This commie clown occupying the White House is a serial liar. During his “energy speech” the other day, he told so many half-truths and outright lies, that the MSF’in’M naturally ignored, because they’re not the least bit interested in being journalists, but rather cheerleaders for this corrupt administration and Obungler’s re-election.
So, the capitalists at Investor’s Business Daily put together a list of Obungler’s five biggest lies he told regarding our energy policy since the POS became President. They called them “whoppers”, but whoppers come from Burger King, while lies come from Obungler’s mouth every time he moves his lips…
5 Biggest Whoppers In Obama’s Energy Speech
Energy: The White House billed President Obama’s energy policy speech as a response to mounting criticism of record high gas prices. What he delivered was a grab bag of excuses and outright falsehoods.
Obama’s main message to struggling motorists was: It’s not my fault, so stop whining. The speech only got worse from there, recycling excuses and myths that Obama’s peddled for years. But there were some standout whoppers that deserve debunking.
The five biggest:
“We’re focused on production.”
Fact: While production is up under Obama, this has nothing to do with his policies, but is the result of permits and private industry efforts that began long before Obama occupied the White House.
Obama has chosen almost always to limit production. He canceled leases on federal lands in Utah, suspended them in Montana, delayed them in Colorado and Utah, and canceled lease sales off the Virginia coast.
His administration also has been slow-walking permits in the Gulf of Mexico, approving far fewer while stretching out review times, according to the Greater New Orleans Gulf Permit Index. The Energy Dept. says Gulf oil output will be down 17% by the end of 2013, compared with the start of 2011. Swift Energy President Bruce Vincent is right to say Obama has “done nothing but restrict access and delay permitting.”
“The U.S. consumes more than a fifth of the world’s oil. But we only have 2% of the world’s oil reserves.”
Fact: Obama constantly refers to this statistic to buttress his claim that “we can’t drill our way to lower gas prices.” The argument goes that since the U.S. supply is limited, it won’t ever make a difference to world prices.
It’s bogus. New exploration and drilling technologies have uncovered vast amounts of recoverable oil.
In fact, the U.S. has a mind-boggling 1.4 trillion barrels of oil, enough to “fuel the present needs in the U.S. for around 250 years,” according to the Institute for Energy Research. The problem is the government has put most of this supply off limits.
“Because of the investments we’ve made, the use of clean, renewable energy in this country has nearly doubled.”
Fact: Production of renewable energy — biomass, wind, solar and the like — climbed just 12% between 2008 and 2011, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.
“We need to double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising.”
Fact: Renewable energy simply won’t play an important role in the country’s energy picture anytime soon, accounting for just 13% of U.S. energy production by 2035, according to the EIA.
“There are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices.”
Fact: Obama could drive down oil prices right now simply by announcing a more aggressive effort to boost domestic supplies. When President Bush lifted a moratorium in 2008, oil prices immediately fell $9 a barrel.
Obama said in his speech that Americans aren’t stupid (other than those who voted for the POS- BiB). He’s right about that, which is why most are giving his energy policy a thumbs down.
Tags: Leftists, Moonbats, Obama Boom, Politics
His lie about “his administration” boosting production higher than it’s ever been – is bullshit as well. That increase in production is taking place on PRIVATE land in North Dakota – which he can’t touch.
Also I’d love for him to be asked about ANWR. That was supposed to produce what – a million barrels a day when finished? How’s that “it won’t be ready for ten years” working for ya a decade later?
And here’s one thing you can do to bring gas prices down, asshat. Ask Congress for a one-year moritorium on federal gasoline taxes and ask your blue state governor buddies to request the same.
Good post, Bob. All of the above are lies because the true goal of the Obama regime is higher energy prices. He has told us so.
7 Gas Facts Obama Cannot Escape
Also, I don’t expect Bumbler to be conducting a press conference any time soon while prices are like this – not with that renegade Jack Tapper waiting in the wings – because I have no doubt that he’ll say something like “well, it looks like you’re getting that $5 a gallon gas you didn’t have any trouble with and those skyrocketing energy costs!”
ROTFLMAO… This Soooo belongs on this thread…

@ huckfunn:
Amazing, isn’t it – how much traveling and gas use this clown is doing on the taxpayer’s dime? By the way, isn’t there some rule that incumbent campaigns are required to reimburse the taxpayers in proportion to the time spent campaigning vis-a-vis acting in an official capacity? I recall that your campaign doesn’t get free plane rides just because you’re President. And I recall when Bush was running against John Effing Kerry, much was made on the left of Bush flying to campaign events in AF-1 and his campaign advising that they reimbursed the taxpayers for its use.
Because if you think GAS is expensive, ask the pilots how much AVGAS and JET fuels are running.

Guess I should have PIMF’ed that last comment. The formatting got garbled.
He is doing everything to make sure gas prices and energy prices sky-rocket.
He is going to shut down coal plants
He is going to shut down coal mining.
He is saying natural gas is not going to be allowed because of ‘fracking’ is hurting the earth.
He isn’t issuing any leases to drill oil in the gulf or on the lands that may have oil underneath, saying again it will hurt the earth.
He nixed the Canadian pipe-line that would go to Texas to be refined.
He is shoveling tax payers money at a break-neck speed into green energy that is going bankrupt and producing nothing in the form of energy.
Have I left anything out? I am sure I have.
Only blooming idiots think high gas prices are good. It will be rise the cost of food and anything else that is transported by plane, trucks and trains.
Then again, there’s Algae-zeera!

@ Lily:
The only religion Obama respects is Islam. Notice how much more cogniscent of the needs of the murdering Mohammedans in Afghanistan Obama is compared to the needs of the Catholic Church in America. His stance is very telling. I don’t really think Obama is a closet Mohammedan. I think he is an Atheist, with a large dose of Black Liberation Theology, and a hearty respect for Islam that was trained into him at Madrassa in Indionesia…
