That would not help a damn thing and another stupid statement by the maroon.
Is BO a natural idiot or a good student of idiots?
Stupidity in action.
“In the past, Obama has not advocated tapping the oil reserve, but campaign spokeswoman Heather Zichal said he has reconsidered. “He recognizes that Americans are suffering,” she said.”
Nope...he’s just siding with Pelosi. And if anyone believes that he is really open to compromise on drilling, I have some excellent underwater property (without oil rights) that you might be interested in buying.
;-)
Before the 2006 congressional elections, when gasoline was at about $2.75 a gallon, party leader Nancy Pelosi promised that if a Democratic Congress were elected, it would implement a plan to bring down gas prices.
Such a Congress was elected and we are still waiting for the party to keep its promise.
Now that our nation is on the economic ropes, due to the success of the Democrats no-drill, anti-energy efforts, the party is now promising that if we elect Barack Obama and return a Democratic Congress, the sun will shine, birds will sing and all will be right with the world.
what an idiot
gas prices drop $.50 a gallon since Bush came out jawboning about offshore drilling
so today Barry wants to use our strategic reserve
Algor and Clinton did the same thing in the late summer of his 2000 campaign
We must beocme aware the democrats have no idea of what “strategic reserve” means, nor any idea of how we might need it - in a future war that could start overnight
PS Barry- Anwar and offshore drilling are our strategic reserves- tap them
Of course that is what Obama wants. That would probably lower gas prices just long enough for the election to take place. Then back up go the prices, and it would be too late for the sheeple.
Well, we sure can’t use the reserves at Elk Hills because Al Gore sold them off to his Occidental Oil buddies in the 90’s.
The Inconvenient Truth Al Gore Hopes You Forget!
http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=468
[snip]Occidental’s planned drilling of the Elk Hills doesn’t only threaten the memory of the Kitanemuk [Indian tribe}. Environmentalists say a rare species of fox, lizard and the kangaroo rat would also be threatened by Oxy’s plans. A lawsuit has been filed under the Endangered Species Act. But none of that has given pause to Occidental or the politician who helped engineer the sale of the drilling rights to the federally-owned Elk Hills. That politician is Al Gore.
Gore recommended that the Elk Hills be sold as part of his 1995 “Reinventing Government” National Performance Review program. Gore-confidant (and former campaign manager) Tony Cohelo served on the board of directors of the private company hired to assess the sale’s environmental consequences. The sale was a windfall for Oxy. Within weeks of the announced purchase Occidental stock rose ten percent.
That was good news for Gore. Despite controversy over Dick Cheney’s plans to keep stock options if elected, most Americans don’t know that we already have a vice president with oil company stocks. Before the Elk Hills sale, Al Gore controlled between $250,000-$500,000 of Occidental stock (he is executor of a trust that he says goes only to his mother, but will revert to him upon her death). After the sale, Gore began disclosing between $500,000 and $1 million of his significantly more valuable stock.
Nowhere is Al Gore’s environmental hypocrisy more glaring than when it comes to his relationship with Occidental. While on the one hand talking tough about his “big oil” opponents and waxing poetic about indigenous peoples in his 1992 book “Earth in the Balance,” the Elk Hills sale and other deals show that money has always been more important to Al Gore than ideals.
So the existing refineries will suddenly grow capacity to run the crude from the reserve to make more gasoline, right ?
I have heard that for the last 8 years. I've always thought that President Bush's experience in business (oil, etc) had given him the experience and intelligence to deal with the economics of our country. So, he's made some $$ in the oil business. I'm impressed by that.
I've never considered any of his deeds in office to be purely selfish enough to say he was "...in the pocket of big oil..." - What the hell does that mean?
Do we get a free MommaObama tire guage with that?
That would make America's enemies happy.
Isn’t the oil reserve program something along the lines of national defense? And wouldn’t draining it unnecessarily right now be a form of unilaterial disarmament?
Idiot.
(Not you Red Badger)
The econ professor, the junior $inator from Illinois tells us his version of econ 101!
"Strategic" -- Means Military & Infrastructure !!
It's NOT an Economic Reserve!
More proof that BHO is not fit to be Mayor of Fredonia much less POTUS. Someone that stupid should be kept out of sight.
