Enjoy the cheap oil while you can

Moonbat Messiah to Nix Drilling
To no one's surprise,this didn't take long:

U.S. President Barack Obama may order a hold on a proposal issued in the final days of the Bush administration to expand offshore drilling in previously banned areas, an Interior Department official told Reuters on Wednesday. … Separately, the Interior official said the department's plan to develop oil shale fields in the western United States may also be stopped by Obama's order.
Cheap oil is likely to shorten the recession, which Obama needs to worsen if he is to strangle what's left of our economic freedom and move us toward socialism. Thus it's important to prevent us from drilling our own oil.

Fortunately, we don't need the oil anyway, now that we're in the era of rainbows and unicorns. We can just fill our gas tanks with Hope and Change.

Not recognizing $100/barrel oil as a national security threat was arguably Chimpy's biggest failing. Onogga is determined to miss the same lesson

Where do you get off making a comment like this?

Is the bread you eat on momma's sandwich not your bread because the grain was grown somewhere else?

Once you pay for it...it is your's.

We have payed and payed and payed for not only the actual price of the barrel of crude but for the technology, the blood sweat and fucking tears of the mean that had enough brilliance and balls to find it, drill and refine it and we payed for the protection, Militarily to make it so.

Fuck off simple chimp and also fuck mvscal for continuing to refer to George W. Bush as a chimp, bad decisions and horrible spending he did. Mvscal has no degree from no where, has mastered the controls of no plane and has kept the world safe from nothing but his seed and that only happened because he is fat fucking wannabee no combat veteran military groupie.

You know it's the truth or you would claim your outfit, and your date and your time to live with the greatest.


WOULDN'T YOU MVSCAL?

Nice Yoda reset but mvscal didn't refer to Bush as a Chimp in this thread. That, and as if it mattered, he has mentioned his outfit and MOS in the past as far as I remember.

Dude's a soldier through and through.

[PSUFAN]

I always wondered what folks had against chimps when they said that.

Let it go PSUFAN, all that hate is gonna burn you up inside (Red Dawn). He's gone.

HE'S GONE .... reminds me of a song ....

And whoever knows the history behind this song ... very appropriate .... apparently

Rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better but
I know him
Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face
right off you head

Now he's Gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Nine mile skid
on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol
but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof
Dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but
smile, smile, smile

Now he's gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe on some high cold mountain range
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
Knife in a back and more of the same
Same old rat in a drain ditch
Out on a limb
You know better but I know him

Now he's gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone....

Your candor is quite refreshing.

Have you forgotten the Brezhnev Doctrine already?

Whatever you can nail down is yours. Whatever is not nailed down is mine. Anything I can pry loose is not nailed down

It's not your oil. Stop sounding like such a collectivist.

The companies that drill for and refine that oil are American in "P.O. box" only.
They kick back some taxes that your crooked government spends increasingly less of on its people every day.

How is it not our oil? Oil under the ground of western states of the US is not our oil? Oil within 200 miles of our coastline and in our exclusive economic zone protected by UN convention is not ours? Bullcrap!


President B. Hussein Obama is not stupid so I don't know why he would put this off? He supported Senator Schumer's proposal to force the Saudis to produce an additional 1 million barrels per day back in May so clearly he understands some of the supply and demand forces on prices. If additional production was good back in May, why not now? Why have OPEC increase their production when we can do the same here at home? Hell, he can start to help the economy by letting oil companies create more jobs. If allowed increased domestic production would put people to work. Rigs need to be manufactured, sites prepared, supplies moved, driiling operations need staff. On and on and on.

At the same time he might not be that bright after all. He also supported a "windfall tax" on oil profits this summer. What he and others on both sides of the isle fail to recognize is big oil is making no more in profits than other US companies. Oil companies made 8.1 cents per dollar of sales. (Source: Investor's Business Daily, Thursday May 22, 2008.) Funny thing is that is the same as all other US manufacturing companies. Far, far below what companies like Microsoft makes per dollar of sales. And just how is it that a windfall tax is going to reduce prices at the pump? Most of the time these tax increases are passed along to consumers who see the end price rise. He also seems to forget what happened the last time a "windfall tax" was levied against oil companies. Oil production shifted rapidly to the Middle East. The expected revenue from the tax was less than 25% of what conservative estimates predicted. Thanks, Mr Carter.

It is just amazing that 62% of the oil reserves under Federal Lands and 41% of natural gas reserves under Federal lands are off limits to drilling. (Source: Dept of Interior, BLM report titled "Inventory of Onshore Federal Oil and Natural Gas Resources and Restrictions to Their Development" Section 3) Would love to see President B. Hussein Obama's explanation for further restricting available domestic production.

[RadioFan]

Oil is going to go back up in price.

Even if John McCain were president.

Sin,



Are you tards seriously having an argument about this?

Oh yeah, it was Cuda who started the thread.

Remind me to start a thread later about how there might be layoffs in this economy, and about how there might be a push for alternative energy.

You people keep using the word our...

When it comes to wealth and natural resources, suddenly you all become the collectivist, Che Guevara t-shirt wearing proletariat.

But when it comes to shouldering the burden of debt, you whip out your tricorne hats, tuck a few volumes of Lysander Spooner under your arms and proclaim to be a nation of individuals, where everyone is expected to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.

God, your a daft twit. It is ours as in, the US's. How does this make us commies? We do have debt, and it is OUR responsibility to pay it. It is not our responsibility to keep generating new debt for idiotic programs.

[Left Seater]

Our = United States. Surely you cant argue with that.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Infantile collectivist thinking.

Big pile of money = ours

Big pile of debt = somebody else's mess
