Remember when we said "Drill here, drill now" and you idiots said that it wouldn't reduce the price of oil for years?
Well, it's been years...had we started then, Iran and OPEC would have a much smaller impacted on supply.
I see Lakota has made the exact same asinine argument in this very very thread..."how could a pipline..." yada, yada, yada.
We should have began drilling our own oil LAST TIME this crisis reared it's head.
Instead, once again we are forced by liberals to be reactive instead of proactive.
Did you bother reading the OP?
But theres little truth to claims that Obama has curbed U.S. oil production and driven up gas prices in the process. As NPR noted this morning, the number of drilling rigs in U.S. oil fields has quadrupled under Obama and domestic oil production hit an 8-year high in 2011. For the first time in 60 years, the U.S. is now a net fuel exporter.

And there's ZERO truth to the claim that Boiking has has anything to do with that.
Most of the present drilling has been done on private property and under leases secured before he and his Marxist regime came to power.

I will however give him credit for the further erosion of the USD which does affect the price paid for oil. Funny, that never gets touched upon....
