Guess who was responsible for the USA being world's largest OIL producer?

do you need a diagram? The recession ended in 2009 when jobs started coming back but it takes a long time to get 8 million jobs back duh...

You don't need 8 million jobs for an economy to turn around. In fact you should have been seeing improvements the entire time. However things kept getting worse throughout his entire first term and beyond.

More homes in poverty.
More government cell phones.
More people using food stamps.
More people getting out of the workforce.
Household income stagnant.

Everything went to hell. Now if the economy caused this, there would have been immediate signs and things would have gotten better instead of worse. Do you want more diagrams? I'll post them.
Seven and a half years straight of growth, despite pure GOP obstruction. Reagan W and Trump all had just as bad debt in supposedly Good Times, along with corrupt bubbles and busts. Where do you think the Trump bubble and bust will come. Any bump that Trump has only cost over a trillion dollars in debt. Brilliant! And inequality and upward Mobility continues to get worse all the growth is for the rich in the long run.

That's because we have the laziest people in the US and we make more millionaires every year than any other country.

Yeah, seven years of straight growth but social programs and government help on the increase for his first four years. Doesn't sound like much growth to me, sounds like a bunch of new minimum wage and government jobs.

As for this upward mobility you speak of, nobody had more rich people getting richer than under DumBama.
the reason we gained a lot of millionaires this year is because of trump cutting their taxes, duh idiot... Americans are not lazy, Republicans are brainwashed idiots like you. Give them a living wage and they will work their hearts out, benefits would be nice for a change too. Why are we the only developed country without Health Care daycare paid parental leave living wage good infrastructure good vacations cheap college and training national ID card 2 end illegal immigration, jackass?

Because we're not a bunch of Communists.....yet, jackass.

Nobody ever got rich from a tax break stupid.
Communism is a dictatorship that owns all industry and business, so you immediately are an idiot brainwashed jackass.We're talking about socialism which is fair capitalism with a good safety net and always democratic. But keep on being a brainwashed chump of the greedy idiot rich....
 
What's pathetic about it? Government cell phone usage doubled from the beginning of DumBama's first term until the end of it when "supposedly" things were doing great! Yet leftists constantly tell us that DumBama ended the recession and put us on great economic strides in his first year.

You can't have it both ways. We on the right have been telling you that DumBama was a failure, and yet with economic evidence (that you now admit to) that it he wasn't a success, you continue to embellish his presidency.

In his first term and the beginning of his second term, food stamps increased or remained the same, Obama Phones usage increased in his first term. Interest rates remained at 0%, household incomes didn't increase during his first term because most of the jobs created were minimum wage jobs.

Actually, super duper the number of government jobs went down under him and welfare and food stamps etcetera went up only because of the GOP wrecked economy he inherited. They went down the last 3 years or so...
The only jobs that went down are people in the military.
 
But Obama did do something very vital to boost oil production.

He left office
Only in super dupe world, Super Dupe... But enjoy the next environmental disaster that wouldn't have happened under Democrats, and of course the typical GOP corrupt economic bubble and bust... Meanwhile under GOP dominance and give away to the rich for 35 years, we have the worst inequality and upward Mobility in our history and in the world, and you blame the poor people and minorities. Brilliant super duper.
Environmental disasters like the Deepwater Horizon blowout?
Which was purely a Republican production, unless you want to ignore all the evidence. Obama was a little busy with your corrupt GOP 2008 World depression...

Obama cut the leases in half because he wanted to do two things, make oil expensive and scarce, and put coal miners out of business.

HE AND HILLARY CLINTON BOTH SAID THIS PUBLICLY.

He simultaneously attacked The Coal Industry, while Attacking The Oil Industry and Flushing Millions in Subsidies down the drain on The Green Industry.

Obama attacked our energy industry with a vengeance.
 
What a bitch..



.

Nope, Obama is right. His policies did increase oil and gas drilling and immensely increased production of both.

