We don't want more drilling in our national parks or off our beautiful coastlines. Pretty simple.

The Soros link just adds more disgust to the whole thing for me- it is no coincidence that Soros is a major financer of Obama's causes and he happenes to own 23% of Petrobas shares, and made stock moves 3 days before that deal that would net him millions of additional dollars. The cronyism is unbelievable.
The issue is more nuanced than you make it out to be. This isn't an issue about drilling for oil vs. no drilling for oil. The issue is about where you drill for oil, what impact that drilling will have on the environment, and the rewards that will come from that oil drilling. It doesn't make sense to drill off the coast of the US or ANWR from an environmental perspective considering the oil yields in those areas. It makes perfect sense to support drilling where there's huge deposits and acceptable environmental damages such as the gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Brazil, or Iraq.

Are you going to add anything to forum or just whine about someone getting their feelings hurt?
