Obama’s Drill Ban May Trigger Job Losses, Slow Gains

This is what you do when you have no idea what you are doing..just stop doing anything.

The BP thing was an accident...stopping drilling will not change that...
What it will do is raise energy costs, costs a whole lot of jobs, and that's it.

Sorry liberals, you might not like it, but we need oil..thats a fact.
So Obama campaigned saying we have to lower our dependence on foreign oil, yet he stops us from drilling.
If you don't like drilling in the water, then how about in the Dakotas? How about in Alaska where no one lives? Why not there?

Because you don't want to drill anywhere..

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

And the master speaks:

Highlights:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or as she is called on the Big Dogs blog, "the worst speaker in the history of Congress," explained the cause of high oil prices back in 2006: "We have two oilmen in the White House. The logical follow-up from that is $3-a-gallon gasoline. It is no accident. It is a cause and effect. A cause and effect."

Is that why a barrel of oil costs mere pennies in all those other countries in the world that are not run by "oilmen"? Wait -- it doesn't cost pennies to them? That's weird.

What a disaster having people in government who haven't spent their entire lives in politics! That explains everything. A government official with relevant experience or knowledge about an issue is obviously a crisis of gargantuan proportions. This must be why the Democrats are nominating B. Hussein Obama, who finished middle school three days ago and has less experience than a person one might choose at random from the audience of "American Idol."

Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: "Just eat a little less every day." Great! We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a "plan." We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.

But there's more! Pelosi announced that the Democrats also plan to push for "an historic investment in biofuels, efficiency, conservation and the rest." The "rest" is apparently what she called our "important and essential" investment in alternative energy. That certainly would be historic: We would make history by throwing our money away on unproven energy boondoggles that have eaten up untold billions since the 1960s without producing a single net kilowatt of power while we all starve to death. The proposal to use energy sources that don't yet produce any energy is like the old New Yorker cartoon with Obama in Muslim garb -- no wait, that was a different cartoon. The cartoon is: A scientist has written out his extremely complicated theory on a blackboard and is showing it to another scientist. The theory consists of numbers and characters and takes up the entire blackboard. About two-thirds of the way across, reading left to right, appear the words, "then a miracle happens," followed by more numbers and characters.

Democrats are also alleging that the oil companies are sitting on millions of acres of oil but are refusing to drill -- presumably because oil company executives hate the American people and perversely don't want to make money. Manifestly, those acres are being explored for oil or have already come up dry.

If the Democrats really wanted oil companies to find more oil, they'd allow oil companies to drill offshore and to drill in ANWR, which we happen to know is bursting with oil. But they don't. They don't want drilling. They don't want more oil. They want humans to ride bicycles and then to die. We deserve it: We were mean to the polar bears. It's good to know that in the middle of a crisis, the Democrats are still liars. As long as we're fantasizing about "alternative" energy sources, what we really need is a car that runs on Democrats' lies.

Oil Sinks Below $139 on Worries About US Economy

One line is very interesting as to why oil is down so much today:

Restored production in Brazil despite a strike and a restarted pipeline in Nigeria also helped pressure crude after the weak dollar earlier had pushed crude prices above $146.

So these two things caused oil down over ten bucks a barrel, but liberals try and tell us that putting millions of barrels in the world market will do nothing.
If congress passed a bill letting drilling start up again gas would immediately be down to 100 bucks a barrel.

McCain offers $300 million for new auto battery

I'm one step closer to being an actual McCain supporter and not just a BHO hater...

I thought of something like this two months ago...but it was a little different.
I said the first car company who can make a car that runs with NO oil, is safe and cost effective doesn't have to pay taxes for 5 years.

See, here is McCain giving another actual idea toward a solution to a problem.
That is much different than BHO who just spews out 1970's Carter and dirty hippie talking points that didn't solve anything in 1970 and they will do nothing now.

McCain plan: drill now while trying to get new technology
BHO plan: Raise taxes and bitch.
