Shouldn't the liberals be up in arms complaining we are using up other countries natural resouces for our own self enrichment?

...when we have our own natural resources to exploit.

“This guy is just plain stupid. He doesn’t realize how many uses there are for oil. Just plain dumb!!”
~~~~~~~~~~~`

It IS possible that Obama could be that stupid, but not his entire administration. More and more, Obama depends that his statements of “fact” are targeted to a comatose audience and a MSM who has been dumbed and numbed down to be nothing more than a puppet of the fascist regime.

ALL: Is there any video of this quote? That quote should be used in a loop in juxtaposition to the facts of oil in a GOP candidate ad.

GGMac: Ditto what you said!

“Show us” a windmill or a solar panel that can make the same things, we get from crude oil. Here are some examples from petroleum crude oil, natural gas, Fuels: like gasoline, diesel, Kerosene, propane (many people use propane to heat their homes), heating oil Heavy bottoms, like asphalt, bitumen, tar Petrochemicals, used as a feedstock for many everyday products: plastic gadgets, tools, bags, toys, candles, clothing: polyester, nylon, hand lotions, petroleum jelly, perfume, dishwashing liquids, ink, bubble gums, car tires, ammonia, heart valves, lipstick and many more. Ethane and other short-chain alkanes which are used as fuel Diesel, Fuel oils, Petrol, Jet fuel, Kerosene, Liquid petroleum gas(LPG), Natural gas, Alkenes (olefins) which can be manufactured into plastics or other compounds. Lubricants: light machine oils, motor oils, and greases, Wax, used in the packaging of frozen foods, among others. Sulfur or Sulfuric acid. Either put up or shut up!

Exactly. Show me a windmill or a solar panel that can power a car.

Windmills and solar replace coal, not oil.

Sort of reminds me of the good news - bad news joke involving Martians, their diet, and urine.

If oil is a fuel of the past, I think Obama should shun AF-1, he needs a whole ‘nother motorcade, I also think Obama and family should live COMPLETELY green!

No hair products or makeup for the family, hand woven cotton or silk clothing, no heating or cooling in the WH unless it is solar. Only solar driven lights, ice-coolers for refrigeration as all those moving parts do require oil. That is a start.

You and your family go first, Mr. President! After all, you are the first family.

Totally divorced from reality.

What is really sad is not that this guy exists, but that we have an electorate that voted him into office and a Fourth Estate that gives him a pass on pronouncements like this.

Obama said that because the United States accounts for 20 percent of the world’s consumption of oil but has only 2 percent of its petroleum reserves,

Obozo thinks he’s cute juxtaposing those numbers. 2% of the worlds reserves is one FECKLOAD of oil.

If we didn’t have oil, where would we get the ashphalt to pave the roads for those shovel ready jobs?

OK then use solar to fly around in AF1! How about the beast use solar or wind for that as well.
I wish he was of the past!

Yes, he is just plain stupid. His speeches are childish. His answer to every question is that it’s ‘complicated’. Also, he suffers from dyscalculia. He is afflicted with narcissism.
