Yes, we can.

OK....that's fair. I'll even apologize. I do not consider anyone here to be an idiot and was typing out of disgust for Obama.

I will say that I do not understand why tapping into our own natural resources, which are abundant, is not considered a good solution, particularly with the high price of oil, unrest in the middle east, and increasing demand for oil in massive and emerging middle class nations uch as India and China. Even if a temporary solution, there is nothing wroing with a temporary solution while permanent solutions are developed.

Obama, as a politician, is making speeches that do make him sound like an idiot. From windfall profits to environmental fears to saying allowing drilling only makes the oil companies richer, he is making no sense whatsoever.
