Another Lefty Idea Gets the Obama Treatment

The idea being that drilling for oil on our own lands is wrong:

In its first action to overturn Bush administration policies on energy, the Obama administration on Wednesday said it will cancel oil drilling leases on 100,000 acres near two national parks and other protected areas in Utah.

"I have directed (the department's) Bureau of Land Management not to accept the bids," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters.

The department will $6 million in bids on the contested parcels of land and will reassess the decision to open the lands to energy exploration, he said.

Less domestic oil means more foreign oil and higher prices. This guy is really becoming predictable.
