Obama to the rescue just when the OPEC countries are beginning to have the shakes because of increasing competition from shale oil.

A bird is now in the way of drilling. Impressed he wasted no time in implementing what he wants. The GOP has nothing now to stop him. They may as well as lay down and let him turn us into Greece. I hate to say that but we have no options.

I get so frustrated at times. It is childish to think Obama wants to destroy American energy because he likes green energy.

No- he wants to destroy independence and jobs. Green energy is his cover to tickle the ears of nutjob liberals.

They are aiding him, whether they know it or not- in his war from within. A weak America is ripe for pillage and for takeover- by his friends, the Muslims.

Come on people.

Ugh.. sheeps to the slaughter.

Could be. One or the other. Perhaps the Chinese and Muslims will get into a war over it- and leave us alone.

I am not clear to what 1.6 million acres of land in the west this author is referring to?

By OPEC you mean Muslims don’t you?

Any surprise that Obaam would be on the side of Muslims?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Obama offered to swap oil leases to the Chinese in exchange for debt reduction.

Good! he has already said that six dollar of gas didn’t bother him. Wait until all the teachers that voted for him have to pay ten dollars a gallon for gas. Along with the raising cost of everything else. Heating fuel for those who live in cold climates for one example.

Federal Lands are the peoples’ land...the elitists have forgotten that.
Time to remind them.

Of course that won’t happen with the gutless, spineless pubbies, all to eager to accommodate the Liar-in-Chief and his anti-Constitutionalist, pro-socialist governance.

The America of my youth is gone. But, I stand ready to help recover that grand experiment.

All the Kool Aid drinkers can get ready for $8.00/gal regular gas. The rest of us can also.

We asked for it and Obama is going to give it to us.

Along with this, look for food prices to sky rocket. It takes fuel to produce eating stuff. Stock up on fire wood also.

Yeah, but when they have to eat them because they have no food, they will get one hell of a case of indigestigation.

"By OPEC you mean Muslims, don't you? Any surprise that Obaam would be on the side of the Muslims?"

I thought that would be understood from the tenor of my post. I assume readers here know that OPEC means Muslims.

At any rate, I'm sure, also, that we all remember that Obama stated when the going gets tough, he'd be on the side of the Muslims.

Soooo.....if shale oil is proving to be a competition for the Muslims, as sure as night follows day Obama will mow down the competition....as he just did by closing OUR Western lands to shale development yesterday.

As Stan Laurel would say....."this is a fine kettle of fish Obama is getting us into."

I was going to ask what took him so long until seeing this was done on his favorite day of the week - News Dump Friday.

I'm sure a few Catholic Venezuelans might take issue with that. ;-)

The point is that Obama is again bowing to the Muslim monarchies and religious dictatorships by banning oil shale development in the U.S.

The list of countries in the OPEC shows a preponderance of Muslim countries which will benefit financially from Obama's treasonous action in putting the economics of foreign/enemy/hostile countries over that of his own struggling nation.
