Obama says "Drill Baby Drill"

When I heard the news this morning that Obama was going to be announcing his plan to back off shore drilling in the Untied States I thought I was a dreaming. BUT lo and behold I wasn't.  I can only imagine how the environmentalist are feeling at this very moment!  Confused, betrayed, lied to? Most likely all of this and much, much more.  BUT wait............................why would Obama be doing this when he vehemently campaigned against off shore drilling in the U.S.? Perhaps, just perhaps he's throwing a bone to the Republicans in the House and Senate by giving them something they have long wanted.  However by throwing them a bone Obama will want something in return, you betcha'.  That something is their support of Tax and Spend or better known as Cap and Trade.  I hope the Republicans don't get sucked into Obama's trick and trap game!  Cap and Trade, if passed would tax every single household in America and quite frankly we cannot afford it. We are drowning in debt right now and this administration is spending like never before.  They are imposing generational theft on the children and grandchildren in this country that are yet to be born!!
