And now, without the slogans of a moron

The Obama Administration is trying to get movement on a climate change bill and I guess at least they didn't give this away before negotiating...so that's progress right?

Well, maybe not.

President Barack Obama is to announce on Wednesday a plan to permit exploration for oil and natural gas off the coast of Virginia as a way to create jobs and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

Obama, who wants Congress to move a stalled climate change bill, has sought to reach out to Republicans by signaling he is open to allowing offshore drilling, providing coastlines are protected.

Oh, that'll work. What will the next bad policy decision based on a Republican idea that causes the GOP not to come along?
