why?Why is Barry admonishing us about our dependency on foreign oil, and then he puts offshore drilling on hold?
I have to say the same thing as Aunt Acid , ''He's an idiot who wants to destroy America.'' He is living proof that all of the ''spreading lies'' were not lies but reporting actual events.He couldn't wait to put the drilling on hold. When the opec nations heard the news the barrel price shot up almost $10 per barrel. Of coarse that's old news and you can see the gas prices rose right after jan.21.


Its part of his plan like dismantling the military.Why is Barry admonishing us about our dependency on foreign oil, and then he puts offshore drilling on hold?
He didn't put offshore drilling on hold. At least, not according to the Sec. of the Interior:





';Salazar offered measured praise for expanded drilling as part of a broad energy package, and he promised oil and gas companies a role in the review process.





He gave no indication that President Obama is considering reinstituting the ban on offshore drilling that President Bush lifted last year amid soaring gasoline prices and wide public support for domestic oil exploration.';
because we (human beings) have known how to make fuel out of grass longer than oil. drilling off our shores isn't the answer. it will still cost the refinery's the same amount of money to turn it into fuel, the transportation costs will be the same, and there isn't enough oil to make any real difference. we need to stop being dependent on oil all-together. there are plenty of alternatives to oil, and it's time we start being the innovative country we once were.
Simple: We need to get away from as much oil consumption as we can as soon as possible. By simply increasing the CAFE standards, an idea already in the works, we can eliminate our need for importing ANY oil from the middle east. At that point we can talk about using domestic oil until we can move to 21st century technology to increase fuel mileage even further. The technology is there. On the other other side of the equation there's the Oil Mafia and their trained politicians and the GOP's Ministry of Propaganda, the right wing talk shows and FOX 'News'. Besides, burning anything is a bad idea. The less we burn the better off we are. No kiddin'!
Because it's not about dependency on foreign oil, it's about giving in to the radical environmentalists who want to change our lifestyles.
He claims it is ';for the environment';. Riiiiight.





Just another of the steady stream of lies that flow from the mouth of this the socialists' messiah.





Makes me long for the Clinton days. At least some of the media was offended by his lies.





Edit: Aunt Acid, I disagree with you. Obama is a genius who wants to destroy America.
If he did so, it is because the conservationists don't like, essentially, modern life and what drives our economy - namely oil.
Off shore drilling will not significantly diminish our dependence on foreign oil. Please do some research. The US uses 25% of the world's oil supplies... we have less than 5% capacity.
