Fracking Debunks Obama's 'We Can't Drill Our Way Out' Mantra
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12/3/2014 | IBD Staff

Just how wrongheaded can someone be about America's energy situation? Take a look at President Obama's long history of false claims about oil.

If the president has a mantra, it has to be "We can't drill our way out of this problem." Any time he talks about energy, he trots out that phrase. Whatever the problem, increasing domestic oil supply is never the solution.

We all knew, years ago, the “you can’t drill for oil to solve an oil shortage” was typical liberal braindamage lies.

I’m busy banging my head against the robots that think fracking is causing the earthquake swarm in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Just like they say we can’t solve traffic problems with building more roads or adding lanes.

Turns out, it's Obama who has the math problem.

Did he even take and pass in classes in math after high school?

Can anyone show a liberal mantra that is not blatant Marxist propaganda? Anyone? Bueller?

When have Obumbles and his band of Merry Marxists from academe been right about anything? They regurgitate what some other Leftist professor taught them years ago, and no one ever checks to see how their prognostications turned out. That would be an interesting study for someone in the press to do, but that will never happen.

Yes, once (technically a couple times as there are multiple quotes of his all in the same vein).

“America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the President, am obligated to enforce the law. I don’t have a choice about that. That’s part of my job. But I can advocate for changes in the law so that we have a country that is both respectful of the law but also continues to be a great nation of immigrants. … With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed …. [W]e’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”

Can anyone come up with any pronouncement by Obama that isn’t 100% wrong, or a flat-out lie, or both?

The leftist mantra is “We need to be energy independant”. Meaning we need to flush money down the wind, solar toilet. When we actually DO have the chance to be energy independant, they sue for fracking, block the XL Pipeline and work to support the Mideast countries. It all boils down to supporting Saudi Arabia, our enemy.

It isn’t just fracking. There is a lot of oil coming from new drilling methods that can get to oil without fracking.
