[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1312448, member: 2189"] To offshore drilling in hindsight of the Deepwater Horizon, yes, he did reverse his earlier position of allowing off shore drilling. But that is off shore drilling only. To my understanding, he has yet to reverse himself again on off shore drilling. George H.W. Bush first instituted an off shore drilling ban via executive order in 1990' which it wasn't until the summer of 2008' that his son George W. rescinded his father's order but Congress also had a say and refused to act. Thus making off shore drilling a campaign issue which IMO was the point to W's actions so late in his term in the first place. In 2005' none other than Don Rumsfeld objected to off shore drilling in the gulf and along the Florida coast as interfering with military training and preparedness operations. As to the specific EO you are speaking of, can you link that specific EO and what drilling Obama has prohibited as a result of? [/QUOTE]
