A New Direction -- But Who Will Follow?

Last week President Obama announced a lifting of the ban on offshore drilling for oil and gas on the Outer Continental Shelf along portions of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as well as off parts of Alaska. Interior Secretary Salazar called it "a new direction in energy policy..."

Who is this announcement directed at? How should the president use it to position the "new energy policy" cited by Secretary Salazar?
