"My fellow Americans,

"In order to hasten the recovery of our economy and reduce
inflation, I, as President of the United States, am taking the
following actions:

"1. Tomorrow I will direct the Secretary of the Interior to open
bids for exploration and production in the Arctic National
Wildlife Reserve. Further, he will be directed to award winning
permits within the next three months.

"2. Also tomorrow, I am waving all objections to the proposed
Keystone Pipeline. I hope our Canadian brothers can get to work on
this project in the shortest time possible.

"3. In addition to the above, I am renewing all drilling permits
in the Gulf of Mexico, and here I am referring specifically to
those that were suspended due to the BP oil spill a year ago.
Further, all federal moratoriums on offshore exploration and
drilling, off any coast, are hereby repealed.


"3.a Roll back new EPA ( Employment Prevention Agency)
regulations for the past three years that cost companies 46
Billion to the Bush years that only cost 8 Billion.


He left more than just an economic mess to clean up. If the EPA- an
agency formed under a (real) Republican- was not around, we'd still
have Love Canal and all the other toxic cesspools that have a direct
effect on our drinking water and people's lives. Our water supply
is in the same boat as our domestic oil supply. When we run out of
gas, we walk or ride a bike, but what do you do when the water runs
out?


"Thank you and good night. "

If you don't think the price of gasoline would drop like a stone
after a speech such as that, you're nuts.


Zactly.