Where the OP gets it wrong, is in comparing the number of oil and gas leases under Bush and Obama. Obama cancelled a lot of old leases on low yield lands where the tenant had held the lands for years and wasn't drilling. The leases he granted were to lands which showed strong potential and where the lessee had a proven success record in drilling. The result was a much higher production yield on the leases he granted.

The Irony Of President Obama's Oil Legacy

Question for you after reading the article you linked.
How long do you think it takes an oil company from the time they start investigating the potential of additional exploration, to leasing the land, to installing the drilling equipment, to actual doing the drilling, to actually finding oil, to installing pumping equipment to actually extracting the oil?

ANSWER!!!

The following steps are necessary in order to produce oil or gas from a well:
  1. 10-30 different service companies are required.
  2. Each company working on a well must adhere to around-the-clock scheduling, safety and environmental practices.
  3. Build a new road to access the rig location.
  4. Clear the area for the new rig.
  5. Build infrastructure for water and electricity around the rig site.
  6. Dig an earthen pit to prevent soil or water table contamination.
  7. Dig a pilot hole at the precise location marked by the survey crew.
  8. Dig two other holes (the “mouse” hole and the “rat” hole) nearby to hold pieces of equipment and pipe during drilling.
  9. A rig that can dig a 10,000 ft. well requires 50-75 people and 35-45 semi-trucks to move and assemble the rig.
  10. Assembly of the rig takes around 3 and a half days.
  11. A strict inspection of the rig must take place once built.
  12. Operations of the rig go on 24/7, typically ceasing only one day each year for Christmas.
  13. Two shifts of two complete crews must work the rig every day.
  14. There are two stages of drilling: 1. running and cementing of cases and 2. drilling until the bit reaches the depth of the targeted zone.
  15. Each drill bit typically lasts 4,500 – 6,500 feet of drilling.
  16. Replacing the bit requires the removal of the entire string of drill pipe in a process called “tripping out”.
  17. “Tripping out” takes several hours and requires crews to cool the bit and keep the soil and hole intact.
  18. To help keep cuttings from plugging the hole, the mud must be sent through shakers to send the cuttings into a separated area.
  19. Additional mug system equipment: de-sanders, de-silters and de-gassers, remove smaller particles and gas from the mud.
  20. Clean mud is then recirculated back down into the hole.
  21. The Blow-Out Preventer (or “BOP”) is installed on top of the casing head before drilling takes place.
  22. The BOP must have high-pressure safetly valves designed to seal off the well and block any escaping gases or liquids from the hole beneath in order to prevent a blow-out from occuring.
  23. Drilling must begin with a designated surface depth, usually around 50-100 feet below the water table.
  24. Special care must be taken to prevent contamination of the water in the water table while drilling by isolating the water table and the wall with concrete and steel encasing.
  25. New sections of pipe must be added to the string as the bit drills deeper.
  26. When the hole reaches a designated depth, the derrickhands secrete fluid through the hole to condition it for logging.
  27. A “logging tool” measures the depth and condition of the hole for the oil company.
  28. The tool gives the information of whether or not the well can indeed produce oil or gas.
  29. At this point, it must be determined whether the well is to be complete or plugged and abandoned.
  30. If the well is designated as a producer, the crew must re-insert the pipe back into the hole to ensure the hole is still intact.
  31. To test the hole, mud must be re-circulated.
  32. Once everything tests positively, the drill pipe is removed.
  33. At this point, the crew must insert the last string of production casing running the entire depth of the hole.
  34. Then, the casing is cemented in the hole.
  35. The production crew then brings in the work-over unit and rigs it up to prepare the hole for production.
  36. The crew runs small diameter tubing into the hole as a conduit for oil or gas to flow through and up the well.
  37. Next, the work over unit trips out of the hole and picks up a perforating gun.
  38. The perforating gun is lowered into the hole to production depth using a thin metal cable called a “wireline”.
  39. An electrical signal is sent down the wireline, firing the gun and igniting explosive charges.
  40. These charges create holes through the cement encasing and formation connecting the well bore to the reservoir.
  41. To stimulate the flow of hydrocarbons (or oil), sometimes it’s necessary to “frack” the well.
  42. “Fracking” involves pumping air, sand and fluids under extreme pressure down the hole and out through the perforations.
  43. This fractures or forces cracks into the formation.
  44. The remaining particles will hold the cracks open, releasing the flow of oil or gas.
  45. Monitoring the flow allows the crew to determine the best location for the “choke”.
  46. The “choke” controls the flow of the oil or gas.
  47. Once pressure is released, the hydrocarbons are allowed the escape through the fractured zone and flow into the well bore.
  48. The oil or gas can now travel up the well casing string.
  49. The well bore is isolated from the surrounding formations with casing and cement, preventing any contamination.
  50. The final step is to install a pump jack or production well-head, or what’s called the “Christmas Tree”.
  51. It’s the time to produce the well and plan for any future field development.
Drilling for Oil - 51 Steps

