Obama Says Drill, Baby, Drill?

Odumbo is even dumber than I thought.

“clearly there is no principle so dearly held that he [Obama] will not contradict himself on it.”

After this Ani, cant see how I could possibly comment other than to wholeheartedly agree.

“There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy,”  ”Making sure your tires are properly inflated – simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling – if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much!” 

This quote was one of my favorite – What an idiot!

The left, again, gives him a pass they did not give to Palin when she campaigned with the slogan “drill baby drill”. 

I just don’t believe obama is “appeasing” the republicans.  He’s doing whatever is politically expedient to complete an agenda that was set in motion the day the power elite chose him to be the next president back in 2004 when they made an unknown, unaccomplished state senator to be the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic Convention. 

This isn’t about dems vs repubs and obama not showing any backbone.  I wish it was that simple.  This is all about the “puppet”  completing the final phase of enacting a corporate takeover of the U.S. government.

Thanks for the video JM.  I have been reading comments here for about a year, but have not commented until recently, so I’m new at this.  I just can’t sit back and watch what this congress and Obama are doing anymore.  It seems that everyday there is news of something he is contradicting himself on.  It is so sickening.  I believe Pelosi even called offshore drilling a “Hoax” This is crazy.

Thanks again for the video.

No, it is not “Odumbo is even dumber than I thought,” it is the people who listened to and believed the great orator.  Many of us realized he was a snake oil salesman and tried to convince others but we usually ended up being called names.  Obama will do what is most expendient for him and he doesn’t give a damn about the American people. 

He has done in a day what Bush II could have never done in 8 more years. It is incredible. He really is the one. I will admit, now I am torn. The only reasonable explanation is that he is a corporatist. I know he didn’t oppose Nanzi on health care, but we didn’t get any public option but instead a giant corporate power grab. He has bailed out the banks, Wall Street, Insurance, Pharma and now has turned “drill baby drill”… he’s turning into Palin. I am torn. He is a corporatist, which I despise. But he is decimating the far radical left, which I despise more I think. I am thinking I might have to vote for the guy in 2012. I know… crazy talk I know.

11. No public option. Intensified drone attacks. Gitmo still open. And now offshore dilling. This is not the same Barak Obama I voted for.

 This is not the same Barak Obama I voted for.

(Oh YES IT IS!) If you had only LOOKED!

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

That one  cracks me up!

I would like to personally thank all the writers; Ani, LisaB, Rev Amy, Mr. Huey, Grumpy Old Man, Bronwyns Harbor , the”staff”, and Larry Johnson for their endeavors in making number 11 the most insanely hilarious comment EVAH!

I think we can thank the media for getting Obama elected.  I remember writing on CNN and MSNBC, but never getting my comments posted.   Those of us who knew this would happen are of course not surprised, but all we can do now is vote them all out. I’m all for term limits, hence the name of course. Here in NJ I know who I’m voting for.  It’s quite ironic that my senator, Lautenberg, led the investigation into Bush administration paying columnist to report favorably about his policies.  I think a couple of writers were fired. I wonder if Lautenberg is concerned about the media today?  Don’t think so!

Actually, that comment of O’s isn’t as half baked as it sounds. I’m too tired to do th emath but according to recent U.S. Geological Survey’s, the amounts of technically recoverable crude at sites like ANWR and the Gulf is small relative to the daily amount of crude that we use in the U.S.  If both of those sites could be tapped tomorrow and they were our only source of crude, we would deplete them both in 3 or 4 years. However ANWR would take a round 25 years to extract the majority of the oil. So conservation methods, including keeping tire inflated would save a signifcant amount of oil each year. Possibly on par with what we might be getting out of ANWR as we tap it over the estimated 25 year period..

Dowmstic drilling is good for the oil comapanies bottom lines and it would create some jobs. It will however do squat for our long term energy needs.

Oh and yes Ani, I don’t know this is to get Conservatives onboard, because I can’t picture any of them supporting his Cap and Trade-Away.  And they already called out how weak the proposals are.

And funny how he is opening up areas that didn’t want it, like Florida, but isn’t opening up the areas that DO want it, like Alaska.

And, most already know Obama.  You can’t trust him.  He will most likely renege and now people expect that.  So, they have to wait and see he does it before making a deal.  This guy has so many conditions attached that he would pull it at the drop of a hat.  Just ask some of his fellow Dem’s or all the folks under his bus.  

I must have said it a thousand times… not a socialist, but a corporatist. This is the only thing that reconciles how he could be so much like “Bush”.

We should have voted for Hillary in the primaries…

Ya think?

Miss M, so true, where’s our resident troll?  

But you do realize, the Republicans….some Dem’s and Inde’s actually want more.  Obama is stretching it out over years…after years of studies and won’t open up some of the richest areas.

I really just see Obama pissing off everyone with this move.

But she was “divisive” and “shrill”. Remember? That must be why she was chosen to SOS. 

 So conservation methods, including keeping tire inflated would save a significant amount of oil each year.

