2 AnswersElections9 years agoIn Calif. are you voting against every tax and every Democrat? I am.?
Calif. cannot budget what they have. I am voting against every tax. I have had it with Democrats and their policies. This is the first time in my life I am voting this way, but something has to change in Government. Make them accountable for what they spend instead or raising taxes.
4 AnswersElections9 years agoWonder why our Gas has skyrocketed?
1. Obama Curtails Drilling in Oil-Rich Alaskan Reserve
The Obama administration, citing environmental concerns, has banned drilling on half of the vast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska in a move decried even by Alaska’s congressional delegation.
“The price of gasoline, which was $1.84 a gallon the day President Obama took office, has more than doubled since, willfully aided and abetted by an administration that claims we can't drill our way to energy independence as we ignore vast reserves of North American energy that dwarf OPEC's and we sit on 100 years' supply of petroleum,” Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) stated in an editorial.
The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA), not to be confused with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to the east, is a 23.5-million-acre, Indiana-sized tract on Alaska’s North Slope. It was established by President Harding in 1923 to ensure oil supplies for the U.S. Navy.
The desolate NPRA has been described as the largest tract of undisturbed public land in the United States and includes a point 120 miles from the nearest village or usable road.
In 1976, the reserve was transferred to the Interior Department and Congress designated it as a strategic oil and natural gas stockpile to meet the “energy needs of the nation.”
But in August, Obama’s Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that new drilling would be allowed on half of the reserve while the other half will be off-limits to oil and gas exploration.
Environmentalists had lobbied to protect the habitat of caribou, eider ducks and other Arctic species.
“The move drew praise from environmentalists but sharp criticism from oil and gas proponents who said it would restrict the industry’s ability to tap the nation’s hydrocarbon resources,” the Washington Post reported.
The off-limits portions of the reserve are “the most productive areas” of a tract that IBD says contains 2.7 billion barrels of oil and 114 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Alaska’s congressional delegation — Sens. Mark Begich (a Democrat) and Lisa Murkowski, and Rep. Don Young — call the administration’s action “the largest wholesale land withdrawal and blocking of access to an energy resource by the federal government in decades.”
They also said the move “will significantly limit options for a pipeline” through the reserve to transport oil and gas.
Erik Milito, the American Petroleum Institute’s group director of upstream and industry operations, said the plan “continues to leave domestic energy resources, jobs and government revenue off the table.”
IBD concludes: “The move is typical Obama sleight of hand: Take credit for increased oil production on public lands that you had nothing to do with, lock up resources on federal lands with the exception of places the oil companies find unprofitable or unpromising, then blame them, not your administration, for driving up prices.”
4 AnswersElections9 years agoThis affects every American. Do you know 'Obama Stalls EPA Regulations Until after the Election"?
This will inevibably eliminate millions of American jobs, drive up the price of gas. This is a critical issue for Americans. If you care about America, must read, no matter what party you are.
4 AnswersElections9 years agoIf Obama is elected a 2nd term, just think of the mess he will inherit this time, who will he blame this time?
Sure he will blame Hillary Clinton. Of course, President Clinton has already hired a battery of attorneys for her.
3 AnswersPolitics9 years agoDid the public know about the Cyber attacks devastated Persian Gulf Oil and gas companies?
Could this be one reason our Gas is going up so dramatically and our government is doing nothing about it? Why haven't we heard anything about this? Is the American ship sinking, is that why Obama is living on Air Force One campaigning.
1 AnswerElections9 years agoWhat happens to the money raised campaigning after the election? Obama has a Billion Dollars.?
This is a legit question, where does the money go?
4 AnswersElections9 years agoIs you gas going higher, Obama canceled dozens of drilling leases?
If we can't produce oil, of course gas is going to go up. Gas was $2 a gallon when he was elected.
1 AnswerPolitics9 years agoThe people at Sesame Street had to ask Obama not to run his ad?
It really is pretty bad that a childish President has to even make such an ad. Where are his real issues and concerns of Americans? I know, he is only out there building his campaign money tree, just as ABC said this morning.
Biden is in hiding, ABC said they had no idea where he is. And these people are running our country?
3 AnswersElections9 years agoHas Obama hit bottom that he has to make ads about the Bird, how pitiful?

5 AnswersElections9 years agoDid you realize that Obama's 90 Billion bankrupt Solyndra in two years could have hired 2 Million teachers?
This was pointed out at the debate. How true, and how sad Americans could not do the math that want to keep this idiot. Where is his so called education when he could have put 2 MILLION teachers to work. Good job Obama!
7 AnswersElections9 years agoWhat is Obama going to do with the BILLION Dollars he has raised campaigning, retire?
