It seems that the first result of Bush cancaling the executive order against offshore drilling has been a slight drop in the price per barrel of oil. this is the other side of the influence of the speculaters. What is embarresing is that he did not undo Clinton era orders, it was his Dad's order which shows how clueless they are.
He should have done this five years ago. It should have been one of the intergal tactics on the war. And now going into the election, the drilling issues should be the only issue. The GOP should hammer at every level that we need to drill as well as other stuff and it is the Dems who wont let us because of ideoligal reasons.
Every voter in America should know that the Demeocrats and the left want gas prices high. Every voter should know about the GOP's policy of "All of the Above".
It is a winning issue but it takes the courege of their convictions and that may be in short supply.
