Obama puts the environment ahead of our energy future
Obama is about to make a move to ban drilling off our coast at least until 2012. Russia, on the other hand, will begin drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Russia somehow sees what Obama can't: oil helps the economy as a valuable export, is an advantage diplomatically, and by drilling in our neck of the woods Russia can increase it's influence in our hemisphere. Obama doesn't care because to him the environment is more important than our energy needs that have made us dependent on countries like...Russia.
