“Their stupidity is amazingly consistent.”

I hope you don’t think they’re stupid - that’s why we have so much trouble beating them.

“...progress that Obama never thought was possible”

Of course Obama knew it was possible, he and his people were NOT DUMB.

The goal of Obama and his people was to weaken and tear down the country - admitting the truth on energy production goes DIRECTLY AGAINST everything they stood for. Telling some lies to protect their position is standard in the Democrat playbook.

“Obama assured, “We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices as long as I am President!””

EXACTLY - it’s sad how many people here still attribute good intentions to our first black president. They need to look past his skin color, and into just who he is.

“Once again a lib is proven incorrect.”

Correction: “Once again a lib is proven a LIAR”. Obama and his people weren’t dumb, they were evil, pure evil, as we’re seeing now with the FBI.

They knew FULL-WELL where we could go regarding energy production - but they also knew that would make the country much wealthier and stronger.

“Zero has proven over and over he doesn’t know shit from Shinola and the morons keep listening to him.”

Nope - all that happened here is that Obama stuck to efforts to tear down this country. He knew FULL WELL that we greatly increase energy production, as it was already happening from the Bush years - but that didn’t work with his plans to tear down and weaken the country - so he said ‘dumb’ things to prepare people for life as a Third World country.

“In addition to predicting peak oil Obama also predicted Peak economy and in both cases did everything he could to make sure his predictions came true.”

EXACTLY - he was making PREDICTIONS, not factual statements. And the predictions were based on his policies being carried out by him and then the beast.

...and they were probably right on target. He wasn’t dumb, and he wasn’t lying. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, and what he was predicting.

I think the point is that our net energy production (all types) is more than our consumption. But, of course, that doesn’t help when you’re in a huge gas line because of an oil cut-off...and wishing your car could run on CNG or coal.

This is just like is “Waving the Magic Wand” comment the Shinola man made about the economy. Well DJT had one and it worked in less than a year in spite of the resistance he faced.

Nobody said Mr. Shinola was stupid. He’s a leftist, and every time a leftist draws a conclusion they come up short and are proven wrong. That’s exactly why owning the press is crucial.

It is a misleading title.

Energy “independence”? No.

In spite our ability to possibly out-produce Saudi Arabia by 2019, due to our appetite for natural gas and oil products, we import about 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and about 60% of all the oil and oil products we consume. Yes, we are producing more domestically, and that is a good thing. But that production is not making us, nor likely to make us, “energy independent”.

It makes the claims that we cannot drill to the point of “energy independence” essentially correct.

You could hear his intentions in his snarky way of putting things and see it in his smarmy facial expressions. All of the destruction he caused was intentional.
