Why does the USA import dirty oil while exporting clean natural gas?

Obama promised that he would reduce the dependency on foreign oil but it is still going up in price while more and more of it is being imported and used in the USA. At the same time natural gas, abundant in the USA is the cheapest it has been in a decade and is now being planned to go out the door to other nations in the form of LNG ( liquid natural gas ). Obama promised one thing but is delivering something else almost as if **** the oil man Cheney was still the VP. Why is this happening?

    Because the messiah won't allow enough drilling to be independent. And dems are pretty naive when it comes to natural gas. That genius Pelosi actually stated in front of a national audience that natural gas is not a fossil fuel. What an idiot. Also, don't believe for a moment that burning natural gas does not release harmful emissions. It does. And, yes, compared to gasoline there still remain some safety questions about using natural gas in place of gasoline.

    oil is not always a import. some use domestic oil supply. usually held in reserve.

    Do to the united states dose not pay for goods and or service's delivered. one go's off shore.

    like the 3,047 oil well account. were Mr Vaughn nebeker rolling fire-ecstingaser put out 3,047 Weill's.

    just because I know Mrs pallatear of the Vancouver Canadian 8,000 oil Wells & 8,000 gas well.s.

    **** chaney is not allowed a vote,he never invested. Neat-her did David Redadeair also get no vote.

    yes the Technology worked a 110% percent. but the money came out of vaughn s k nebeker pocket.

    in putting out the 3047 oil well fire's in Quitatiee. The only resion gas prices are high is they not payed for good's and or services deliverd. M Obama has not looketat the Ragen & Bush Froud yet.

    the rolling fire ecstingaher putout oil well fires 3,047 in 3 1/2 years insted of 50 years.

    The USA consumes 1/4 of the worlds oil.

    Because we consume more oil than we produce and oil companies have a stranglehold on the system so we have a hard time researching other fuel options.

    Remember they laughed at former President Bush for wanting Hydrogen fuel cells? The auto companies didn't since they were working on it, but the left did.

    Because back in the 80's your parents were all worried about there cars exploding if NG tanks were installed.

    -YOU, only have yourself to blame. Oh and that the space required to carry an NG tank would take the entire space of the trunk.
