“What a JACKASS!!!”

Take that back! You have delivered a grave insult to jackasses worldwide by comparing them to Barrack Hussein Obama.

These are mostly coal-bed methane prospects. Other than the recent discovery in Sevier County (Covenant Field), most of this part of Utah is gas productive.

“I have not yet lived in a box under the interstate. We may all find the joy.”

That’s what we moved to a warmer climate.

He wants to make sure that the chinese and other foreign governments/countries get first dibs. So he has to send away any American companies that have already put together bids.

Idiot causing the price of gasoline to sky rocket in a bad economy is BAD for the COUNTRY...

Republicans need to be OUT Front with this and tell the American People Obama is going to make them suffer at the pump.

Trust me. They have this all planned out. They are not making this up as they go along. The dream of socialist revolution has been realized. Now, they are consolidating their power. If Congress doesn't reel him in we are lost. And, remember, Congress is now controlled by them.

Amazing coincidence this is being done in Utah, of all places. They WILL learn to vote Dem.

I think the Repubs need to make this guy a “Poster Child” of Higher Priced Gasoline. The environmentalists need to pay for the damage they cause. America is NOT in a generous mood any more. We need to put the blame on the nut cases, the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society etc.

We may want to start with Glenn Beck. O’Reilly is a environmentalist so you can forget that route.

I’ll say it again: as long as Washington D.C. is run by environmentalists, we WILL NOT have energy development in this country.

Plan on telling them, “I told you so.” in about 6 months.

We'll probably have to do it speaking with JHP's, think they'll finally get it? LOL

Utah is a red red red state. Can’t let their economy flourish.

I was thinking that, too. We need to watch very carefully how the great "unifier" treats red vs. blue states.

Can these leases be canceled unilaterally?

That is why we as conservatives and Republicans and Christians must be four-square behind the Big Three: Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele and Sarah Palin (Rush is the brains and courage of conservatism, Steele is the media presence and front man of conservatism and Sarah is the inspirational heart of conservatism.)I have every confidence that if we get behind them and remain vigilant and resolve on a 24/7 basis to do everything within our power to take over Congress in 2010 and throw Obama out in 2012 we will succeed. But it starts with coalescing and not allowing Obama and the MSM to marginalize them or us.

The people want socialism or they wouldn’t have voted for him and that is a fact. His agenda was clear and concise. The lazy Americans could care less what they have, they just don’t want anyone to have more.

I never doubted you knew the score.)

Thanks, I hope my post didn't come off as snarky, it wasn't meant to be, at least toward you :)
