Obama's lies just keep piling up. So much for Obama's "policies" increasing oil and gas production.

President Obama is campaigning as a champion of the oil and gas boom he's had nothing to do with, and even as his regulators try to stifle it. The latest example is the Interior Department's little-noticed August decision to close off from drilling nearly half of the 23.5 million acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.

This doesn't disprove that there has been an increase oil and gas production.

Also... running to the WSJ for objectivity in the news isn't very responsible:


Wall Street Journal accused of concealing writers’ Mitt Romney links

The Wall Street Journal has been criticised by senior US journalists for failing to disclose that 10 of its op-ed writers are Mitt Romney advisers.​

Editorial Page Editors: WSJ Lack Of Romney Advisers Disclosure "Inexcusable" And "Shameless"

The Wall Street Journal's failure to disclose that 10 of its op-ed writers are Mitt Romney advisers has drawn criticism from veteran editorial page editors at some of the nation's top newspapers.

In a total of 23 pieces, the op-ed writers attacked President Obama or praised Romney without the paper acknowledging their Romney connections.​

It proves that whatever overall increase there has been has nothing to do with Obama's polices. Obama has told us that, "under his policies", oil and gas production has increased. An obvious lie.

If you want to keep supporting these kinds of lies, that's certainly your right, but don't get all ass-hurt when your credibility goes down the toilet.

You still haven't proved anything. Just saying "LIE!!!1111!!" doesn't make it so.

I've proved that the increase in oil and gas production zero to do with Obama's policies...unless, of course, you can post a link pointing to Obama's policies that have had a positive impact on domestic oil and gas production.

If you can't point specific Obama policies and you insist on claiming that Obama's policies have increased oil and gas production...what
's that say?

Really? You proved that there has been zero increase in oil and gas production in the entire United States as a result of Obama's policies?


Let's look at the facts:


You need to understand that there are public lands all over the place open to drilling and the oil companies REFUSE to drill on them. It's the ol' supply and demand thingy. They'd rather have the oil prices high so they simply don't drill to make sure that demand outstrips supply to a certain level.


...the Interior department released a report claiming that U.S. oil and gas producers are sitting on millions of acres of idle government land leases.

How much we drill is irrelevant to gas prices anyways... it's a global commodity so what is drilled here isn't sold here. It is sold world-wide which means to the highest bidder in the world FIRST and foremost. OPEC also does not want prices to go down so whatever tiny snippet of oil we produce more this year, OPEC will simply cut back production to inversely match our increase.

You guys keep blaming the President for gas prices when the facts are that those to blame are:


1) Oil companies
2) OPEC
3) Wall Street speculators​


These guys are doing all they can to make sure the prices stay high. This is what a free market looks like. It's a phony market that is completely manipulated by these folk and it has nothing to do with our supply and demand working it out becuase the supply is being manipulated. Why is it phony? Because US demand for crude has been dropping for YEARS. And what have the gas prices done?

Seems to me it would be extremely hard to quantify whos policies created the best oil and gas production.
