No, not unless you think that 50% of the voters are backcasts, hoski's, Dakota Dans, and Rats. I'm placing my bet on the Pro-American Party.

What? What did hoski post? Republican congress? Obama hasn't done much to "flat line" My GAWD!! The guy pushed, and on the stump everyday in front of his monitor selling the trillion dollar stimulus package!!! The guy got in front of the monitor daily selling his massive ObamaCare package! The guy brought on a 47% increase in the national debt in but two years that took sevaral centuries to accumulate! A total failure, and such a failure he won't even talk about either one of those "flatliner" caused bills because they'v been such a horendous failure! Then he goes on vacation telling the voters that when he comes back he will have a jobs bill that needs passing....then he comes back. It is another massive 1/2 trillion dollar tax payer bill to create jobs! Same as the first stimulus bill!!! Not even the democrat controlled Senate would pass the crazy, destructive bill!!!!!!!!!!! Forget about the Republicans. Hoski is even making the Rat appear to have some commonsense!

Yes, And why hoski wants to avoid me under the guise I am rude, and call him names. That is an easy way to avoid, and debate the facts. I've witnessed enough liberal responses to know their strategy for staying in power...always attack the messenger. Every conservative talking head in the national limelight is regarded as an extremist, a supporter of the rich at the expense of the rest of us. Seldom ever about the talking points. Only when they see a possible opportunity, a gaff, etc. They want to control the MONEY! They want more taxes, because they want the govt to control how it is spent. They do not want you making decisions as to how you want money spent even though it is far more efficient, creates a lot more jobs, and provides for those in need much better than they can provide for those in need. It provides you more freedoms, etc. This administration is also intentionally effecting the charitable giving wanting the money spent the way they want it spent. That is why they never have seen a tax they haven't liked. And they will do everything they can, personally, to avoid them. They want you to pay them. Ask most liberals why welfare failed so miserably according to the statistics, and the trillions spent on welfare, and if they answer, most will say that not enough money was spent on welfare.

That was the problem with BPs environmental plan, it was simply a cut and paste of the Exon Valdez including sea lions. No plan at all.

But about oil production. America has taken a dramatic shift away from foreign oil through increased domestic oil, efficiency, and alternatives. The less money we send to Venezuela or the middle east the happier I am. Instead of looking for more i'ts time to use less.

PigHunter,
According to USNews, The Obama administration announced plans Thursday morning to lease out 38 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico for oil drilling and exploration in hopes to increase domestic oil production. According to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the areas to be leased out could hold 1 billion barrels of oil and 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
So when you say things like Obama slows oil production, or words to that effect, they’re simply not true. This isn’t fiction, this isn’t some campaign rhetoric, this is plain fact. If this is the kind of crap you would like me to “lighten up” on, I can assure you I will continue countering falsehoods. Perhaps you are just referencing the permitting process, which we know by comparison to the last administration’s habit of simply rubber stamping lead to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, is indeed somewhat longer, albeit more thorough. You see, we now understand that BP’s environmental impact study concerning the restoration of sealions in the Gulf was useless.So if the permitting process was indeed your intent, why not just say so, instead of posting the lie about Obama stifling oil production?

I also see mention of half truths concerning the Keystone pipeline. Why not tell the whole truth?
The first part being, Obama hasn’t denied the pipeline will ever be built, he simply choose to stick to the time frame where adequate study will be performed. Perhaps if as much due dillegence had been performed prior to the Gulf disaster we might have avoided that particular experience…a rather good thing wouldn’t you agree?
Next would come the implication made that somehow the construction of the pipeline is some kind of silver bullet that’ll end our jobs problem. We all know the estimated jobs numbers are inflated…but any net plus is a good thing. Further, the net amount estimated to be piped is roughly 700K barrels a day, hardly game changing figures.
Finally, as I have repeatedly posted, the crude the proposed pipeline would carry is contaminated. It requires extra steps at refineries to become useful, thereby adding to it’s final cost.
