waved his pen...........

http://www.scribd.com/jaykjz9124/d/78897808-Under-OBAMA-Oil-and-Gas-Production-on-Federal-Land-is-Down-40

under Obama, there were the fewest onshore oil and gasleases issued since 1984.

³It¶s not that Obama is devoid of responsibility,´ said the Heritage report, authored by Rob Bluey.³His administration oversees oil and gas production on federal lands by issuing leases. But whenmeasuring oil and gas production in areas under Obama¶s jurisdiction, the numbers tell a differentstory.´

The House report also said Obama has had only one offshore lease sale in 2011, and that was in December, ³narrowly´ avoiding making 2011 the first year without an offshore leasesale since 1953.

And oil and natural gas production on federal lands has plummeted by more than 40 percentcompared to just 10 years ago.


on top of it Obama Rejects Keystone LX Pipeline and he takes no responsibility for gas national average of $3.80, mean wile Obama's wind, solar, battery powred cars, are complete failure to lower the price of fuel


but give me 4 more years and i will fix it all

I realize you are too stupid to engage in real conversation but there's a reason they're using cherrypicked numbers. Why do you think they're looking at oil production compared to 10 years ago instead of compared to 3 years ago if their point is to attack Obama? Hint: because the numbers for three years ago don't show so much of a difference.


There have also been fewer lease applications. The cheap easy to get oil on federal lands is mostly already leased out and being pumped. Of course there are going to be less new leases because there are more existing leases. Good lord some of you partisans will eat up anything.

The Keystone XL pipeline will have nothing to do with the price of gasoline as the oil it will carry is too "heavy" to make gasoline cheaply from.

Plus, the purpose of the Keystone XL pipeline is to get the oil to the Gulf refineries rather than the Midwest refineries so the oil can be shipped out of the US/Canada. This should cause a bit of increase in US oil prices, not a decrease.

Poll posted:

As to the question of whether a president "can do a lot to control gas prices," theNew York Times/CBS News poll found that 54% of Americans believe they can and 36% saying they can't.



We're doomed.

Also, the comments on that site are a riot. Tons of morons who seem to really believe that gas would go down to $2.50 tomorrow if Obama just waved his pen.

Are you sure you don't want to enforce voter ID and limit some of these voters?

Oil/gas production on federal lands is down because almost all of it is offshore and offshore production in the US is tapped out and has been for many years. Oil production on land was actually up 4% last year.


Oil production on federal lands in 2011 was up 11% from 2008.

That's SoCal for you.

Also, prices were low in 2009 because we were in the middle of a massive economic meltdown. If we destroyed the economy again we could probably have low gas prices. Maybe that will be the Republican 2012 platform? "Destroy the economy, cheap gas for all!!!11"



I already thought that's what their platform was.

1. Cut all federal spending except for their war buddies
2. Cut all education, non-creationism sciences, social welfare programs
3. ....
4. Profit???

Only a Republican can wish for things to go back to 2009 levels.
