I have read numerous reports that former President Bill Clinton has worried about his political legacy. His concerns are over. The American people know it, feel it and agonize over his legacy every time they go to the pump to buy gas. When he vetoed the bill that would have authorized drilling for oil in Alaska (ANWR) which was submitted to him by a Republican Congress in 1995, he sealed our fate. We must now give him full credit for his lack of vision, insight and failure to protect the American people.
The critics are correct. It will take 10 years to realize any real benefits to our efforts at “tapping” this natural resource today, but had we began drilling in 1996, we would be prepared. Isn’t it time we recognized our politicians for the incompetent “boobs” they really are and vote every politician who does not support drilling for oil off the Coast or in Alaska out. That would mean Democrats as well as Republicans. Let’s take back our votes and let the politicians know who is in control. Let’s elect people who truly love our country and are interested in preserving our democracy, our freedom and our security.
Insofar as the current Presidential race, neither candidate will get my vote until or unless they see the error of their ways and support oil drilling both off the coasts and in ANWR. Further delay is not an option. We must start now and take steps to solve our own problems while seeking alternative energy sources without delay.

This is my position and I am stuck with it.
