OBAMA.......THE MISLEADER -IN-CHIEF.......OIL PRODUCTION

What Obama is telling the American people about oil production is nothing more than misleading statements.
And he does it because he knows he can get away with it, because the Main Street Media is not going to fact check him.  So when most people watch the evening news they see Obama say these things and the media not questioning anything he he says.

Here are a few examples with those irritating things that Liberal/Progressives hate....FACTS.

"Oil Production Is Higher Now Than Over The Last Eight Years."

Technically true, but it is in spite of Obama, not because of him.  All the new drilling permits were signed back when Bush was in office (now this is something that Obama could blame Bush for).  Since Obama has been in office he has shut down numerous oil rigs and closed federal land from drilling.  And the increase in production has come mostly from "private" lands, not "federal" land, where Obama only would have control....
and what did he do a few weeks ago??  He personally called Congressmen and told them to not pass any legislation that would approve the "Keystone Pipeline" from Canada.  But this week he was down in OK taking credit for cutting all the red-tape to get the pipeline from OK to TX built.......but what the media won't tell you is, this pipeline was going to be done no matter what Obama did or said.


Obama Claims His Administration Is Issuing Permits And Leases For Drilling Like No Tomorrow 


Well for 20 - 30 years, all we have heard from the liberal green earther people is that drilling for oil won't help oil prices because it would take 10-15 years before the oil would be online....well Obama has been in office for 3 years..... soooo...... how is his administration issuing permits and leases like there is no tomorrow helping anything???
But you know what, if we would have started drilling 20 - 30 years ago.....WE WOULD BE PRODUCING THAT OIL TODAY !!!!


We use 20% of the worlds oil but we only have 2% of the world’s oil reserves

Again technically true, but this is a common refrain among anti-drilling Democrats and environmentalists, and it’s repeated enough that many people accept it as true.  The number comes from a highly conservative estimate from the Energy Information Administration totaling America’s proven reserves where we are already drilling. 

It does not include the more than 10 billion barrels available in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

It does not include most of the close to 100 billion barrels available offshore in the Outer Continental Shelf, most of which President Obama has placed under an executive drilling ban.

It does not include the 800 billion barrels of oil we have locked in shale in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Those shale resources alone are actually three times larger than the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia, so the claim that the U.S. only has 2% of the world’s oil is clearly misleading......
