The people who vote for Obama are stupid enough to believe him, even when they see evidence to the contrary at the pumps. Obama’s solution is to release oil from the strategic reserves, even though the price of oil has nothing to do with supply. If anything, releasing strategic reserves when they aren’t needed contributes to the problem. OPEC sees what Obama is doing, and they hope he does more of it, right up until the point no more strategic reserves can be released. The have a fool on the end of their line. The mere threat of more drilling, exploration and development of our own resources will send prices down. It worked the last time, and it will work now, but Obama can’t do it. Instead, we get lies.
Is there no reporter willing to have him explain whether or not he understands the law of supply and demand on camera??
Until someone calls him on his twisting of the language and the facts, I expect him to just keep on keepin’ on.
Hey Bammy, Econ 101 lesson for you...
You already increased your production/supply of BS all over the country to the point where it’s value is practically ZERO. If you increase the supply of oil, regardless of how much drilling we do, the value of that oil will also drop proportionally.
Since your regulations restrict that supply across ALL the drill sites, the production stays low and the cost of it, and your BS, remains high.
The end....remember to study as there will be a test in Nov.
Fixed it.
Obama says: "Do Not Tell Me That We're Not Drilling. We're Drilling All Over This Country"Not on leased Federal government land we're not. Leases are down 40% compared to ten years ago.
And who's this 'we'? Certainly not the federal government. More lies from the Kenyan Kommie.
We’re also not drilling much on federal lands. Oil production on federally controlled lands is down 11% from 2010 to 2011.
This guy has thrown up every roadblock and disincentive he can come up with to discourage domestic oil production. The fact that domestic oil production overall is up is in spite of the feds footdragging and outright hostile behavior.
He still thinks we’re stupid idiots without eyes and ears and
we don’t recognize his Alinsky tactics.
lol what a dork.
He no longer impresses anyone that thought it was a good idea to vote for him (other than Jesse) and he told us why he voted for him. Cancer spreads fast and furious.
Speaking of Fast and Furious.....
Obama has incessantly criticized Republican for being pro-drilling, yet he boasted in this speeck about how he’s done nothing but “drill, baby, drill” since he was elected.
And the brain dead crowd roars with approval.
What is it with Democrats and half-truths? Nobody said we aren’t drilling. Our contention is that he is personally standing in the way of permitting more drilling in the future. The press who cover him know this, but they know their access will be gone if they try to probe past the weasel words.
Smirking. Sanctimonious. Mocking. Derisive.
This is the president “discussing” a critical issue to the future of the country. He’s practically bouncing up and down in glee as he hurtles us toward our demise.
“We’re not .. we’re not .. we’re not (you idiots)”
That repetitive rhetorical device is getting old and tired too. He uses it a lot. That’s the way I talked to my toddler.
Bite me bite me bite me Zero.
I wonder how long the list of where we are not drilling would be.
Anwar, disapproved off-shore wells, disapproved shale oil permits, etc.
Set that strawman up and knock him down!
Works on the weak-minded every time.
O certainly is a man for his time...
Obama’s condescending attitude isn’t going to win any support.
He is clearly feeling the pinch between his nut-case enviro-base and polls that show that gas prices are killing his re-election prospects. I’ve heard that he is difficult to work with. He is moody and is frequently unpleasant.
In this case, his fustration is coming out sideways.
Right, and it’s the taxpayers who are getting drilled.
He’s a liar and why shouldn’t he be. He knows he can get away with it because of the knee pad press that worship him. There are no investigative journalists to be found unless there is a Republican President. Forgerygate is way more serious than a simple cover up. Fast and furious is even more serious because people died. What does it take to get the press to do their job? Even Russia notices and they are the experts at manipulating the press.
“We’re not drilling on the National Mall. We’re not drilling at your house.”
Why not?
and in case you didn’t hear me,
Why not, @$$#01e?
