Obama Lies Again About Opening Off Shore Drilling!

March 5, 2010

Dear Patriots ~ Be sure to follow the link below for the latest promise broken by President Obama: stalling offshort drilling until 2012. You read that right. Apparently President Obama was too busy campaigning in the summer of 2008 to notice the impact that paying nearly $4.50 a gallon for gas had on the economy and our households.

Our President is also apparently unaware that nearly 75% of Americans are in favor of responsible offshore drilling. (Silly us!) As the link below points out, “According to the Minerals Management Service, there are an estimated 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Outer Continental Shelf, collectively representing a clear path toward being able to ignore OPEC and foreign dictators for our energy.

Developing these resources would also create hundreds of thousands of jobs annually and generate billions of dollars in tax revenue for the government.” This is the fundamental problem with having an inexperienced ideologue running the country. The will of the people? What’s best for the country? What’s best for Americans? I know… don’t make you laugh (or weep).

This week, Americans twice witnessed the Obama administration flagrantly disregard the will of the people to pursue his anti-job, anti-growth, and anti-freedom agenda.

First, President Obama officially rejected the overwhelming opposition of the American people to his big government health care bill and endorsed using the budget reconciliation process to pass it.

What is reconciliation and why is it a threat? Newt’s newsletter from Wednesday explains it in detail. Click here.

Then, in a less publicized maneuver, the Obama administration’s Department of the Interior once again delayed the possibility of more domestic offshore oil production by stalling any new development until 2012. This latest delaying tactic is despite the fact that in the Department of the Interior’s public comment period on offshore drilling, Americans preferred more offshore drilling by a 2-1 margin.
