Speakeasy forum: 4 u folks who complain about lack of oil drilling

The problem is that we can't be bothered to go to Alpha Centauri to check the Planning Permits.

This world has a lot of braggarts and most of it never comes true.

of permits allowed by Bush prior to BO's term and on private lands that the Feds have no say so over....however, the LOST Treaty will probably come up during the lameduck session for a vote and that affects offshore rigs, giving a tremendous amount of the Treasury's revenue to the UN to determine what 'poor' countries will receive. Once this treaty is signed and in effect, there will no stopping the UN then from formulating another Treaty that will also affect oil produced on our lands and not just in the open waters.

As for passing Saudi Arabia within the next ten years, we Conservatives have been saying for years that the US had enough oil to do that if drilling was allowed. We could have easily surpassed SA if BO hadn't pulled permits on Fed land four years ago because it normally takes about five years for drilling and production, and we could be at that point next year instead of ten from now.

I am sick of having leaders who pay countries that hate us........and this is just another way to do that.

I've been complaining that production on Federal lands was down by half or more and we could have already been pretty close to oil independence if BO hadn't stopped it all.

I've been saying that DEMAND is down which gives the impression of a surplus but that demand is down because nobody is working and using the fuel to go to jobs and those out of work can't afford the high prices in order to even look or do much on a recreational basis.

These are the people who have claimed all along that without deregulation NOW, then the US would always be behind.

NOW they want to say it was just a matter of time AND all attributable to their favorite son's efforts and those efforts alone.

Ain't it funny how they say it could NEVER happen under Obama's watch, and now they say it was always gonna happen whether Obama is in office or not? It's too bad we can't harness all that wasted energy from their hissy fits. That energy could have made the US energy independent YEARS ago.

which BO dismantled handily, and since BO won't be around in ten years, and much is being made on assumptions of policies not already in place, it's hardly worthy of an 'atta boy'. I have absolutely no faith in this president living up to this article's forecast ten years into the future anymore than I have faith in deficit reductions over the next four years that do nothing toward the national debt that will increasingly go larger according to the CBO's own numbers.

blaming the one who already had four years of garbage policies that he has to own and take responsibility for. After all, you had no problem with allowing him to blame Bush for everything HE inherited......so now he's inherited his OWN issues, right?.

Don't answer the questions you're asked, answer the questions you want to be asked.

And you're not even running for political office.

... where he had his staff hand pick the audience and in some cases had the spontaneous questions given to the audience before they even got up to the mike to ask them.

It's pretty bloody amusing to see someone complain about "soft" interviews considering.

why you bashed Bush so much when he was president, but now that Obama is in there and doing much of the same, suddenly it's just wonderful with you.

could have saved four American lives??? Instead, we got an administration that was so determined to convince the US people that Libya is 'normalized' that they were willing to sacrifice their lives.

... of all the attacks on US embassy staff over the last 10 years. There were something like 5 such attacks during the Bush administration, a couple of which resulted in more deaths than the one in Libya.

Where was the Republican outrage then?
