I think this is the $64,000 question. The obvious answer is the crap media and the election.

However, I have been thinking the last few days that this might be part of the plan. The economy is the Amateur’s Achilles heel. An economy roaring back under the auspices or supervision of our traitor occupant in the WH (can’t say it) might just cripple the GOP for all time...literally render them irrelevant. If the oil is “discovered” and “managed” by this fraud and his immoral party and they usher in a quasi-boom in the economy....how do you get them out then? Our stupid fellow citizens cannot even figure out who to vote for as their house is being foreclosed on...what do you think they’ll do when the US gov’t has trillions more to redistribute?

Did they delay announcing this so they could be the heroes who find it, develop it, and create a well funded socialist utopia?

The upside of this, however, would be getting the global warmists to shut up. They were coaxed into barking by the lefties, and they can be as easily hushed. Even a blind pig gets an acorn every so often... so to speak.

Maybe because now 0zero clearly owns this economy and they have got no other plan.

You can't imagine how close you are with your statement. There is “story” going around about something like this and obama is a going to use this to run for a third term,or have a proxy run for him.
