However, I am VERY PLEASED that Obama has decided, at least for the time being, to keep future oil and gas drilling out of Bristol Bay and approximately 50,000 square miles in Alaska.\u00a0 It appears that US Congress legislated the matter in 1953 so I don&#8217;t, at least for the moment, find too much wrong with Obama keeping oil and gas drilling out of certain parts of Alaska for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Speaking of oil&#8230;I&#8217;m very grateful that the State of Iowa (my home State) does not permit gas and oil fracking<\/span> (<span style=\"color: #000000;\">although we do supply the sand, from sand mines in northeast Iowa, for fracking use in North Dakota). I don&#8217;t want Iowa to end up like the State of Wyoming where that water tastes like oil (and people die from it).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rick Perry, stay out of Iowa and save your pro-fracking speeches for the gumps in Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please exercise your free speech in the comments section below.
