As I recall, in 1953 the U.S. Could no longer sustain itself on domestic oil supplies.

There are more oil reserves buried in the Santa Barbara Channel and in Alaska than we could ever use. OPEC would go ape if we started serious exploration and drilling. The price of oil from OPEC would plummet as they run around trying to protect their butts. Who do think really doesn't want us to drill our own oil? It's OPEC. And traitors like Clinton, Gore, and Obama play right into OPEC's hands. Do Clinton and Obama have secret agendas? You bet. And both involve kissing up to OPEC for decades to come. And why not? None of the politicans have paid a dime of their own money at the gas pump for years so they don't know what it's like to be squeezed in their own pockets. They whine about not having enough money to pay for campaigning while the rest of us are working our tails off to get to work, pay for food and other stuff we HAVE to have. I say throw all the politicians out and start over with some leaders who really know what it's like to have to work for a day's wage.
