FINALLY!

I believe in giving credit where it's due.

Today the president issued a permit to one company to start drilling one well in the Gulf. It's a start, a small one, but a start nevertheless.

I know we won't see this oil for a few years, but it is a beginning. Maybe this will give some psychological support for the price of oil futures. Hopefully the president will issue more permits in the next few days.

It might be good for a few votes in 2012.

I just heard that on the news. He is sure trying to develope all the small pockets of votes he will need, anywhere he things he can find them. And it will probably work.Linda

Credit for one. I have a hard time with that because it's so freaking little! The man needs to live in the real world and face the fact that we are nowhere close to going green and need to stop depending on other countries for oil. UGH.
