How Many Jobs Does This Create, Barry?

The president in training pants is at the helm of a train that is taking the express route to hell and taking this country with it, and he just keeps on pouring on the coal. I don't think any president has done so much to hurt this country in such a short period of time.

To his list of shameful acts in regards to Gitmo and the handling of the terrorists housed there, and his unbelievably socialistic spending program, add backtracking on exploring and tapping our own natural resources.

Just earlier today he told his adoring masses that he wanted to wean us off of our dependence on foreign oil. Well, apparently he wants to get us off of domestic oil too.

This is San Fran Nan's response to Barry O rolling back the order that President Bush had approved for exploring off shore oil reserves.

"Today, Interior Secretary Salazar unveiled a new approach to reviewing the energy potential of the Outer Continental Shelf. With this announcement, the Obama Administration has taken a critical step toward a comprehensive energy policy.

"From beginning to end, the Bush Administration maintained a single-minded focus on oil and gas drilling above all other forms of energy -- releasing a draft plan to vastly expand offshore drilling just four days before President Obama's inauguration.

"The new Administration is stopping this headlong rush to open new offshore areas of drilling, calling for a thorough review, with much greater public participation. And Secretary Salazar is wisely initiating a review of the potential for offshore renewable energy, and moving forward with long-stalled rules to ensure that offshore renewable energy projects can proceed in an environmentally-responsible manner.

"We cannot drill our way to energy independence. But by harnessing all of our domestic energy resources, and aggressively pursuing new technology to unleash them, we move a giant step closer toward energy independence."

Earlier this month Salazar had removed 77 tracts of land in Utah from the bidding process for oil exploration.

So just where are all these jobs he is promising going to come from, and even if he creates them how are the people supposed to get to them with an ever shrinking oil and gas reserves?
