Drill Baby Drill!!!

Translation for us suckers at the pump:

Bend Over Baby Bend Over

It's time to end all tax breaks/subsidies/whatever kind of "help" you wanna call it - and get serious about alternative energy/cars with better mpg's/and cars that run on something else besides oil.

wonder if an internal combustion engine would run on cottonseed oil?

[andy7171]

Yes! I agree with billk, snap your fingers and make it so!

[SuperHornet]

Why don't we just find a way to go the Dr. Emmett Brown route?

[GannonFan]

Yes! I agree with billk, snap your fingers and make it so!

houndawg says we need to do more than snap our fingers. We need positive thinking as well.

Rapeseed is the highest yield crop for biodiesel at the present time. Most European biodiesel is made with rapeseed.

Introducing the bluehenbillk methanemobile. Runs on its own pharts!

Yes! I agree with billk, snap your fingers and make it so!

And $7/gallon gas!


Couple of more unnecessary wars and we'll be right where we need to be.


Who is going to wind up with Libya's oil? I'm thinking the Frenchies have a pretty good shot at it. Do we swoop in and take it or not?

Hopefully not. Since slavery has been abolished, wo would pick it? You know no white Suthren would bother to pick aything but his ass or nose...

[Bronco]

Really nobody would show up for a job?
I think you under estimate the state of things in the Country.

We got some change but hope is leaving the building.

Obama finally starting to see the light:

"With Gas Prices Soaring, Obama Looks to Ramp Up U.S. Oil Production

WASHINGTON -- Seeking to address mounting criticism over high gas prices, President Obama is directing his administration to ramp up U.S. oil production by extending existing leases in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska's coast and holding more frequent lease sales in a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska....."

Ehhh....he said the same thing last year.

Obama to Open Offshore Areas to Oil Drilling for First Time

"WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday.

The proposal — a compromise that will please oil companies and domestic drilling advocates but anger some residents of affected states and many environmental organizations — would end a longstanding moratorium on oil exploration along the East Coast from the northern tip of Delaware to the central coast of Florida, covering 167 million acres of ocean.

Under the plan, the coastline from New Jersey northward would remain closed to all oil and gas activity. So would the Pacific Coast, from Mexico to the Canadian border."

Learned a long time ago. Don't pay attention to what Obama says, only pay attention to what he does. The two are usually vastly different.

Agreed. Obama is a lying sack of shit. Has no intention to open up new areas, extend existing leases (without extensive regulatory concessions), or approve any new permits.

This is all just political theater for the election cycle. POS has destroyed our economy...is digging the grave so deep we'll have no chance to recover.

[Bronco]

Yep
It's never what he says...always watch what he does.
Serial liar

Yup. Barry is all about 2012 now. No new policies to march us seriously leftward until after the election, and then only if he wins and the Donks retake the House.

[houndawg]

Then it's Nationalize Oil time before they know what hit them. Show trials for the oil execs before they're beaten senseless and left to wander the land begging for scraps. Da comrades! Ve haff zem and ve tighten ze noose now.

SMFH at the hate and pettiness being displayed here when the fate of the nation is at stake. Here we have a man trying his damnedest to rescue the US from the miserable failures of eight years of the Worst President Ever, and all you can do is bleat about the piggies not getting their snouts far enough into the trough. I guess you'd rather see the nation beggared than a Democrat get credit for yet again cleaning up the awful mess left by years of honk failure. JFC, what a sorry excuse for citizens are these Tea Party ideologues.

[travelinman67]

"blah, blah, blah."

Sure thing, Cap'n.

I know he's lying.

You know he's lying.

Everyone knows he's lying.

Another vapid, substance-free rant from houndawg. Big surprise there. Obama has not done one thing to promote US energy independence . Not one. Unless you count "tax the bejeezus out of the oil companies." How 70s can you get?

McDonalds is an "easy" job that doesn't require much actual "work". Perfect for the typical lazy American


Picking cotton, that actually requires work and being in the sun....

Not many. Kind of like you with facts.
