Gee, do you think that might have something to do with Obama wanting to
get the U.S. economy off oil and coal? There are billions of people just
waiting to start living like Americans do. Unfortunately, to do that means
they will have to use oil like Americans do. The more they use oil the
more the demand will go up and so will the price. The future isn't hard to
foresee. Oil is going to be in short supply and the prices are going ever
higher. Obama knows this very well and that is why he's doing what he's
doing to try to wean us off oil. Then you have the other side saying drill
baby drill, as if that will change anything. I'll take Obama's route any
day of the week. At least it may work. Trying to come up with enough oil
for everyone to live like us is a fool's errand.
