It's ALL down hill from here!

We're headed down alright .. but we're not on a hill. We're swirling counterclockwise and there's water everywhere.

Jimmy Carter's 2nd administration. Their energy policy is to not produce energy. Hard times ahead...women and children most effected.

Yeah, it’s a win-win.

The BLM got a ton of cash for these leases.

EOG (or whomever) gets out of a bad lease and Obama gets to tell the environomentalist he did it for him.

Just basic corruption.

How is this supposed to help the economy? Oops! I forgot that the evironuts and the green religion is more important. We have to fight that “global warming”.

I know, it's some very scary stuff, but I’ve been told by some it's “tin foil hat” conspiracy thinking

Don’t forget Barry said he was OK with the prices going up just not this fast.

I guess he figured that since they just went down that he’d better get busy to make sure they get to where he’d LIKE to see them go.

He couldn’t give a rip about what the ordinary American family has to deal with.

Boy are the people in the country who voted for this clown going to get pissed and soon IMO.

If he’s going to take legacy fuels off the market has anybody asked him when the ground is going to be broken on the first five new nuke plants in a generation?

When is the environmental study going to be submitted for the first new hydroelectric dams out west?

it will be fine to the brainwashed till we’re paying $20/gallon for gas!

It will be the Republican Party’s fault for not being bipartisan. Specifically the extremist conservative wing of the Republicans.

They drill safely in downtown Los Angeles with electric drills rather than diesel - this is silly... OK, not silly - its payback to his special interest constituents.

Yet they are paying people to buy cars with the stimulus package.

They want people to buy new cars, but not drive them. Brilliant.

And the dems will scream about the evil oil companies being to blame and attempt to nationalize the oil industry.

“Just basic corruption.. I’m not surprised.”

I’m actually relieved.

Just another corrupt Dhimocrat is strangely superior to one that actually believes the crap they posit. They’re evil, but not stupid, and have survival instincts.

Now, The One’s plan to scrap 90% of our nukes; THAT’s crazy.
