Is Oil a Bubble? Part 3

As someone who supports E&P in Anwar and other currently off-limits areas, I find this kind of talk disengenuous. It skips over the fact that Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and the executive branch for six years--if they had really really cared about ANWAR drilling, they could have forced it through. Especially after 9-11.

For whatever reason, it has not been a high priority for Republicans until now--when it can conveniently be used as a talking point to blame Democrats for high gasoline prices. I don't want to turn this into a political debate, but it seems that if you are looking for people to blame for keeping ANWAR undrilled, you have to look at both parties, not just the Democrats.
