And I told you why.............The Arab countries hold us hostage for their oil and Obama by not allowing drilling here in the U.S. plays right into their hands....
Obama to Open Offshore Areas to Oil Drilling for First Time
No. Like any other POTUS he is Pro-Israel.
Keeps the funds going to Israel.
And I told you why.............The Arab countries hold us hostage for their oil and Obama by not allowing drilling here in the U.S. plays right into their hands....It has been said by experts in this country that that the U.S has more oil then all the Arabs combined.
I'd struggle to label Carter as pro-Israel, especially in the years after his Presidency.
Which, for the record, isn't necessarily indicative of out and out support. We supply Palestine and Pakistan with foreign aid as well. Does that qualify this administration as staunch supporters of either?
That is bull crap, in 2008 the US was importing almost 13,000,000 barrels a day and now only 9,800,000 barrels a day. And the imports from the Arabs went down from almost 6,000,000 barrels a day has gone down to 3,700,000 barrels a day.
And having oil does not mean it can be safely or economically extracted with ease. Fracking might produce oil but also serious consequences for the environment, the same goes for oil in nature reserves.

Do you ever get tired of being so painfully wrong?
LOL. Like it would matter to you?
I want us to get to a point where we don't import one gallon of oil from the ME and the keystone pipelife would be a move in the right direction.
The Keystone Pipeline would accomplish absolutely nothing to that end, since it wouldn't increase oil production at all.
I'd agree. I just thought I'd point out some less than reputable assumptions that some often rely on.Look at the rhetoric, and look at the actions. He is clearly pro-Israel.
How can you say **** like that? Keystone would millions of gallons of oil and provide this country with thousands of badly needed job......Kobie lay of the left wing koolaid.
As a caveat, Obama has taken a position on border negotiations that stray from recent administrations. To say that Obama has been pro-Israel would be accurate, but to say that his policies are exactly the same as his predecessors would be incorrect.Considering that Obama's policies on Israel are EXACTLY the same as the past 5 other administrations, if Obama is anti-Israel....I guess that makes Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2 anti-Israel as well.
The answer to our oil woes not drilling ourselves out....it is about new technology creating energy alternatives. We are already well on our way in that direction.
All the Keystone pipeline does is move oil from one place (Canada) to refineries. It is not an oil producing entity. You have quite literally no idea what you're talking about.
I rarely respond to your posts because they don't say anything.
