What bothers me and has always bothered me about this man is his ability to flat out lie to people, but always leave the way to say BUT...he does it with his followers and his detractors, and the followers will repeat it and repeat it because he says it so pretty until they actually believe it.

This morning in Oklahoma, he said....


"Under my administration, America is producing more oil today than at anytime in the last 8 years."

Now that happens to be true and that is where he stops. Now does that not make you feel as if he is doing a splendid job ?

Well, FACT is despite it being true, the production is up ONLY on state and private land, NONE OF WHICH OVER WHICH HE HAS ANY CONTROL. Oh and by the way, it is DOWN something like 12% on federal land.

I did not coin the phrase, but do not listen to what he says..watch what he does.

Just paid $4.59 a gallon for reg. in nw suburbs of chicago,I think we are still on winter blend and when they switch will be $5.00 real fast.Got to be bad for Obama don,t think anybody could win with these prices.Glad it my last week here,Will be driving much less when their

and the bush boys kissed up to the foreign oil interests and sold our national security down the river for their own profit.

I'm sorry but a radio station is NOT a primary source of information especially when it is in a very limited way trying to paraphrase a government report without citing any true specifics. It did not attempt in any way to balance its' reporting. The EIA table itself shows so much variation from year to year there is no true mathematical downward trend shown....overall terribly reckless reporting.

I am sure you forgot to add your valid link so we can all share in what you know !!!

Those doggone government reporting agencies....I will speak to them about how "reckless" they report.

Going to be great when they control your health care, eh ?

am I the only one who wonders why for the last 2 years everytime the price per barrel of oil went up the price of gasoline went up accordingly and the escalating price of oil was tendered each and every time as the reason?

So now that we are trained to accept $3+ per gallon all of a sudden the escalating price per barrel of oil is not the issue!?!?!?!!

And if we had more oil domestically than from foreign producers is not an advantage?

If you buy that then you have been sucked in. There is no way that having increased domestic production is not the long term solution. The problems we are experiencing is the demand on the existing out of oil from those countries that now have it. We have not done anything to negate the speculation on what has become the norm....that being the USA imports more than 70% of the oil it uses.

Drill baby drill is a political red herring. Domestic drilling increased capacity is only one part of a multi facited effort by the USA to become energy independent. The price of gasoline as has always been the case is a function of CURRENT supplies and demand.

Energy independence is the issue at hand and we, CONTINUE, to do nothing about it, hence we are at the mercy of the current supply scenario.

The energy dependendence issue IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. and like too many of you.... I DO NOT BUT THAT.

The Administrations plan for us to pay European gas prices came out. The can't put that back in the bottle no matter what bull they spread.

This from a Dem....



"Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif., supports building the Keystone XL pipeline, but faulted President Obama for "waffling" on the pipeline and described Obama's trip to Cushing, Okla., as "idiotic."

"They don’t build statues to wafflers," Cardoza said after saying that Obama's trip in support of the southern half of Keystone was just "highlighting a waffle," according to Roll Call. Obama's State Department initially blocked the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline -- stretching frm Cushing, Okla., to the Gulf of Mexico -- citing the need for more environmental studies and a new route for the northern portion of the pipeline."

""I think it’s the most idiotic political move I’ve ever seen," Cardoza said, saying that Obama commit to a position and not change, according to Roll Call."
