Out here in my part of the world oil is a major producer of jobs and has been so for generations. When a well is drilled and ends up not producing it is referred to as a dry hole, just a well that does not produce anything. The president just announced that there will be drilling to take place now. What is taking place is nothing more than word play from the same guy that said no to any drilling when he was in campaign mode before the election. More than likely this offer of his will be put in the middle of some huge stack of papers calling for all sorts of new candies the Democrat party wants for themselves or for some of their constituents.
This will not be a stand alone bill under any circumstances, a bill that would actually do what the bill says and not just some words that mean nothing, or would allow some small percentage of drilling to take place. This bill or the suggestion of a bill the president is offering probably is nothing more than lease applications that are given out but in the end never allowed to be drilled to the point of production even if the explored lease contains oil. Obama is using this false offer in an attempt to persuade those on the right to take the bait he is offering. I say to those on the conservative side, that until Obama produces a single bill which states emphatically that drilling will be allowed without onerous restrictions do not believe this guy because he is not being honest with us. He is trying to sell us a dry hole.
