Too bad this imposter of a President is doing everything he can to destroy the domestic energy industry.

Palin Doctrine coming to light.

Not to worry. Obamster will put a stop to this!

The sleeping giant is the GCC.

If Russia attempts extortion, Syria will return to French protectorate and the pipelines will grow out of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE under the Med to Greece and Europe.

North America has gas but it will not be as cheap as Arab gas

Growl?

"...Russia is unlikely to be deterred by Western sanctions, because Crimea and Ukraine are at the heart of Mr. Putin’s foreign policy; they are peripheral in North America, and Europeans are too dependent on Russian oil and gas to mount serious opposition to the Crimean annexation."

There it is.

Drill, baby, Drill!

What idiots we have in the federal government. Energy independence is the greatest strategic asset a country has; just ask Hitler’s ghost. The Nazis spend a great amount of men and treasure trying to secure oil resources and production energy to fuel their war machine and the Allyies spent even more to prevent it.

Obama and Congress, you sirs, are f***king idiots.

Historians will work for decades trying to understand how you were so stupid.

Meanwhile, as obama/soetoro plays tiddly-winks:

The Holy Grail for Moscow is a natural gas supply deal with China that is apparently now close after years of negotiations. If it can be signed when Putin visits China in May, he will be able to hold it up to show that global power has shifted eastwards and he does not need the West.

Putin looks to Asia as West threatens to isolate Russia

ONGC, Russia’s Rosneft may join forces on oil flows

And the administration will do everything in their power to stop it.

Say what you will about Mitt Romney, but if he were president, his reaction in the energy sector would have made these moves by Putin extremely costly to Russia for generations.

But Obama won, so it's all gravy for the Pooty Poot.
