Obama wants to drill for oil in the Mid-Atlantic

President Obama announced plans this morning to allow drilling off the East Coast from Delaware to Florida. That move reverses a policy put in place more than 20 years ago that prohibits offshore drilling except in the Gulf of Mexico.

Delaware Governor Jack Markell (D) says state leaders are evaluating the decision, "We've got some significant concerns not surprisingly." Markell says he's just starting to dig into the details of the plans for drilling. "We're gonna focus on that and we do have some concerns certainly from the perspective of the environment."