Theoretically we could save a tiny percentage IF every car was running on underinflated tires.
And every car in the country inflated all 4 tires.
I doubt we would save the amount of oil that Obama stated John McCain would get from drilling under his feet where ever it is in the video above.

I would look to see how much in bribes, er, “campaign contributions”, Ozero received from the oil companies.

control baby, control……………….

Yeah, I didn’t have much of any comments to make on this current situation myself, because I think the commenters I shared from the Times said it all.  By the way, the ones I posted were the ones that had the MOST agreement by other readers — in the hundreds.  The comments the Times “featured” on their front page were more like the typical propaganda, with very little agreement or “recommendations.”

Well said.  Even when he says he supports off shore drilling, he can’t even do that right.

To quote the Gipper, “Well, there he goes again..”

Oh!  I hope it’s that book I’m going to buy a case of!  How exciting!

I hate to say it, but this is one of those things that I am afraid President Obama had to do. We are not anywhere close to having a viable and sustainable alternative energy source. Wind, solar, and other forms of alternative energy looks good on paper, but in reality they will not be able to replace fossil fuels any time soon. As we all know, fossil fuels are not renewable so they will not last forever, however, our modern civilization depends it. We need to find a viable alternative solution, but tying our own hands on purpose and watch our society crumble is not the answer. I wish there is a better solution, but right now there isn’t.

I still have my “Obama Energy Plan” tire pressure guage. It’s not very accurate though.

I can not believe this. Trading the exploration ban for votes on the climate bill (if that is the intention) is counterproductive. Thank you for your post Ani. I have been lurking for a while, but this absolutely makes me ill. (Bonnie AKA Elise)

This was a slap in the face to Sarah Palin an Alaska.

Watch how her detractors in Alaska blame her for Obama’s decision.

Notice to that he cancelled what was already put in place by President Bush, which would have given us Oil sooner.

DRILLING PLAN OPENS NEW AREAS BUT HALTS ALASKA SALES

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/apr/01/obama-gets-slick-with-oil-gambit/

Isn’t it ironic that before there was a Tea Party the left accused Hillary of only having tea parties with foreign leaders when Bill was president.

They insisted he had more foreign experience since he lived abroad as a child!  And Hillary could have and would have run circles around the bozo.

His supporters are such fools.  Isn’t it odd how they were touted as smart?

Dumb as dirt, the lot of them.  No common sense at all. 

FROM SARAH PALIN:

Many Americans fear that President Obama’s new energy proposal is once again “all talk and no real action,” this time in an effort to shore up fading support for the Democrats’ job-killing cap-and-trade (a.k.a. cap-and-tax) proposals. Behind the rhetoric lie new drilling bans and leasing delays; soon to follow are burdensome new environmental regulations. Instead of “drill, baby, drill,” the more you look into this the more you realize it’s “stall, baby, stall.”

Today the president said he’ll “consider potential areas for development in the mid and south Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, while studying and protecting sensitive areas in the Arctic.” As the former governor of one of America’s largest energy-producing states, a state oil and gas commissioner, and chair of the nation’s Interstate Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, I’ve seen plenty of such studies. What we need is action — action that results in the job growth and revenue that a robust drilling policy could provide. And let’s not forget that while Interior Department bureaucrats continue to hold up actual offshore drilling from taking place, Russia is moving full steam ahead on Arctic drilling, and China, Russia, and Venezuela are buying leases off the coast of Cuba.

As an Alaskan, I’m especially disheartened by the new ban on drilling in parts of the 49th state and the cancellation of lease sales in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. These areas contain rich oil and gas reserves whose development is key to our country’s energy security. As I told Secretary Salazar last April, “Arctic exploration and development is a slow, demanding process. Delays or major restrictions in accessing these resources for environmentally responsible development are not in the national interest or the interests of the State of Alaska.”

I’ve got to call it like I see it: The administration’s sudden interest in offshore drilling is little more than political posturing designed to gain support for job-killing energy legislation soon to come down the pike. I’m confident that GOP senators will not take the bait.

Next week I’m headed to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, where I look forward to discussing what “Drill, baby, drill” really means.

Yes FF, this is what I and a lot have been saying for a long time. Fossil fuels pollute, yet CO2 is the least of the pollutants produced. I never saw the fixation on CO2 except it tainted the carbon exchange idea for me. Yes look at anybody’s house… take the most frugal of us and solar panels won’t do it right now. We need better and less expensive when mass produced solar technology first. Else, it is foolish to try and convert for the purposes of replacing electricity. Then look at places like Florida… you need air conditioning 10 months of the year else everything electronic in your house will ruin even if you could stand the humidity yourself… your TV and computer can’t as an example. I like the idea of sustainable living, we just aren’t anywhere near able to do it across the board with the technology we have right now. So, to me drill now and instead of buying people inefficient solar panels… fund research into something which will be actualy viable to replace fossil fuels.

Obama gained foreign policy experience as a child, yet Hillary gained none as first lady… yes, I remember. Also Palin gained none as the governor of a state that actually borders to Russia. They even turned that into a joke.

