Obama’s Gas Prices
Editor, Times-Union:
Well, I see President Obama has launched his re-election bid today. Lucky us.
Do you realize gas is higher now than it ever has been? I know you Bush haters will scream it was higher on his watch, but if you do the research you will find that’s not so. If you Google oil in America, you will find some interesting reading.
Actually, you can find some reports that say one of the Forbes brothers made the statement that we have more oil inside of our borders than all the other proven reserves on earth. Now, according to this, we have eight times as much as Saudi Arabia; 18 times as much as Iraq; 21 times as much as Kuwait; and 22 times as much as Iran. If we have this much oil, why are we not getting it out of the ground?
Now, of course, if you read some of the responses coming from the government, you would think all we have here is a mud puddle full and that’s it. Somebody is not telling the truth here for sure. Here again, the American people are being held hostage by this administration.
I hear the president may spend upwards of a billion dollars on his re-election bid. I would guess a lot of the money used will come from special interest groups and tree huggers that say it’s all right to kill a kid but will stand in front of a tree so you won’t cut it down to drill for oil. While this goes on, the rest of the good old U.S.A. gets bent over another barrel of oil.
Another thing I would like to know is, other than the Demos taking off to Illinois, where was Obama at when our unions were coming under fire here in Indiana and Wisconsin? I didn’t hear any support. Ask yourself, is he really for or against us? Have a good day.
