Obama’s Solution to High Gas Prices

Wow! Why didn’t WE think of that?!?!

So Drill Already!!

With gasoline prices over $4.00 per gallon and the price of oil in the news every day people are finally starting to realize where it comes from–drilling a hole in the ground.

For years, the only segment of the public that was ever vocal about oil drilling one way or the other were environmentalists or those who had been affected by a catastrophic oil spill. But now we’re finally starting to hear from everybody else. And guess what? Lots of people actually support more oil drilling. Poll after poll after poll after poll show that folks are beginning to favor drilling in areas where it has been forbidden before.

The worst oil spills that opponents of drilling bring up all occurred decades ago.  Drilling technology has improved tremendously and the statistics on oil spills caused by drilling bear this out.  Most bad oil spills occur in the transport of oil in tanker ships.  And I think we can all agree that there will continue to be transport of oil for decades to come, no matter where it extracted from the ground.

It’s time for Congress and the oil companies to reach some sort of common ground before we’re all paying $20.00 for a gallon of unleaded.
