Seriously? obama is pimping oil drilling in Brazil but he won't let American companies drill here? WTF? How is it possible that the president of the United States could reject making our Country energy independent while offering to provide financial assistance for another country's state owned drilling operation? Let me tell you, because he is an America hating socialist scumbag...

Republican lawmakers and oil industry executives are slamming President Obama for offering to help Brazil expand offshore drilling while U.S. production struggles to get back on its feet in the wake of the BP spill.
The president, on the first leg of his trip to Latin America, said in Brazil over the weekend that his administration wants to assist the Brazilian government "with technology and support" in developing its oil reserves -- a black gold mine he said could hold twice as much oil as U.S. deposits.
"And when you're ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers," Obama said.
