Obama: Drill, Brazil, Drill! (US will then buy your oil)
Investors.com ^ | March 21, 2011 | IBD Editorial staff

Posted on 03/21/2011 5:43:49 PM PDT by CedarDave

While leaving U.S. oil and jobs in the ground, our itinerant president tells a South American neighbor that we'll help it develop its offshore resources so we can one day import its oil. WHAT?!?

His "What, me worry?" presidency has given both Americans and our allies plenty to worry about. But in the process of making nice with Brazil, Obama made a mind-boggling announcement that should make even his most loyal supporter cringe:

We will help Brazil develop its offshore oil so we can one day import it.

Obama wants to develop Brazilian offshore oil to help the Brazilian economy create jobs for Brazilian workers while Americans are left unemployed in the face of skyrocketing energy prices by an administration that despises fossil fuels as a threat to the environment and wants to increase our dependency on foreign oil.

I was driving to a job site on Saturday and heard his speech. I was furious and yelled at the radio and pounded on my horn. luckily the road was fairly empty and my rant passed before running off the road or into another vehicle.

What about drilling our resources?? Near and deep offshore leases, Alaska's north slope, ANWR and countless locations in the lower 48 off limits due to federal land restrictions or endangered species designations, and on and on...

Palin wants the U.S.A. to drill, and Obama wants Brazil to drill. One of many positive comparisons between Palin and Obama.

I think we’ve run out of words to describe this nincompoop!

Does he even know how to put his own shoes on? Isn’t he tired of pretending yet? Well, we’re sure tired of it.

Well ...Soros invested in Brazil so that’s where our money will go - too bad Soros didn’t invest in the US so King Zero would let us drill here.

On just about every level, American policy is so convoluted, backwards, ill-advised and counterproductive, that I don't even know where to start. Our country is completely dysfunctional.

Think about it, everything they do is designed to send our money overseas.

Let’s put money in the Brazlian economy rather than here in America. Yeah, that’s the ticket. /s

Obama does not care what he destroys to maintain his enviro-whacko funded political power. Our jobs and our revenue — all going offshore to support his empowerment and his socialism.

Get wise America. November, 2012.

Ugh.

Isn’t Red China already drilling OUR oil, as well?

They dropped ethonal production to develop oil and we helped fund it. Anybody left who doesn’t believe he hates this Country.

Pray for America

That was noted in the editorial but I cut it out as per excerpt rules.

So we’ll essentially be paying Brazil (and Soros...since he’s heavily invested in Petrobras) for our own friggin oil.

Can we please impeach this SOB yet? I mean, how much is too much for most Americans? I reached my threshold over a year ago.

Obama gave away what we could not afford to give away. Besides, He will help socialist governments get a an advantage over the USA.

He's seeing to it that when after he is gone every thing not mortgaged has been given away.
