It works for me if you guys don’t mind paying my fuel bills.
I am not going to pay your bills for you, but I am sure at some point, if you like, Obama and the Democratic Congress will fund all your needs.
As for me, it does not make all that much of a difference to me if I and working in Texas and Louisiana or Saudi Arabia or Venezuela.
However, in order for you to have access to cheap oil over the last 20 years, I have spent a lot of time away from my family and had associates kidnapped by Colombian rebels and have had a 15 year old Nigerian kid shove a gun in my face.
So, If you like, you can continue to pay Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Mexico, Angola and Nigeria for your $2.00 a gallon gas or you can push for domestic drilling.
But it you want that American oil, you are going to have to pay an American price and our industry has no interest in drilling for domestic oil that cannot sell for more that $85.00 a barrel.