You were against it when obama was against it, and you are for it when your leader is for it.  you still don’t see that it is all political maneuvering and he really doesn’t give a rats ass and he really isn’t going to do anything to make things better, he’s just going to sell out to the highest bidder and then take over the industry.  Did you see maxine waters tell the oil companies yesterday that the gov’t  will take over the oil companies and socialize the,?  He wants to nationalize our energy supply.  He wants to have all the eggs in the gov’t basket.  You aren’t the least bit worried he is taking over everything and he is doing it so rapidly and with the millionaire socialists in congress.

And you are a blithering bot with no opinion of your own.  Whatever obama does you will find a way to support it, even when you had the opposite opinion when he found it convenient to take that stance.

wake up robots, your leader is a freaking joke.

That Obama, ya gotta love him–NOT!  This should be the end of his white liberal support.  It won’t go down well in Florida!  First Jeb ruins the Everglades; now Obie is gonna cover the Gulf beaches with oil.  Idiot.

We aren’t close to having alternative fuel because Obama has not promoted it as promised.  If Hillary had been in the WH, we would have a thriving Green Manufacturing industry by now and electric cars.  There ARE viable alternative fuels, but Bush and Obama are not leaders who will take on the oil industry to bring those fuels forward.  There a tons of other measures that could be taken as well to conserve fossil fuel, but Obama has shown no leadership in direction, either.  He’s established huge social programs by EO, he passed HC by partisan vote, he could do something practical about fuel but the Obama Dems don’t have the political will. 

I only disagree on one point.  It’s not with the help of the millionaire socialists.  Obama was put in office with the help of the American Corporate Elite across the board.  Every American should be aware of that.  They were the same people who put George W. Bush in office.  I really wish conservatives would get off this socialist kick and start realizing we are much closer to becoming a FACIST state than anything.

How many ways can one man hurt the country? By the end of four years I thing we will find out.

WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

Wow, Hillary was going to change the laws of thermodynamics? 

OOH! YUCK!  I’m a big science fiction fan.  I’ve been watching the replays of the old series called V on the Science Fiction channel and getting a big yuck over the alien evil women with their 80′s big hairstyles.  And then, of course, getting really into the new V. 

I will be picturing in my mind O opening his big jaw and swallowing a baby now all day long.  SICK, SICK, SICK

But that doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re not right in your assessment of the mindless obots.

She could have passed a law to repeal it.

They also contain some impurities such as sulfur that gives back SO2 which causes acid rain. Not to mention the benzenes which are almost always carcinogenic. Of all the things that come from fossil fuels the CO2 is the most benign. All anybody cares about now is the CO2, now that it has been monetized. See the problem? It’s the monetization of pollution. Once the carbon exchange gets going, we won’t ever get off of fossil fuels. It’s funny to me as an old style republican to be the one worried here about the things in fossil fuels that aren’t CO2. To me CO2 isn’t even a problem, but the other stuff is very serious.

Ani, people would LOVE to find a PUMA book to buy, if only to validate what happened to Hillary and us all, and there are others who will buy because the MSM didn’t do their job.  And yes, there are PLENTY of people who would welcome a book written by YOU!

I truly am so excited….

If I recall the survey numbers put the amount of technically recoverable crude in ANWR at between ~4billion at 95% confidence) and ~14 billion barrels at 5% confidence, with around ~7billion at the 50% confidence point. So the ~7billion barrel figure is a reasonable guess.  We consume 3,389,390,000 barrels of crude/yr to produce just the amount of gasoline alone that we burn. So ANWR represent around 2 years worth of gasoline for the country. We use over 20 million barrels of crude per day in general so ANWR reresent less then a years worth of oil for the country.

If i recall the amount in the Gulf of Mexico is simlar. Roughly  a years supply of oil for the country.  So over the two decades or so it will take to drill and tap it all it will probably provide some great paying jobs and make the oil companies some money, but the amouint of oil at those sites is not going to solve our energy issues.

So conserving gasoline by improving mileage by even a few miles per gallon will make that 2 years of gaoline in ANWR go furthur.

Just for the sake of discussion. The U.S. Geological Survey puts the amount of technically recoverable crusw at ANWR at around 7 billion barrels with  a reasonable confidence level.  They expect it to take roughly 25 years to extract it all. We use around 3.39 billion barrels a year to produce our gasoline in the U.S. So if we use a number like 27 mi.gallon as the average fuel efficiency of the gas burning fleet and increase mileage by say 3 mi/gal by keeping tires inflated and vehicles well maintained, that extra 3 mi/gal will have saved 7 billion barrels of oil in ~21 years. Roughly what we will have pumped out of ANWR.

Ted Kennedy and his poodle, John Kerry, OPPOSED windmills off the MA coast but Kerry is okay with oil rigs off the coast of OTHER states.

Watta punk Kerry is. He is now consulting with the big oil companies to make sure they are happy with the legislation he (John Kerry), Lindsay Graham and the “lovely” Joe Lieberman write.

Or in other word he was against CapeWind before he was for it.
