Hah!! Yes we can! Lower oil prices have vindicated the free market and the complete wrongness of Obamas energy policy. Drill baby drill. Obamas comments from 2012 show how completely wrong his policies are. The market brought new supplies in in spite of the governments opposition to it.

He’s right. Government can raise gas taxes to take up any slack that would have been possible with lower oil prices.

It is time to firebomb Harvard to make sure nothing like this vermin is ever made again.

Fracking Debunks Obama’s ‘We Can’t Drill Our Way Out’
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/120314-728986-fracking-proves-we-can-drill-our-way-to-low-prices-and-independence.htm

Back in 2006, for example, then-Sen. Obama said expanded drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would only “lull the American people into thinking that we can drill our way out of our energy problems.”

When he ran for president in 2008 while gas prices spiked, he mocked John McCain’s call for more drilling. “This is one emergency we can’t drill our way out of,” he said.

After the BP oil spill in 2010, Obama explained that “the reason you never heard me say ‘Drill, baby, drill’ (is) because we can’t drill our way out of the problem.” He went on to claim that “easily accessible oil has already been sucked up out of the ground.”

In 2011, while pushing to end oil industry tax breaks, Obama claimed: “If we’re serious about addressing our energy problems, we’re going to have to do more than drill.”

In 2012, when running for re-election, the president declared: “Even if we drilled every square inch of this country right now, we’re going to be relying on other countries for oil.”

And when he unveiled his “all of the above” energy strategy, Obama lectured the country about how “there’s a problem with a strategy that only relies on drilling, and that is America uses more than 20% of the world’s oil. If we drilled every square inch of this country ... we’d still have only 2% of the world’s known oil reserves.” He added: “We’ve got a math problem here.”

Turns out, it’s Obama who has the math problem.
