Hurry Amos, find out where I stoled this so you can try to use that to discredit the fact and logic and claim it is false.

Or maybe you should research the claims made here and try to determine for your self how true they may be. That would seem the more logical thing to do. Then if you believe parts of it to be untrue you could say this particular part is untrue because__________ instead of your knee jerk condemnation of anything you see that didn't come from one of your left wing talking points sources.

But I have the feeling that as soon as you read something that does not jive with what Obama said, you feel an obligation to disagree immediately without even trying to figure out if it could be true.

"A new report from Wall Street research house Sanford C. Bernstein says that California actually could start producing new oil within one year if the moratorium were lifted. The California oil is under shallow water and already has been explored. Drilling platforms have been in place since before the moratorium. They're talking about 10 billion barrels worth off the coast of California.

There's also a "gang of 10" in the Senate, five Republicans and five Democrats, that is trying to work a compromise deal on lifting the moratorium. So it's possible a lot of action on this front could occur much sooner than people seem to think."
