Like everything else connected with this Administration, anytime you hear about something that sounds like it might be good for America, you have to put your "bullshit" filters on so that you can parse the verbiage to get the real message. Just like his recent discovery that "nuclear power plants will be good for America", this latest spurt of excitement about "protecting America's energy future" is nothing more than an attempt to garner more Republican support for his disastrous Cap&Trade proposals which languish in Congress.
As reported by Michelle Malkin here, and attributed to GOP Rep. Mike Pence, “As usual the devil is in the details. Only in Washington, D.C., can you ban more areas to oil and gas exploration than you open up, delay the date of your new leases and claim you’re going to increase production.
“The President’s announcement today is a smokescreen. It will almost certainly delay any new offshore exploration until at least 2012 and include only a fraction of the offshore resources that the previous Administration included in its plan.
“Unfortunately, this is yet another feeble attempt to gain votes for the President’s national energy tax bill that is languishing in the Senate. At the end of the day this Administration’s energy plan is simple: increase the cost of energy on every family in America and trade American jobs oversees at a time when millions of Americans are looking for work.”
Amen!!
Or, as Sarah Palin wrote for NRO here "Stall, Baby Stall!!"
