LOL!

It means that 6% of Americans have sane reasons for not voting for Obama in 2012

It also means that 38% of Americans are bat guano crazy
 
You have "Trump For Prez" in your signature. What are you laughing at?

Anybody is better than this so called president. Obama is the worst president we ever had. He is and always be a community organizer.

Mickey Mouse for president!!!

LOL!

Over 14 trillion dollars in debt!!!!! Viva Obama!!!!!! He wants to make slaves out of us that have to work to pay for this debt. Ohhhh.. I forgot!!! It's all Bush's fault, sorry.
 
Bush has to take some of the blame, he is far from innocent concerning our wars and the recession....

We elected this idiot to fix what Bush did and this idiot doesn't know how, he is incompetent and everybody that has any sense knows this. C'mon...he made things even worse. Now we are part of another war in Libya and libs are not complaining but they complained about Bush. Do we need 4 more years of this crap?? Only people with suicidal thoughts or crazy would say yes.

you want miracles? do you believe in prayer? got a GOP candidate who can communicate with God? Bush says God told him to go to Iraq. Busy is crazy stupid, no doubt about it. And you expect one man to undo in one term what Bush took 2 terms to accomplish?
BTW, where is Bush? Doesn't he have anything to say about this mess?

I don't want miracles. I want a competent president and I don't care if he is Rep. or Dem. I want somebody with experience and not a community organizer that doesn't know crap about economy and wants to expand government to the point that we can't even take a crap without the government's permission.
 
Then it really should be clear. Continue to develop alternative energy, and at the same time open up drilling where the experts say the oil is. It isn't that hard. But is Obama doing that? No. He is continuing to strangle off the energy we now use and rely on while at the same time having NOTHING to replace it with. Stupid if you ask me.

You said Obama could do nothing about pricing? Sure he could, he could do many things at the federal level that would ease this pain he is intentionally inflicting on the poor, and working middle class of this country. Suspending the federal tax on Gas is but one.

Now.

1) Now isn't whats important. If Americans continue to be short sighted nothing will be fixed in any of our impending crisis.
2) He is moving to exploit oil reserves, he just wants current leases to be used before new ones are issued. I don't recall the exact number, but its some were around 20% of oil leases aren't being tapped by those who hold the lease rights.'

LOL! 2010 was before the GOP began their new attack on the middle class and the elderly. They played their hand to soon, thankfully! :sun

You mean their attack on failed democrat policies
 
Do you know why he said that? He said that if we aren't paying that much people won't get their head out of the sand and actually do something to address the long term issues of our energy demand. The longer gas stays cheaper than other fuels, the harder and more painful the transition will be.



Drilling is not a long term solution to the entire problem of energy demands.

Ignore globally warming for now, because it doesn't matter in this debate. China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and ex-soviet state are quickly modernizing. Their demand for oil is more fierce than ours (we've actually lowered our demand) because these modernizing countries do not have the tech or infrastructure to support other fuels to keep their economies growing without more oil. Thus, global demand is raising faster than ever before.

This means, even if all peak 9all oil) US oil production is reached, the inevitable is only delayed for, at most, about 10 years, then we are exactly back were we are right now and NOT any better off for it. In fact, we are worse off because we would drain our reserves while destroying arable land for years.

Any country that drills for oil without also investing in smarter energy is woefully short sighted.

So why ethanol which lowers MPG?
 
If all the voters were idiots and ignored that we went to war over oil in Iraq, and if they ignored all the world's experts and their eyes at the gas pumps that we are approaching the end of cheap oil, your plan might work.

Personally, I don't think voters are that stupid. :sun

They elected Obama.
 
It really is. Inflation (which weakens the dollar) + global demand is going to keep gas above 3/gallon. If you've been paying attention. experts are saying that gas is going to hit a national avg of ~$4.5 - $5 this summer.

Keep thinking that the only reason we have expensive gas though is because we don't drill for it and keep your head in the sand. I just hope most people aren't like that or we are really screwed.

This is what Obama gave us

Thats funny. A moratorium and permits taken away tell a different story

I like Ron Paul, it doesn't really mean that he is going to be the next president since it's too early to tell. Ron Paul satisfies my needs as president. Smaller government is the answer to all the problems. Government created this enormous deficit and I am including Bush, Bush was not a TRUE republican, he was a progressive republican, along with his father. Companies get in financial trouble, let them get themselves out of it. It costs a lot of money every time the the government get involved in anything. Government CONSUMES money, government doesn't MAKE money. If I get in financial trouble, I get myself out of it and I don't expect for my neighbor, family, government to help me.
I want a LEADER for president and not a president that lies; says one thing and does another. I am fed up.
Obama was elected because he DIDN'T have a record, he has one NOW and a very bad one, any republican is going to beat him if he still can't turn things around in the next year and 8 months left. I just hope that people elect the right one this time and not anybody just out of hate like the last time.
