President Barack Obama says shifting the U.S. away from imported oil and toward cleaner forms of energy will add momentum to a trend that has led to 1.8 million new jobs in the past 13 months.
Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to promote his ideas for bringing down gasoline prices by decreasing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. A blueprint he outlined in a recent speech calls for increasing domestic oil exploration and production, making cars and trucks more energy efficient and building vehicles that run on alternative fuels or electricity.

Groovy. So why is putting tons of our cash behind Petrobras, while relentlessly obstructing any domestic offshore drilling?

Many Americans, at least 42%, are stupid enough to believe that this clown knows what he’s talking about.
If America wants to survive, we need to get rid of trash like him.

Obama is blocking offshore drilling, making it impossible to drill onshore, and yet he wants to increase domestic drilling?

Obama, in a head clearly full of misinformation, lies, bad judgment and down right bigotry I am still shocked at your foolish understanding of economics of ethanol. What a childish and inane approach to the energy issue.
This is industrial strength stupid. Period, end of story.

So far, unless I missed it none of the departments has provided a report on the savings from driving with pumped up tires.

Only if we are going to drill for American oil, dig American coal, and drill for American natural gas. Otherwise, all we will get is a lot of promises and squat for energy.

Sure, Bambi, but you still can’t drive your SUV wherever you want and expect other countries to say “That’s OK.”
