“After years of talking about it, we are finally poised to control our own energy future." [The potential has been there for literally decades - only the government has kept stopping us (ANWAR, Keystone, Offshore leases sold to foreign countries and not for our own use)]
"We produce more oil at home than we have in 15 years." [Others have rightly already pointed out that it happened despite Obama - and this came about strictly by American enterprise]
"We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas" [Since when?? Even if you look at the CAFE standards for cars back to the time they were first introduced, we are just now getting close to the "double" point: 18mpg in 1978 to just over 30mpg now. This simply doesn't stand up to any math test.]
"...and [doubled] the amount of renewable energy we generate from sources like wind and solar" [twice nothing is still nothing]
"...with tens of thousands of good, American jobs to show for it." [how many solar companies - temporarily bolstered with taxpaying monies - have failed in the past 3 years? Any such jobs you're talking about were not the result of your efforts, Barak.]
"We produce more natural gas than ever before – and nearly everyone’s energy bill is lower because of it.” [Two points here: yes, he's actually right about the production - but as with domestic oil, he had nothing to do with it. Second, regarding price: even a casual glance at the historical charts show that there is little to correlate our (dramatically increasing) natural gas production to the (volatile) price. Currently, it is lower than usual, but it has been lower still...and up quite a bit since last summer.]
The whole speech should be parsed to consider his Narcissism. Anything good done by the private sector -”We” did this. Anything good by the Government - “I” did this (even if it was against his personal policies). Anything bad - “Congress” did it - even when the “sequester” was Obama’s own idea and the Congress agreed to his proposal.
