Frankly that's what makes such a big difference between President Obama on one hand and Mitt Romney on the other. Gov.

Ken SalazarPresident Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.
