Energy: The White House billed President Obama's energy policy speech as a response to mounting criticism of record high gas prices. What he delivered was a grab bag of excuses and outright falsehoods.
Obama's main message to struggling motorists was: It's not my fault, so stop whining. The speech only got worse from there, recycling excuses and myths that Obama's peddled for years. But there were some standout whoppers that deserve debunking. The five biggest:
"We're focused on production."
Fact: While production is up under Obama, this has nothing to do with his policies, but is the result of permits and private industry efforts that began long before Obama occupied the White House.
Obama has chosen almost always to limit production. He canceled leases on federal lands in Utah, suspended them in Montana, delayed them in Colorado and Utah, and canceled lease sales off the Virginia coast.
His administration also has been slow-walking permits in the Gulf of Mexico, approving far fewer while stretching out review times, according to the Greater New Orleans Gulf Permit Index. The Energy Dept. says Gulf oil output will be down 17% by the end of 2013, compared with the start of 2011. Swift Energy President Bruce Vincent is right to say Obama has "done nothing but restrict access and delay permitting."
"The U.S. consumes more than a fifth of the world's oil. But we only have 2% of the world's oil reserves."
Fact: Obama constantly refers to this statistic to buttress his claim that "we can't drill our way to lower gas prices." The argument goes that since the U.S. supply is limited, it won't ever make a difference to world prices.

And anyone who does not read IBD, conservative websites,watch FoxNews will no none of this.They will however be told how great Obama’s policies for energy are by the media that most American do view.
Here’s the thing about this latest OB fundraising jaunt.
He went to FL to discuss ENERGY AND GAS PRICES!
Instead of doing a press conference in DC before his suckup media friends...he flies to FL on AF1 at $180,000 per flight hour or $1,000,000 plus down and back!
Way to go, Obamarama...lead by example!
Jeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
its not just “drill,drill,drill”
its also “pipe.pipe,pipe”
This ghetto thug stated in 2008 his goal was to skyrocket energy prices.

And there is no such thing as “renewable energy”
Energy, once used, is consumed.
Period.
as in Keystone or he's stoned?
That mouth on him would have to be the first whopper. And lets not leave Moochelle out of it. That Miss Pantload is sticking her snout in places where she shouldn’t be.
EAT YOUR PEAS
American greatness is largely dependent on access to energy by the commoner. When you price it out of reach, you strangle commerce, industry, invention and ultimately this country.
He’s trying to force a vision that has existed since the 60’s or before, that we can live in harmony with and off the land and somehow no one will mess with us while we contemplate our navels and eat sprouts and tofu.
It was naive then and it is naive now X 10.
EAT YOUR PEAS
What do you mean, eat your peas? Didn't you hear the left and news media tell the elder Bush, that he should eat his broccoli?
Oh, and that high gas prices are a good thing?
Methinks we, as a country are short...

Didn’t he squeeze in a fund raising event in Florida that was the real reason we paid 1M for....not to mention the other various costs?
Too bad we don’t have an honest press...because a whole bunch of them could win Pulitzers if they didn’t have their rat agenda and instead reported the truth.
...ping for El Rushbo’s Stack of Stuff...
Axelrod is counting on dumb America to have never heard of any of the algae or anything else and think O is so dang smart. Nothing new. Old news on algae.

Put some solar panels and a windmill on Air Force One. Let’s see how far he gets doing that.
See, that’s the deal. You’ve identified the goal.
And that goal is total control of energy consumption by the “elite”,
and pricing it out of affordability for everyone else.
They want to return to a feudal system where they ride/fly by in their “carriages” whilst the peasants work the government/nobility-owned land.
Yeah and on his limousine too
