President Obama on Wednesday will call for a one-third cut in oil imports by 2020, part of a plan he says will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum.
With rising gasoline prices at home and political turmoil throughout the Middle East, Obama will seek in a speech at Georgetown University to rally Americans — and bickering lawmakers — behind a program that draws about half of that import cut from energy savings and about half from greater energy production, according to Obama aides who briefed reporters Tuesday.

This CAN be done! To proceed, he'll call for a one-third cut in domestic drilling, no more refineries, no more nuclear plants, and an end to any coal mining. That'll do it!
Nice...
Guess the speaker...
1. “Let this be our national goal: At the end of this decade, in the year xxxx, the United States will not be dependent on any other country for the energy we need to provide our jobs, to heat our homes, and to keep our transportation moving.”
2. “I am inaugurating a program to marshal both government and private research with the goal of producing an unconventionally powered virtually pollution free automobile within five years.”
What a dork!
He holds his fist up at angle when he hits the speed bag and leads with his pinky.
Great way to break yourself up.
he is evidently unaware of what gas lines and the 55MPH speed limit did for Jimmy Carter’s political career

I realize every politician has said this in one way or another.
Only Carter and Obama brought us to our knees in desperation trying to do it with no clear alternative. Obama makes Carter look good though.
“President Obama on Wednesday will call for a one-third cut in oil imports by 2020, part of a plan he says will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum.”
Sounds like the joke about the farmer teaching his horse not to eat: “Just when I had him trained, the damn thing died on me.”
Pitiful. Just pitiful.

It is spring so at least odumbo will not be wearing the sweater
He knows what he is doing.

And to get that reduction, unemployment will need to be pushed up another five points.
Obamugabe: “And, to make sure that these import quotas are equitable across all US importers, I am creating the new government oversight group to be called “The Bureau of Economic Planning and Natural Resources.” It will be headed by the very capable Wesley Mouch.”
Just too weird.
Is that a statement from this article? From a book?
With Obama it is hard to tell what is real and what could be end times sci-fi.
He creates a new government agency to tell him to create another government agency this we all know but where is that quote from?
“I plan to call for every American to be multi-millionaires by 2017!”
It could happen sooner than that if government-induced hyperinflation kicks in.
