Here's my take regarding the rediculous arguements the liberals and Obama are making to hoodwink America about oil and gas.

Four years ago we went through the same thing with one eception...we had a President then who knew the dynamics and operations of the oil and gas market and who made an immediate difference.

One good start is to stop putting Ethanol in our gas.

Well stated. I agree 100%.

I'm just wondering how much worse it would be if we didn't have the Bakken and Eagle Ford shale.

Production on federally controlled lands actually declined from 2010 to 2011 by 14 percent.

Why the hell don't we make OURSELVES rich rather then buy oil from our enemies making THEM rich?

It seems like they keep finding more oil every place they look- and the supplies we are using don't seem to be drying-up, some scientists seem to think they are replenishing themselves (i.e. oil is NOT really old dinosaurs)

What we did four years ago had immediate impact on the price because the Cartel did not want to be threatened and immediately reacted. we could do the same today and within six months we would be below $2/gallon.

We desperately need the Marxist, Obama, out of there for this and an entire host of other reasons that are similarly negatively impacting the nation.

We can...all we have to do is develop the vast resources we have in the ANWR, off our coasts (whcih the Chinese are already drilling outside our territorial waters), the oil shales, the vast fileds in the Dakotahs, etc.

All of this has already proven to be a lot more than all of the Arab countries combined. More than enough for us not only to be energy independent and provide the time needed to truly develop future sources, but would allow us to be the major exporter of oil and gas in the world.

We just need the will. The will of the people to put in office leaders with the will to do it.

I pray to God in Heaven we will here in 2012.

RE :”Then President Bush (who unlike the current occupant of the White House actually understood oil and gas very well) simply stated that the US would immediately open up its drilling off shore, working the shales and the sands, working the ANWR and in the Dakotas.
.........
But guess what? It did not take years for the price to be impacted. No sir. Within months.
.........
The Saudis and OPEC met and immediately reacted by cutting their prices. ........So they lowered their prices...dramatically.
WITHIN SIX MONTHS THE PRICE OF GAS WAS WELL BELOW $2.00 A GALLON! ...and going down. That was four years ago, in 2008.

Gas prices dropped that low in late 2008 when the entire stock market crashed, and world demand for oil dropped dramicatically. Trying to repeat GWB’s success in that might cause some other problems.
President Bush’s Speech to the Nation on the Economic Crisis (TARP Speech) September 24, 2008

Going after Obama for his anti-domestic energy policies is critical but the story above might need some fine tuning to be believed.

IF the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA would embrace oil and natural gas exploration and production, we could power our economy for the next hundred years or more and cripple the economies of those who wish to enslave us.

DRILL BABY DRILL!

Beyond the economic and independence arguments, which are good ones, there’s also the fact that oil money, by and large, sponsors terrorism and jihad.

If OPEC lowers their prices (as they would most certainly do), that’s less money for mayhem.

It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to legislate that all gasoline tax money must go directly to road maintenance. I’d go so far as to eliminate new road construction coming out of this fund, but definitely eliminate railroad/transit subsidies, general fund disbursements, etc. Our roads and related infrastructure need help and the gasoline tax is where the money should come from.

The prices were on the way down before the crash...and the crash was principally a financial crisis brought on by the Housing crash which, IMHO, was engineered by the democrats themselves.

Obama tied to the Economic Crisishttp://www.jeffhead.com/http://www.jeffhead.com//obama/communityorgan.htm

Watch the video linked there, “Burning down the House,”...it explains the crash very well.

Well said. We just need to elect the people who will do it...and that’s on us.

I believe, depsite all the hand wroinging, that the American people are sick and ttired of this anti-American prsident and his policies.

I hope and pray it results in a route in 2012, that he and the vipers with him are routed out of office and sent packing on a rail.

I AM NOT STICKING UP FOR ZERO.

However, notice how they always say "when Zero took office, gas was..."?

That's because gasoline prices crashed in 2008 along with the stock market. When Zero was running for office, we had $4/gal gas when oil hit $140/bbl, and Zero was blaming Bush and his 'oil baron cronies.'

It is unrealistic to expect to return to $2/gal, unless you also expect to return to Dow 8500.

Sure would be great to get control of government once again, especially with the TEA Party still in place to hold pubbie feet to the fire.

Great information, Jeff. Too much truth for some folks. People should be informed and reminded of this every chance we get.
