Something is going to have to happen, either he opens up the area to drilling (doubtful) or he lays down the law with Cuba.

There's an awful lot of oil on the coast of florida, there's an awful lot of oil off the coast of southern california, there's an awful lot of oil left in Alaska, there's an awful lot of oil left in Colorado and Wyoming, there's an awful lot of oil left in North America period...

But because of what amounts to complete bullshit political games, we can't drill for it....so because americans are scientifically illiterate as a whole, we elect politicians who effectivley make a very very very very very small portion of arabic elites rich beyond their wildest dreams while the rest of those countries starve in poverty....

All so barbara streisand can have a nice view out of her multimillion dollar estate at martha's Vinyard without seeing an off shore drilling rig and still be able to drive her fucking armored excursion everywhere, etc...

I dunno, it really bends me outta shape when I see people driving gas hog vehicles that bitch and piss and moan about gas prices and "the environment" and whatnot...
