Is Oil good,now that Comrade 0bama has decreed we can increase drilling?
- Thread starter August For President
- Start date
I don't think he's changed his mind at all. He'll say anything to get another term and if he does he'll go right back trying to make everyone purchase electric cars they don't want or can't afford and right back to screwing around with oil companies.. Trust Obama at your own peril.

No. Oil is not good. Oil is just still a necessary reality, thanks to recent Republican leadership acting as enablers for our national oil addiction.

He's no leftist, fanatical or otherwise. That's hog wash from the likes of propaganda semi-literates like fatso Limbaugh and "Lonesome Rhodes" Beck. Quoting slimy scum bags like that defines what YOU are.
It won't make any price difference. The neo-Nazi right is apparently unaware of it, but no new oil drilling or discoveries in the last 37 years ever resulted in decreased oil prices. Why do you suppose those mythical "loyal American oil companies" adopt the OPEC price, anyway? Golly heck, maybe those slime--who are the real power behind the ratbag nuts you quote and Hannity and O'Reilly--are just blood-sucking leeches, like everyone sane says they are.
But one thing we know for sure: You clowns will never figure that out.
Reality seems to elude you.
Keep doing what the Koch brothers program you to do and you'll never figure out ANYTHING.

It was a stupid move. Few people benefit from increased drilling, mainly wealthy oil executives and large investment groups that own much of their stock. (The amount each individual who has a pension gets from their increased profits is so small it's laughable to call that a benefit.) The workers get a benefit, but one that could be far better. US oil workers are significantly more likely to die on oil rigs than foreign oil workers because we have the loosest safety regulations in the world.
If Obama wanted to increase drilling (which I don't really support, but don't 100% oppose), he could have at least used it as a bargaining chip to get agreements on ending the oil tax subsidies, improving safety regulations, and (the only short-term policy that has a shot at lowering prices) reinstating the commodities trade regulations that were removed in 2000 before oil prices started to rise and volatility dramatically increased.
Obama has a frustrating habit of giving the Republicans everything they ask for and then negotiating from there even further to the right. He is great at arguing, but terrible at negotiating. Unfortunately, he doesn't govern towards his strength.
