Obamas pivot on oil draws fire from left

[Panich52]

President Obama unveiled plans Tuesday to open swaths of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans to new oil and gas exploration, enraging Democrats and environmentalists who had cheered him just two days earlier for blocking drilling elsewhere.

1. I totally agree that there should be

no drilling on the Atlantic coast. The Alaska, I'm not sure about, but probably shouldn't there either.
Nor anywhere else. Gotta get independent from oil ASAP.

2. President, we don't need the oil from the Atlantic. Drop your plans to drill there. nt

3. All sides are angry at Obama, Alaskan oil baron political puppets are also enraged.

Obama must be doing something right to apparently piss everyone off over oil exploration areas, seeing as how getting pissed off is so rare these days.

Thank you for protecting the wildlife and wonderful wilderness lands of Alaska from The Greed.

4. Big Oil Subsides

This country must move away from drilling and fossil fuels. The president should be re-allocating subsides from big oil and gas to clean sustainable energy technologies: Wind, solar, geothermal, Hydro, etc. Mr. President, do not drill in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans!

5. Congratulations Mr. President! Now open up ANWR as well.

The sooner we can get this climate change thing over with, the better!

You figure out if that's sarcasm. I can't...
