Well I saw in the Fox article that it isn't many sites, just ones off the coast of Virginia, however he also closed sites in Alaska. So I'm not sure if this is actually bringing in more, or if it's a redistribution of where you can drill. I need to educate myself more on the issue though.
I wonder if anyone has informed Obama that Global warming is not caused by humans, and that the Earth has seen virtually no warming since 1995. :bright:
HHAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW...
Link?
LOL
Because either you aren't paying attention, or you're a mindless lemming.
Not all of these have to do with health care but the ones that do are just to name a few.
Senate Republicans Offer More Amendments - Prescriptions Blog - NYTimes.com
Also, Conservative Democrat Bart Stupak made sure Pres. Obama signed an executive order that would eliminate any public funding for abortion. That sounds like something the Republicans would be in favor of. Just because they didn't vote for it doesn't mean that the legislation leaned more towards their direction.
Thanks, Professor Science.
You're welcome! I'm here to help, but you must always ask for it first. impdaddy:
i faintly remember somebody being chastised for saying "drill baby drill"......what happened to all the windmill farms that were going to save the world?
Frankly this is puzzling to me because it's out of character for Obama. He still is pushing to destroy the economy with his his climate change and energy bill, to fight problems that does not exist.
This is confusing at best, and makes me wonder what is really going on or is this a misdirection play to once again try to draw attention away from the PHONY Health Plan and all the taxes coming from it.
You do know the health care bill trumps an executive order.
I honestly think if Obama is doing this truly with good intent than I am all for it and this is a +1 for me. I don't understand why many conservatives are upset with Obama doing this. If they are for more oil drilling in the US (as I am for as well) why does it matter who authorizes it? Conservatives and those supporting off shore drilling should be happy about this. If it's based on principal than we should be accepting this as a good thing and acknowledging that Obama made the right choice in our eyes. If it's about partisanship then just simply hate it because it was proposed by a man with a (D) in front of his name. I'm all for it regardless of who or whatever political party brings it to fruition.
They're mad that they didn't get to do it and get credit. And they're mad that Obama isn't living up to their goofy extremist portrayal of him.
This will do nothing to lower gas prices by the way, now or ever.

This is nothing more than a fake. It doesn't require any consideration. It won't produce domestic oil.Frankly this is puzzling to me because it's out of character for Obama. He still is pushing to destroy the economy with his his climate change and energy bill, to fight problems that does not exist.

Curious, I can't wait to see what he comes up with next, it's a month away from April Fools day.

Arctic Change: Global - Global Temprature Trends
Calendar year 2009 was tied for the second warmest year in the modern record, according to the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analysis of surface air temperature measurements. Although 2008 was the coolest year of the decade, due to strong cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean, 2009 saw a return to near-record global temperatures, according to the GISS analysis. The past year was only a fraction of a degree cooler than 2005, the warmest year on record, and tied with a cluster of other years — 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 1998 and 2007 — as the second warmest year since recordkeeping began.
I liked republicans much better when they cared about the environment.
You do know the health care bill trumps an executive order.
Stupak may have once said he was a conservative democrat, however, after voting for taxpayer funded abortions based on a flimsy executive order, I'd say he more than lost the conservative title to his democrat voting record.
Excellent starting point, thanks for adding the reference where the data came from, which is "according to the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analysis of surface air temperature measurements."
GHCN adjusts the raw climate data to remove what it calls "inhomogeneities." One of the things that ClimateGate revealed is a fact that, until all of the station "adjustments" are examined, adjustments of CRU, GHCN, and GISS cannot be trusted if using homogenized numbers.
So, the most important question I have for you is this: which data was used in the report for calendar year 2009, suggesting it was "tied for the second warmest year in the modern record?" I have a feeling you were using Junk Science, and the report is therefore bogus.
The greenhouse effect is not junk science. It is proven science. Elevated levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, much of it from burning fossil fuels, is starting to change our climate. Al Gore didn't invent it.
I honestly think if Obama is doing this truly with good intent than I am all for it and this is a +1 for me. I don't understand why many conservatives are upset with Obama doing this.
I agree with you 100%
I think the republicans are mad because Obama started dancing with THEIR girlfriend.
How will it not lower gas prices? And even if it doesn't this will still be a good thing. It means wealth stays circulating in the US and not to foreign countries. Plus if we are energy independent then we won't have to worry about oil embargoes (like what has happened in the past). Energy independence is a good thing and drilling for oil in America is a great step forward.
