Yeah! Finally Bush is ready to take control of the oil situation and stop allowing dictators telling us how much our oil will cost. Let’s drill our own and stop this dependence on foreign oil! What an answer to prayer. Now maybe the Congress will be forced to do something:

“Congress has barred drilling since the 1980s through an annual Interior Department spending bill,” Bloomberg News reports. “That ban could be lifted if Bush refused to sign the department’s fiscal 2009 appropriations measure that is now being debated in both the House and Senate.”

I hope he plays hardball with this one because the American people are behind him on it. We want domestic drilling and we’re tired of foreign nations and the environmentalists controlling our oil supply and jacking up how much we pay at the pumps.
