who gets the profits from oil on "our" land and who cleans the mess up? Also, the oil co's already have plenty of land to drill on that they're not even utilizing.So, should the president "influence" the price of gasoline? Why? Why not?
Any President should influence the price of gasoline because it has an impact on our economy.
This makes the broader assumption that the President should be responsible for promoting economic growth, one I vehemently disagree with. Our nation is not a business and the President is not our manager.
Why would you be against a President causing lower prices on a necessary evil which helps the economy of the entire nation? When DumBama spent nearly a trillion dollars on the Pork Bill, were you against that as well?
Yes I was.
I'm against that kind of government because I don't think the state should have the power, let alone the responsibility, to make us "better". Instead, it should protect our freedom to decide for ourselves what constitutes "the good life" and pursue it as we see fit.
So do you know any American that doesn't think lower fuel prices benefit themselves yet alone the rest of the country?
This public land is just that--public. That should mean it belongs to all of us. If that is the case, why shouldn't we drill on public lands that have oil in them?
That's not manipulation, that's simply doing the smart thing with our lands.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Salazar says the administration wants companies "to develop the tens of millions of acres they've already leased but have left sitting idle."

Not one Obama hating wingnut predictor wants to yell about how Obama's rejection of Keystone pipeline and EPA abuses and his contempt for big oil was going to lead to $5 to $6 gasoline and destroy jobs and the economy.

They didn't rise. They went down immediately. Starting in July 2008 when the Alaskan exec-ordered offshore restriction was lifted. Then they dropped significantly when the major offshore moratorium expired at the end of September 2008.Wrong. The price dropped because drilling moratoriums were lifted and subsequent plans to drastically expand supply impacted the price. Exactly the same way fracking has done it this time around. Difference is that Obama had the authority to reimplement drilling restrictions but had no control over fracking on privately leased locations.Roshawn 12936503BTW, the price through much of the country was 1.35 on Jan 11, 2009, the week before the hack took office.
Catch up. It has already been noted on this thread that $1.35 a gal gasoline in Jan 2009 was during the Great Bush Recession and the U.S. Economy was losing nearly a million jobs a month.
So what do you prefer.
(A) $1.35 a gal gasoline while losing a million jobs a month. Approaching double digit inflation.
Or
(B) $2.00 a gal gasoline while adding a 271,000 jump in payrolls as reported for October 2015. Achieving 5% unemployment.
Thanks for acquiescing to a failed economy. You owe me $$.
When President Bush announced his plan why did prices continue to rise then?

Drill Baby Drill, Obama Tells Oil

Stop w/ the rw talking-points.

Suggestion: If you're going to post something, it might be a good idea to read it first. This post reveals the reason oil companies are NOT drilling on the land. As I posted earlier, getting permits of land is one thing, getting drilling rights is quite another.
A spokesman for the Department of the Interior, asked to respond to the industry's contention that DOI's report is both misleading and absurd, says, "The report speaks for itself. The notion that we have somehow locked up federal lands clearly doesn't square with the facts. Our goal is to continue expanding safe and responsible development, and we will continue to take steps to deliver on that priority."

That's Dottie in a nutshell! Spouting off about "rw talking-points" while citing articles that she hasn't read. If she actually HAD read the article then she'd understand why what the Obama Administration claimed was just more smoke and mirrors designed to fool the American public.
Last paragraph in the article:
A spokesman for the Department of the Interior, asked to respond to the industry's contention that DOI's report is both misleading and absurd, says, "The report speaks for itself. The notion that we have somehow locked up federal lands clearly doesn't square with the facts.

I'll take that over American Petroleum Institute statements any day of the week.
Hey, but for the oil boom occurring as a result of production on PRIVATE lands, oil and gas prices would be right where ONot one Obama hating wingnut predictor wants to yell about how Obama's rejection of Keystone pipeline and EPA abuses and his contempt for big oil was going to lead to $5 to $6 gasoline and destroy jobs and the economy.

Genius. The prices are as a result of oil being harvested on PRIVATELY owned lands. Gas prices are at current levels in spite of Obama's ridiculous energy policy.Not one Obama hating wingnut predictor wants to yell about how Obama's rejection of Keystone pipeline and EPA abuses and his contempt for big oil was going to lead to $5 to $6 gasoline and destroy jobs and the economy.

Oh cut the crap. Those permits are unproductive and if so, would make production cost prohibitive.Obama has given out more exploration permits than any other president. I recently read that his policies have led to oil/gas production that is equal to finding an entire Iraq.
The Keystone disaster shows that Obama is not in the hip pocket of the Koch's.
In spite of Obama's total commitment to "green" (LOL) energy..stupid fuckAnd production increased in the US, simple as that....Global demand is very low.... it is that simple.
Bullshit!Since when have right-wingers complained about about the price of gasoline going down, dumbass?
If you did not read what you are replying to why did you bother to comment. My point is not that rightwingers are complaining - it is that rightwingers were so vicious and boldly lying that Obama's energy policy was going to send gasoline prices through the roof and destroy the U.S. Economy.
Now that they have been proven wrong they have all shut up about gas prices wanting us to forget how ugly, misguided and unconcerned with facts and economic science when a buzzword like Keystone appears in their fantasy world.
Of course those RW'rs predicting $6 gas back in 2011 aren't complaining about low prices. They are complaining about being reminded how dishonest and dirty they are.
The previous GOP president and GOP Congress wrote the energy policy act of 2005 which mandated the investment into these alternative energy forms..Oblama is just following the energy policyIn spite of Obama's total commitment to "green" (LOL) energy..stupid fuckAnd production increased in the US, simple as that....Global demand is very low.... it is that simple.
The prices are as a result of oil being harvested on PRIVATELY owned lands.
