Just a day after not exactly apologizing to West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin for promising a San Diego audience to replace coal fired power plants with wind farms, President Joe Biden turned to promising a New York audience to shut down drilling for oil instead.
Stumping for embattled New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers Sunday, the President responded to a shouted question from an audience member about his longstanding promises to shut down fracking and new drilling on federal lands and waters by saying “no more drilling...there is no more drilling...I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
When the questioner persisted by pointing out there has been new drilling in federal lands and waters in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico during his presidency, Biden said, “That was before I was president. We’re trying to work on that to get that done.”
While any U.S. president can be excused for not knowing every detail of what is happening in his or her administration, neither response was in fact accurate. The Biden administration has not just approved more drilling for oil and gas on federal lands and waters, it has boasted about how many new permits it has issued for such operations whenever the moment was convenient for its purposes, including a recent claim it has issued 9,000 new drilling permits during its 22 months in office.
But the President’s responses to these questions, while not accurate, do betray his mindset on the matter, which he has expressed repeatedly from the beginning of his presidential campaign in mid-2019. Simply put, the regulatory and legislative agenda of the Biden administration has pushed to restrict and, where possible, eliminate drilling for oil and natural gas in the United States.

I can’t post pictures from my phone... but there was a picture of him sniffing up the He/She that interviewed him last week.
I guess there isn’t a depth Jotato won’t plumb. Or sniff as the case may be.
It is like listening to an old 78 with a bad scratch that keeps replaying the same part over & over & over.
