More lies from obama. Every word that comes out of his mouth is either a lie or just dumb. He is trting to claim that his administration is issuing tons of permits for off shore drilling. He is a liar. They have denied permits, even going as far as fighting the release of permits in court.
obama and his administration have made it clear, even saying as much, that their desire is for us to be paying as much for gasoline as it costs in Europe. This would help them accomplish many of their socialist goals. It would bankrupt what is left of our economy. It would force people to drive shitty little electric death traps that aren't fully developed and cost more than most people's house. The economic collapse that would be caused by $8 dollar per gallon gas would force millions more people onto the government welfare system. On and on. obama has no intention of getting in a hurry to release the strategic reserves or issue drilling permits. Any claims to the opposite are bullshit political games to try to gain support.
This guy needs to be run out of town. He hates our Country and he hates us...
From FoxNews
President obama, addressing frantic appeals from lawmakers to do something in response to rising gas prices, said Friday he is "prepared" to tap into the country's ample oil reserve if necessary. The president, in a nod to Republicans, also said he favors boosting domestic drilling in a responsible way.
But the president said improvements in energy efficiency are the only way to break U.S. dependence on foreign oil in the long term, and dismissed as political posturing Republicans' claims that his environmental policies have choked off American drilling.
"It doesn't match up with reality," the president said, prompting more criticism from GOP lawmakers who claimed he was stretching the truth.
As turmoil in the Middle East shakes the oil markets, obama said the United States needs a "comprehensive energy strategy." He called a press conference Friday specifically to address that point -- and while it was consumed by questions about possible military intervention in Libya, the tsunami in Japan, and the budget debate on Capitol Hill, obama tried to assure Americans that he empathizes with their concerns about gas prices.
"For Americans already facing tough times, it's an added burden," he said. obama also stressed that the United States should be able to weather any disruption due to the unrest in Libya.
Answering the calls of Democrats, he said his administration is prepared to open the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. He would not specify the conditions that would trigger tapping the reserve but said it was teed up and could happen quickly if he should choose to call for it. The government is cautious about going to the petroleum reserve, typically holding off except in very extreme cases such as 2005's Hurricane Katrina near the Gulf of Mexico drilling areas.
