admit that his administration's new offshore drilling policy was wrong...Obama is smart enough to change his perspective and he knows how valuable the electoral votes in Florida are too. Al Gore is right that NO new offshore drilling in U.S. waters should be allowed -- we can not drill our way to energy security. And environmental protection is mission critical.
