True, but what I find more troubling is that one of Obama's campaign promises was that he would not reverse this ban of offshore drilling off most of our US shores, in this instance in the Gulf of Mexico and off Virginia's coast and parts of Alaska. Now he reverses the ban and that's another campaign promise broken.
