Bullchit. They have permitted nine deep water rigs in the last month. He opened the atlantic to drilling before the BP disaster shut everything down. Bush never did. Did you forget the spill? It was BP that ruined the offshore industry in 2010, not Obama. More BS. We guarranteed a loan from commercial vendors that gave Brazil a $2 Billion loan that will be paid back with interest when they bring in the proven reserves, much of which we will buy because we need it and it's cheaper to ship from Brazil than the Middle east. At their price? If you knew anything about oil you'd know it is an international commodity. The price is the same all over. And American companies are working those fields, too. But it gets even better. According to snopes . . . What a desperate reach. You can't offer one example. Bush didn't control OPEC either, nor did Reagan or anyone else. OPEC does its own thing and we aren't a member. Obama's job is not to "control OPEC" it is to govern the US. This is a phony issue. Obama to congressional leaders: End oil subsidies
High gas prices fit with the plan to change America from our fossil fuel use to green energy. They don't want cheap gas. It inteferes with the hope they have to run our economy on rainbow dust and unicorn milk. I have a great idea. If the oil drilling roughnecks were unionized then we would be drilling everywhere and gas would be a dollar a gallon.
I am not an expert in this or most topics discussed here, my case will be based on articles I read, like the one posted. Do I need to retype the entire article in my own words for you to address the points made?
No offense intended, its just that the article can't discuss anything with me. It's a waste of my time trying to convince an article of anything. However, if you use the article as a base to make some comments or statements of your own, then I feel like there is a two-sided debate going on. Which is what we are here for. None of us are experts on everything, amigo, we are just opinionated.
