There is no debate while I'm filling up.

“Shut up and drill”.

[Lazamataz]

Don’t worry bro. I have something in preparation. Look for it to emerge first on this forum, then hopefully be circulated web-wide.

Looks like Obama didn't care for Gingrich schooling him from a drilling platform in Mississippi last week. Heh. Just goes to show which candidate really gets under the skin of the current occupant of the oval office.

I heard him repeating the tired old canard about “2% of the oil, 20% of the consumption” on his Saturday lecture.

Here's Newt's chance.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, Newt...put this issue front and center! Come out swinging (BTW, no good fight movie ends until the hero has been beaten to a pulp and somehow recovers to deliver the knock-out punch)."

"Come on Newt, you have gotten under their skin...now is your time.":

"Deliver the punch!"

“Shut up and drill”.

If I had a nickel for every woman that told me that.....

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I actually think it would be a great slogan.

Even Obama yute would like it. It’s sort of like “shut up and drive”.

I welcome anyone to use it, no charge, no royalties expected.

Catchy and effective.

The next Obama ass kissing propaganda film will feature Berry dressed up as a roughneck. He will be on the oil platform with grease smeared on his cheeks, and not his ass cheeks like usual.

Let’s hope that no self respecting drilling contractor will even let him on site for a photo op.

[Lazamataz]

I like it enough to tagline it.

[Qwackertoo]

and somebody, maybe even the RNC, needs to take advantage of such a photo-op to make a commercial and include some old footage of all the people in little white lab coats with various healthcare bill photo-ops. Stick ‘em in their eye with it right in their face. Ridicule and make them the butts of every ad.

Hot Air Alert: White House Claims Support for U.S. Energy Production, Actions Tell an Entirely Different Story

Disclaimer:

I am not aware of having heard or seen that phrase “Shut up and drill” elsewhere. To the best of my knowledge it is original.

However I haven’t done any sort of search, and it could be someone’s already laid claim to it. In which case of course, it is not mine to give away.

-

But if it’s not claimed already, I’m fine with it!

PS: the reference to “shut up and drive” is to the title of a very catchy pop song, which I also don’t claim any rights to. :D

The only "optics" we want to see (notice Price drop)

Flattered Laz.

I’d drill it.

The administration official Izvestia stooge said Øbama will seek to ensure that people understand his record...

“The Optics” is what they care about????

Fix the damn problem you communist marxist Kenyan muslim neo-jihadi thug!

Monday: Obama heads down to the oil rigs for photo op

This guy is a joke.