I know this is minutiae that is boring to 30 second minds BUT the facts are that all the preliminary planning was being done under GWB and the
results of the changing of the mindsets from the Clinton administration from discouraging oil production to ENCouraging by GWB was then
manifested in oil production increase under Obama!

I know that 30 second minds think things happen magically.
Oil leases, contracts, exploration, etc. all take time and MONEY!
NO business will start a business if they don't think the environment is conducive.
Under Clinton it wasn't. Under GWB it was. AND as a result Obama gets the credit EVEN though Obama was totally against it!

I know this is minutiae that is boring to 30 second minds BUT the facts are that all the preliminary planning was being done under GWB and the
results of the changing of the mindsets from the Clinton administration from discouraging oil production to ENCouraging by GWB was then
manifested in oil production increase under Obama!

I know that 30 second minds think things happen magically.
Oil leases, contracts, exploration, etc. all take time and MONEY!
NO business will start a business if they don't think the environment is conducive.
Under Clinton it wasn't. Under GWB it was. AND as a result Obama gets the credit EVEN though Obama was totally against it!
The hell he was, he just made it as safe as possible. You're welcome.
 
Because we're not a bunch of Communists.....yet, jackass.

Nobody ever got rich from a tax break stupid.
Communism is a dictatorship that owns all industry and business, so you immediately are an idiot brainwashed jackass.We're talking about socialism which is fair capitalism with a good safety net and always democratic. But keep on being a brainwashed chump of the greedy idiot rich....

When you need your federal government to do everything for you but wipe your ass, then the Communists had one better on us.
That is far from the fair regulation of capitalism that makes socialism socialism, Cold War dinosaur dupe.

You cradle-to-gravers will be the end of this country yet.
Works fine everywhere else, super duper. And especially will hear in the richest country in the world...

Oh please, works for lazy people. In this country, people work for what they have--not depend on other people's money to get along. You want something, pay for it yourself. Before you try to turn this country into another socialist hellhole, move first.
 
Even Obama gets it.... fossil fuel is the solution. The fucker is celebrating it? When is the Left going to realize their boy now gets it?
 
The fact that he thinks he can get away with making that claim without the media holding him up to ridicule shows just how much he still thinks he has them in his pocket!

First of all, the media will always be his bitch. Second, Obama realized oil rules. Gore must be shitting himself.
 
Even Obama gets it.... fossil fuel is the solution. The fucker is celebrating it? When is the Left going to realize their boy now gets it?

What he says and what he did are two different things.

Democrats don't like anything they can't have total control over including energy. They want total control of energy, total control of healthcare, total control of firearms, total control of industry, total control of media.......

Now that we celebrate lower fuel prices, this big-eared dork is running around saying he's the reason for our fortunes.
 
President James Garfield, who became a substantial investor in oil lands, reported to an oil-lease salesman that he had discussed oil with many members of congress "who are in the business, for you must know that fever has assailed Congress in no mild form"
 
"Hopefully OPEC will be keeping oil flows as is, not restricted. The World does not want to see, or need, higher oil prices!" - Trump
