Interesting that Bush lifted the ban on off-shore drilling that had been put in place by his father. He now urges Congress to do the same, basically putting it in their court. He says that it's important for Americans to have immediate relief from the prices at the pump. It's a total joke. If they started drilling TODAY, it would be three to five years for a single barrel to hit the market. It's a pointless and useless gesture.

It does, however, make way for the oil companies to find another profit center.
