No Change Here: Obama Blocks Offshore Drilling

Unsurprisingly, "energy independence" is a nice sounding phrase, but Obama uses it to signify the Far Left's environmental agenda. With gas prices lower due to the recession, Obama blocked any attempt at offshore drilling yesterday.

When the economy ultimately recovers and gas prices return to $5/gallon, then we can begin arguing about the futility of offshore drilling because it takes too long to get the oil to market.
