It’s not too often that I agree with anything Barack Obama says.  I think he’s a socialist and not the kind of man I want leading our country although he seems like a personable guy.  But in the case of offshore drilling, I agree with Obama in opposing it.  Lifting the ban on offshore drilling is neither a long term solution nor a short term solution because there’s just not that much oil out there.  Sure, there’s definitely some, but we’re finally aggressively pursuing other options to power our vehicles.  Finding more oil is not the answer.  Finding more alternatives are.  All that lifting the offshore drilling ban does is give politicians a sound byte they can use to respond to what America is doing to combat high prices at the pump – pathetic if you ask me.
