267. More Good News - Drill, Drill, Drill. REALLY?

Hooray (unfortunately not "hurry"). Drill, drill, drill. So be it says Obama in this article. I have no clue as to whether the areas he is allowing will actually produce a enough oil to significantly reduce our foreign imports, but it is progress towards that goal and should increase jobs which is of more importance. Thank you Mr. President. I would now like to see a more detailed explanation of expectations and a meaningful time table. Are we also going to have to tolerate Congress to actually finalize this action? Can I hear it for bi-partisanship? Oops....this is same message O gave in his State of the Union but with a few paragraphs more. We're still over 1.5 - 2 years away BEFORE WE ACT! So, not so good news. Looks like the anointed one is just positioning for November elections, i.e., politics! Sorry to get your hopes up. How many more times will we hear this story before November? And will the states highlighted be tickled in a way they want to be? That is, Californians don't want to drill, Virginia does, as does Florida; But, Alaska -- its so far up there nobody really cares and are its votes significant?
