The Republicans like to play the poor little victim card claiming that President Bill Clinton singlehandedly stopped development on the Refuge. Of course the Republicans conveniently forget the Republican Senators that voted against opening ANWR when President Bush would have signed the bill in 2004. The only time the Refuge was close to development was when Democrat House Speaker Tip O'Neil was supporting it weeks prior to the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989. Yea blame Exxon but the anti sacred crowd is using the same tired, worn out arguments of 25 years ago. We need the oil,- we don't, it will created jobs,- sure but not as many as now working in solar and wind. NPRA is now producing thanks to Obama Secretary Ken Salazar and Senator Mark Begich. If ANWR development is approved it will slow Alaskan development elsewhere.
