In 2012, no less an authority than Barack Obama said that increased production by increased drilling – "drill, baby, drill," he called it – was not a plan, but rather "a bumper sticker." Obama assured, "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices."

Yes we can, you dumb ****!
As to the lower prices?
Of course not, so long as you were president!
You TOLD us you would never allow it.

A self fulfilling failed attempt.

Na na na na na!
And Boo! Hoo! Hoo!!

"Obama Said We Can't Drill Our Way To Energy Independence. Actually, We Did."

Another reminder that whatever comrade dictator obama learned in school, it had more to do with organized crime than science and technology.

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.
