Palin Promises Major Address to the Nation – Gary P. Jackson – The Cypress Times

_____________________________________________________________________________________

“As the former governor of one of America’s largest energy-producing states, a state oil and gas commissioner, and chair of the nation’s Interstate Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, I’ve seen plenty of such studies. What we need is action

—Sarah Palin”

As soon as it was announced that Barack Obama was going to “reverse” his stance on offshore drilling, we knew two things. One, it was a scam, and two; Sarah Palin was going to take him to the woodshed.

While Obama and his media partners are talking about opening up certain offshore areas to “exploration” in reality, Obama and company have actually closed off areas that were previously open, and canceled lease sales already in the works.

There is a lot in play here, but at a glance, this is what Obama has done:

* Canceled five lease sales off the Alaska coast that were planned over the next 2 years.
One of the areas is estimated to hold up to 77 billion barrels of oil, or more than 3 times
US reserves.

* A study of the southern Atlantic OCS, with the findings due back next year….no leasing

* Delaying a planned lease sale off Virginia until at least 2012

At a time when America’s economy is in free fall, unemployment is heading toward record highs, and Obama has created a national debt that is higher than all of the debt created by the previous 43 Presidents COMBINED, this is unthinkable, and borders on criminal.

[...]

“Palin, whose home state would see some coastal areas off limits to energy exploration out of concern for the environment, plans to address Obama’s energy plan directly in a speech April 9 at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.

“’She will specifically respond to the president’s proposal,’ the source said.”

You know this is going to be something if she is announcing this, for a speech that is a week away. You can only poke a Mama Grizzly so much before you get ripped to shreds. Look for this keynote address to be carried live to the nation on the cable networks.
