Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Smoke and Mirrors.

The do nothing Congress with the lowest approval rating of all time, ties to improve thier numbers by passing a bill allow off-shore oil drilling......so far off shore that there is no oil.

"WASHINGTON —  The House has voted to allow oil drilling off the nation's Atlantic and Pacific coasts if states agree — but only 50 or more miles out. Republicans called the bill a ruse, saying that's well beyond where most of the estimated 18 billion barrels of oil is located."
