If we move to ethanol then the price of corn is going to go through the roof. Doesn’t Obama care about food prices? Why not let the market decide which energy is best. Right now the market is moving towards Natural Gas. Why don’t the Demonrats mind their own business?
Its pollution free compared to gasoline. [...]
Bush actively contributed to the rise in oil prices in 08 by spending billions of taxpayer dollars on oil to fill up the strategic petroleum reserves. Obama is trying to do what he can to lower the price by opening up the strategic petroleum reserves. Now you know the truth!!
the point is you [...]
eventually
do you think this will affect his reelection bid?

Obama has blocked 14% of domestic US drilling and revoked coal permits.
Do you think a businessman like Donald Trump would swing in for a 2012 win in such a case?
No… To relieving the taxes on gas that Americans pay at the pump
No… To public financing
No… To The states to have the right to vote on Offshore drilling… (Obviously something he doesn’t understand, or have a clue about. He wants us dependent on middle eastern oil, knows nothing about creating oil & safer drilling [...]
Today I have to pay 0.01 for a school tax. All land owners in Texas pay this. I also have to buy school supplies, WAY more than my child will use in 1 year, this is done EVERY year. They seriously request 500 pencils! Anyway back to topic. Is it fair for us Americans to [...]
With their moratorium on oil drilling, still to this day
Their obstructionist attitude to new drilling for oil, natural gas and coal
Can we safely say that Obama is creating an energy crisis?
I agree that the Ethanol fiasco is unfortunate. To subsidize an energy source that is more expensive, more corrosive to engines and more polluting, is [...]
The price of oil is rising while the rest of the stock market, along with people’s retirement savings is tanking. Is the great Obama going to do something about this, or is this the way he wants it?
I believe we need to get off of oil not only because of the environment but also because of nation security. We are financing our enemies. I have no problem with increasing tax on gasoline but it must be done slowly in order to allow people time to adjust and it must apply [...]
As President Obama and his team of regulators bring domestic oil production to a crawl via their moratorium on offshore drilling, standstill on drilling permits, and myriad regulations on accessing oil on public lands, is it any wonder that oil and gas prices are climbing toward the record highs we saw in 2008, prior to [...]
One of Obama’s arguments is that multinationals have paid an average tax rate of just 2% on their foreign revenues. While this may be true for companies that choose to have operations in countries with very low tax rates, the oil industry goes to resource-rich countries and operates under tax regimes that are often onerous. [...]
That’s what Mr Obama is saying. Personally, I don’t understand why it will take that long. If you do, please explain in defense of Mr Obama.
I think, we should pursue BOTH offshore drilling and alternative energy. Both will take time to take effect. Alternative energy requires change in our societal and [...]
The democrats and our hero Obama has said high gas prices are good?$&^&$$^&$! and he would have preferred a gradual rise in price.
The democrats refuse to drill for new oil and gas.
The congress has done nothing to address the issue and its affect on the middle class.
Its obviously being done on purpose and WE [...]
In this Cap and Trade Bill, there will not be anymore drilling off shore or on shore. Say NO and stop the madness!
This week a late night deal was struck on the national energy tax. Clearly, Speaker Pelosi is running a machine, and was able to strong-arm a number of moderate Democrats to stand against [...]
…(c.) less shore drilling, higher gas prices, and the biggest oil spill disaster in the history of the USA on Obama’s watch?
Maybe liberals should ride horses so we can reduce our oil consumption.
It bothers me that liberals could care less there is an oil spill in the Gulf when a liberal president is in charge. [...]

Now, there are talks that RAHM EMANUEL may be resigning in the next six to eight months because "he is fed up with the idealism of President Obama’s closest advisers" [...]
It’s kind of ironic that now that Obama is allowing off shore drilling, and then month later there is an oil spill near one of the regions, The Gulf of Mexico.

I even used the liberal NY Times as my reference because some of you only believe sources that have the liberal bias
Obama administration is proposing [...]
President Obama proposed yesterday a sweeping plan to allow for offshore oil and natural gas drilling along much of the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska. Environmental groups and many politicians from coastal states have opposed expanded offshore drilling, citing the environmental risks associated with spills. Under Obama’s [...]
President-elect Obama’s transition chief said Sunday the incoming administration is looking to reverse President Bush’s executive orders on stem cell research, oil and gas drilling and other matters.
He did promise allowing offshore drilling for oil and natural gas. So, are the repubs going to allow themselves to be bribed by Obama, or will the repubs do what the American people want and fight Pelosi and Reid on their government health care take over? Personally, I know the Repubs will sell out, what [...]
Can he help lower the prices of Gas & Oil by his first term?
What is Mr. Obama’s plan, and how will he help accomplish lowering the high prices of Gas & Oil?
Instead of drilling for our own oil on our own land and offshore why does Obama plan on just getting more and more oil [...]
The Bush administration has been in a big hurry to auction oil and gas leases on hundreds of thousands of acres of federal land before Obama takes over. A student in Utah made bids on some of these leases, never intending to pay, so that these leases would not be validly sold at this time [...]
The reinstatement of oil drilling bans and removal of millions of acres from oil drilling has resulted in a sharp reduction in US oil/gas drilling which makes us more dependant upon foreign oil. The oil industry states 500,000 jobs could be created immediately with US oil drilling but Obama and dems say NO! Every [...]

His close ties to his brother Obongo Hussein Obama, will give him negoiating power to refill those Stratigic Petroleum Reserves Bush is emptying
They are still in the business to make PROFIT. Does anyone really believe their executives put "Country First"? That oil could easily end up in China or India.
