President Barack Obama’s enemies have long accused him of waging a “war on coal.” But a very different war on oil and gas is coming next. The newest phase of Obama’s environmental agenda has the oil and natural gas industry in its crosshairs, with plans to curb greenhouse gas pollution from rigs and refineries, tighten oversight of drilling on public lands and impose a strict ozone limit that industry lobbyists slam as “the most expensive regulation ever.”

Here’s hoping his war on oil is as successful as his war against terrorislamism.

When running for POTUS the first time he promised $5 p/gal gasoline before his term was finished. He said this in the context that in order to get the emphasis on alternative fuels it would be necessary.

The guy stated at the start he was like many citizens ready/looking for change. What many of the dummies didn’t know or realize was change could/can mean anything a person wants. In Obama’s mind change was to bring the US to It’s knees as a force in the world and some wanted that and some/many were just to ignorant of human evil.

Well as I read in USAToday....

Republicans talked about “drill baby drill” but it was Obama that made it happen.

And a lot of LIVs will actually believe it.
