I take it you are sick of people expressing their disappointment with
Obama. Sorry, but that's what free speech is all about. We have very little
democracy left; we should be happy that some people still feel secure enough to
speak critically about our leaders. And we still have the freedom to vote
for whomever we want, or to not vote at all.--Tom

A hope for more oil: President’s decisions are good but need to be watched
Fairbanks Daily News Miner
May 15, 2011 |
Editorial
It could be presidential politics responding to higher-than-usual gasoline
prices, or it could be a presidential revelation.
Whichever it is, President Obama’s decisions authorizing annual lease
sales in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, extending some Alaska offshore
oil leases and speeding the permitting process for drilling are welcome
news for this state and the nation.
The United States needs to increase its oil production while taking steps
to reduce consumption. This nation’s economy relies on oil and will remain
dependent on oil for a long time, even as the nation increases its use of
alternative energy sources.
And what better place to find the oil we need than in the place that has a
lot of it — Alaska.
Alaska’s political leaders have, like many of their predecessors, rightly
criticized federal political and bureaucratic sluggishness regarding oil
development in the 49th state. Even so, Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich,
Rep. Don Young, and Gov. Sean Parnell each praised, in varying degree, the
president’s decisions.
Now, as with any pronouncement from a government official, we must wait
for the words to turn into something real.
Alaska’s elected officials, even though they offered the appropriate
praise, must monitor President Obama’s administration to make sure the
president’s words lead to increased oil production.
