He is strapping our hands with regulations and putting us on our knees in front of the Saudis.

The great pretender will surely be the death of us all.

Change you can believe in......

You could, but I think he was more interested in Iraqui oil.

It's a technological revolution more than anything. And I believe the vast majority of the growth has come from non-federal lands. Not really a result of any policy Obama has implemented, which won't stop him from taking credit.

And the whole biofuel/ethanol thing (which started with Bush, and got ramped-up under Obama) is pretty much a failure. But the algae-based methods look like they could be a real winner.

I love how DA is giving Obama credit for PRIVATE industries producing oil they obtained from PRIVATE lands.

Are you shocked?

DA is one of those small town liberals who has no idea what actually goes on in the world, and will just aimlessly praise and gargle the balls of all dem's because everyone else in his town is conservative. Gotta be different!

Please explain how I gave BHO credit. I placed blame on him and even put a conservative hack link to it.

Well, that eliminates 65% of the poli regulars, until you spelled it out bluntly. Now it'll only go over the head of 43%.

Nah....this premise assumes that everyone else from my small town is a liberal which isn't so. :D
