Barack Obama and Senator Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf.

There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that.

A hurricane late summer is what concerns me. Granted I'm not a scientist but one would think that the water temperature would be a few degrees higher in places.

If N.O. is hit with a hurricane it's going to be a disaster. They are half-assing the levees.
