Did President Obama really say that because they were drilling down 5,000+ feet, that it showed there they had depleted the oil at a closer to shore location????

If so, did he happen to mention that the Environmentalists have made the Government close all of the Pacific sites, most of the Atlantic sites, and ANWAR?????

And did he tell everyone that he has shut down most of the drilling in most of the western states where the Feds own the land?

And did he tell us, just how he thinks this country is to function without a viable energy source????
