Is anyone surprised?

Obama IS the "Drill, Baby, Drill" president we thought we voted against in 2008.

A national politician may say they are pro environment but money roars and often drowns out the regular people. Obama is not anti-environmentalist as much as he is progressive and sometimes we don't win everything but we are going in the right direction. It is about making a deal and Obama is very resourceful at them so I am sure he is getting something out of expediting pipeline permits.
