Obama Blames Oil Companies For Lack Of Drilling
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 3/11/2011 | Sean Higgins

Posted on 03/11/2011 2:04:29 PM PST by Slyscribe

In his Friday press conference to discuss gas prices, President Obama was rather defensive, straining to counter the notion that his administration has been unfriendly to oil drilling, something most people would like to see a lot more of these days.

Hey obama, two words: Ken Salazar.

He's your boy, and between you... You're both responsible for the current price of gas. Nice job a-clown.

What an a$$. I guess I am not needed as a Geologist. Just drill every lease that you have, and damn the risk and expense. Of course, that is the government method—just spend trillions on wasted prospects. Although, I am sure that he would love it if we just quit drilling and send all of the revenue to the gubmint.

Given Obama’s lack of knowledge, it’s surprising he didn’t blame Black and Decker

I didn’t see his comments, but there is a problem with companies sitting on leases without drilling. Palin fought several of the big companies for this and was successful in getting loafers to either drill or get off the claim.
