Congress & Senate passed a law we can't drill for oil anymore. That's SCREWING us.

In 1990, an executive order was signed by the president that banned offshore drilling. The president is not part of the legislative branch, is he?
Drilling is not the solution. Long-term energy policy is; drilling is mutually exclusive. To panic in lean times and make demands that won't pay off for a few years is not the way we need to behave as a country. The world is much more competitive than it was before, so what can we do for ourselves to come out ahead instead of using short-sighted solutions?
Certainly your view is not unique in Internet-land, but just because many people are saying the same thing doesn't mean it's what should be.
