No doubt it has a little something to do with promoting cap-and-trade legislation. But when you giveth offshore drilling rights to Virginia, a state Democrats carried in 2008 and lost last year, and taketh them away from the home of Sarah Palin, it's hard to escape the conclusion that the President is playing politics with the environment here.
Wonder how many Old Dominion Republicans will be chanting "Drill, baby, drill" when the first oil slick hits Virginia Beach? Mr. Obama, the politics had better work here. Frankly, though, even if the politics don't work, it's a shameful bargain, not change that anyone can believe in.
