This is where touchy-feely Liberalism gets you:
Congress won't allow drilling in the Gulf of Mexico by US companies. However, at a meeting of oil producing countries, Nigeria is inking a 100- year lease to drill in the Gulf's oil reserves.
This makes sense, huh? A highly regulated US industry is banned from exploring for oil with the best equipment in the world, but we're going to allow one of the least technologically advance countries in the world do it.
When the *HELL* are we going to vote these dimwit Democrats OUT OF OFFICE so we can become competitive again?!
