President Bush lifts offshore drilling ban
It’s about time:
The White House says President Bush is planning to lift an executive ban on offshore oil drilling.
In a Rose Garden statement on Monday, the president plans to lift the ban. But by itself, the move will not lead to more drilling off America’s coastline.
Congress must still lift its own legislative ban before offshore drilling can happen.
No need for celebrating yet, though. With Nancy “Pioneer” Pelosi & Co., it’s highly unlikely that any action will be taken. This new Freedom’s Watch ad sums it up well:
Not only is Congress not allowing domestic drilling, they’re not offering any other solutions. They’re just sitting around doing nothing, letting Americans suffer. We’re at least one step closer now, but waiting for Congress to take action to relieve the pain at the pump is like waiting for the Obamamessiah to be frank about what exactly he stands for.

My guess is that Democrats will not allow this unless it makes a Democrat look good.
A democrat looking good? (Never happen)
I like to think more in terms of liberals verses conservatives.
Liberals will never agree to anything that makes America strong because deep down inside liberals hate America. They feel guilty enough about having wealth that they are willing to steal tax money from entropenuers who make the world of economics work. They are always willing to take money from producers and give it to drones. Drill now!
