bay which ironically bristol bay -- bristol palin is named after that bristol bay in alaska. the president has decided to do this extending yet another olive branch to some of the centrist democrats and republicans who of course support offshore drilling. he needs those. he's trying to build a coalition for a broader energy climate bill. it's gotten an interesting reaction from various sides of the aisle. environmentalists are furious about this. it goes a lot further than even i think they were expecting not with standing what the president said in the state of the union. many republicans have given i would call it kind of lukewarm support saying it's a good first step but does it go far enough? will we actually see the drilling? the real key here is lindsay graham, the senator from south carolina, who is working with the administration on a variety of issues. he has indicated support for this. so the question is, did president obama make these concessions? he going to get something for it? so he's already kind of met republicans and centrist democrats halfway. will they mee

we will support areas in alaska is bristol pray -- alaska's's bristol bay. there will be those who strongly disagree with this decision, including those who say we should not open up any areas to drilling. but i want to say that this is part of a broader strategy that will move us from an economy that runs on fossil fuels and foreign oil to one that relies more on home ground fuel and clean energy. the only way that this transition will succeed is if it strengthens our economy in the short term and the long run. to fail to recognize this reality would be a mistake. on the other side, there are going to be some who argue that we don't go nearly far enough, who suggest that we should open all of our waters to energy exploration without any restriction or regard for the broader environmental and economic impact. to those folks, i have got to say this -- we have less than 2% of the world's oil reserves. we consume more than 20% of the world's oil. what that means is that drilling alone cannot come close to meeting our long-term energy needs. for the sake of our

bristol palin is named aof bristol bay. president obama had planned to do drilling there.st still offlimits to offshore drilling. no question, this is an olive branch trying to reach middle ground on energy issues. we're seeing it with offshore drilling. the clear hope is that they can get a real bipartisan coalition together on a larger comprehensive energy bill. once again, a key player in all of this will be senator lindsey graham. he found himself in the middle of a lot of these issues, immigration, offshore drilling, the legal rights of detainees and closing of guantanamo bay. it will be interesting to see how this develops. >> david gregory, harold ford made that same point a few minutes ago. what a great opportunity for the president to show he's reaching out to republicans, perhaps as harold suggests, he should be standing there with a few republicans to show bipartisanship is not dead. >> you know, i think harold raises a really good point. it's a question a lot of people have had really since the beginning of the administration, which is, who are the president's
