∞ Obama Details Plan to Open Offshore Areas to Oil Drilling
Dear President Obama,
Clearly I’m obsessed with you - as is evidence by the liberal propeganda machine that is my blog. But I want you to know: I am not on board with this.
Love,
Kate
“Ultimately, we need to move beyond the tired debates of the left and the right, between business leaders and environmentalists, between those who would claim drilling is a cure all and those who would claim it has no place” - President Obama
This is an issue that merits compromise, not blind opposition on the basis of theoretical environmentalism. After all, we consume massive amounts of oil, and much of it is bought from people that hate us (I’m talking about Saudi Arabia, a country we should probably stop doing business with…). Drilling will create jobs, plain and simple. Blindly rejecting all energy exploration is our version of Drill, Baby, Drill, and I think we’re better than that. Let’s not be totally against something just because our opponents are blindly for it.
