Is Obama taking credit for oil production that belongs to Bush? The lead time on oil wells is 5 to 15 years.?
He is claiming that oil production has never been higher, but those wells were permitted under Bush. Obama has shut down off-shore drilling and closed millions of acres to drilling. We are dependent more than ever on mid-east oil and the political turmoil that goes along with it.
Mr. Wolf-None of that new production was permitted under Obama. The US off-shore and ANWAR is still shut down. The USA used to be a net EXPORTER of oil. Hope you enjoy $4.50 gasoline this summer.
We are using less foreign oil and domestic oil because of the economy.
Bon Ami-Why do you think the oil companies are closing refineries? Because the EPA is changing the standards which make it impossible to operate them?
The oil companies haven't developed those acres because their surveys show there is no oil there. Would you have them drill where there is no oil?

No. If Bush doesn't get any of the blame for allowing the economy to crash, he doesn't get any of the credit for things that happen now either.

Mr. Hubert figured that and calculated it contained in the Nineteen Fifties. Then the mundi index has US at 0.33. Then the EIA has an same records... those leases are for 10-one thousand years, who reads the superb print anymore. per chance he can take credit, per chance he can not, per chance he merits credit/blame, per chance he does no longer. The President is the Commander in chief, he does no longer make the rules. We make the rules, or we vote those out that made undesirable ones and desire the subsequent ones can get it precise. Anyhoot, if US is 0.33 in production, in the back of Russia and Saudi Arabia, it really is no longer a Presidents fault. it quite is whoever wrote the rules that govern or do no longer govern that stuff.

There are 68 million acres of lease4s onshore and offshore that oil companies have not developed. The reason gas prices are high is because OIL Companies have closed ten refineries in the u.s. and another nine in other countries. Why are right wingers so misinformed?

You are correct. He touts so many lies that if you are not up to speed you would believe them.
Gas is going up every day and for every penny at the pump one Billion dollars is taken out of the economy. This will really hurt our fragile economy but he was to arrogant to see what happens when a nation is dependent on oil and he just wants alternatives that have all gone bust and just pissed off our money doing it. So he says let the people suffer, he and Michelle are having a great time.
Okay so where can I get solar energy to run my car or my heat or my electric?

Domestic oil production has increased under President Obama. The U.S. was producing 6.9 million barrels of oil per day in January 2009. Now it is up to 8.1 million barrels per day as of November 2011, according to the Energy Information Administration’s most recent estimates. U.S. dependence on foreign oil has declined from 58.9% of oil consumption in January 2009 to 44% in November 2011.

I have a better question....if he gets Re-Elected in 2012, will he still Blame the President from the "Previous Administration" (himself) for the Crappy World that was left to him to clean up? hehe
