OK, let's just look at the record here.
Since the Bush administration, as shown in this video, the Republicans have been screaming about opening offshore drilling.
It went so far that their platform in the 2008 elections was in fact "Drill Baby Drill".
Some time later, the Democrats, who had resisted additional drilling for some time, lost their super-majority in Congress as they were beginning to create an energy bill.
Finally, the president, with a long amount of consideration, and some obvious reluctance, gives the go-ahead for drilling, just like the Republicans wanted all along, just at the point when they were trying to hammer out an Energy Bill.
So now, it's the Democrats who wanted it all along???
What kind of BS revisionist history are you people trying to pull here? Do you really think the average Americans attention span is that short????
The answer to this question is yes, the average American is no smarter than you, okay maybe a little smarter than you.
But that has nothing to do with THIS fact. Oil companies are not stupid, they are most assuredly lining the pockets of politicians on BOTH sides and if you don't believe that democrats were just as anxious to get some of that pie as Republicans and vote accordingly you're insane.
