That will fix everything, won't it? Then we'll have to use windmills.
We are about the only nation on the globe, who does not drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
BRITISH Petrolium had the blow-out; not a US drilling company. Yet, Zero holds the US out of our Gulf - and the oil we need.
Zero knows exactly what he’s doing. America wanted a EEO President, and now we have one. In just 2 more years, he’ll be booted out on his ear - the question remains ... can we surivive another 2 years at this pace?
They are clueless. . . then again, perhaps this is purposeful. Best way to control the people is to create a crisis. Hopefully, Americans are more resourceful than Obama thinks we are.
Well, with an Evil Oil Man in the White House, and Dick Cheney dictating gas prices for his OilCo buddies....
OH.WAIT....
Were the Democrats lying then? Or are they lying now?
And yet...it is illegal in most of the US.
Thanks FromLori.
Think $100 a barrel is bad? What do you suppose oil will spike to if Saudi Arabia falls?
How about if Iran tests a nuclear weapon?
What about when Israel takes out as much of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure as they can hit? Think Iran might try and close the Straits of Hormuz??
There are so many ways to spike the price of oil right now, and jack gasoline high enough to bring the world economy to a screeching halt, it’s terrifying to consider. There is absolutely no leadership coming out of the White House, and they are in full react mode, hoping things in the Middle East will work themselves out.
Libya should have never been allowed to get to this point. This violence in the Middle East continues to percolate because the United States has abrogated our role as a World Leader and The Regime is much more interested in going after US Citizens. Premier Hussein really is the least qualified guy in any room he walks into, and the violence you see in the Middle East is very much the result of electing someone to be President just because he is so “cool”.
“Any sign of weakness by the Free World increases the appetite of the enemy for more war and more conquest as surely as the progressive revelations of the strip teaser increase the appetite of the lecher”

Obama should be delighted. He said he wanted gas to be five dollars a gallon, and soon it will be. His Saudi masters will also be pleased.
The American consumer will not, but will be told by the state run media that oil prices have gone up because of “Mideast unrest” and the evil gouging oil companies making obscene profits and funding Republicans.
Speculators bad, government boot on the neck good.
On Glenn Beck’s show, he mentioned that Venezuela is tearing up its oil contracts with the U.S., and will be shipping petroleum to China for a lower price.
We’re being screwed by the communists.
Hundred dollar oil is great if we’re the ones getting it.
Drill, baby, drill. Pump money into American coffers, paying American workers, American contractors, American shipyards, American investors, American tax bases.
A concerted effort to achieve energy independence drilling it, mining it, refining it, pumping and compressing and pipelining it, would turn this economy around on a dime.
There is a great upside to rising oil prices. It’s helping to starve the beast. Fewer people traveling less of the time, other inflation, fewer sales tax receipts, fewer revenues,...
Who can be tougher, more inventive and more frugal, lefties or conservatives? A big default is probably the only way to have a chance at better leadership in business, academia and politics.
