The US of A would not last more than a week with out imported oil. Even if you began drilling today you would not get one drop of oil to market in two years. Mean while in the real world we will just go on without you.
I think that most of the oil rigs in American that have been shut down are still in place and can be restarted. America according to this 2006 list of oil producers is number 3 in the world.

And America is an export of oil
U.S. oil exports are up to 1.6 million barrels a day, according to a recent Reuters report. That's 9 percent of total refining capacity: 17.6 million barrels (abbreviated "bbl," no one is sure why).
