Drilling response shows GOP doesn't want solutions, only wants to harm Obama

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, one of Sarah Palin's rallying cries was "Drill baby, drill" - a call to open up the U.S. coastline to oil exploration and drilling.

This is a reversal of a 2008 campaign promise to protect our coastline. So, isn't this a win for Republicans? Shoudln't they be thrilled?

Sarah Palin is blasting President Barack Obama’s oil drilling decision as a “stall, baby, stall” plan that is little more than a cover for enactment of climate legislation now pending in the Senate.

“I’ve got to call it like I see it,” she wrote. “The administration’s sudden interest in offshore drilling is little more than political posturing designed to gain support for job-killing energy legislation soon to come down the pike. I’m confident that GOP senators will not take the bait.”

Then there's this whopper from John Boehner where he criticizes the President for DELAYING energy production.

Obama's decision "continues to defy the will of the American people," Boehner said in a statement, pointing to the president's decision to open Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters, while leaving Pacific and many Alaskan waters largely closed to exploration.

"It's long past time for this Administration to stop delaying American energy production off all our shores and start listening to the American people who want an “all of the above” strategy to produce more American energy and create more jobs," the House GOP leader added. "Republicans are listening to the American people and have proposed a better solution – the American Energy Act – which will lower gas prices, increase American energy production, promote new clean and renewable sources of energy, and encourage greater efficiency and conservation."

Are you kidding me? According to Republicans, there is literally no good solution to any problem, save Obama killing himself and leaving the Presidency to Zombie Ronald Reagan.

Drilling: Repubs criticized Obama for being opposed. Now that he's opened it up, he gets blasted.

Health care: the 2010 HCR Act is based in large part on Mitt Romney's Massachusetts plan which was based largely on the Heritage Foundation's counter-proposal to the Clinton health plan.

They're getting much of what they want, and it's not enough. What they really want is Obama's hide, the good of the country doesn't even finish a close second.

Bastards.
