Oil everywhere and not a drop for U.S. motorists – will it undo Obama?
The Orange County Register blog Orange Punch ^ | 3-21-2012 | Mark Landsbaum

Posted on 03/21/2012 3:08:58 PM PDT by landsbaum

Despite his change of the U.S. economy into a hope-less version of Europe’s, President Barack Obama, the self-proclaimed fourth greatest president ever, could still be reelected.

Go figure. That may say more about us than it does him.

But despite economic woes, joblessness, so many people out of work for so long they quit looking, soaring debt and deficits and the looming threat of even worse on the horizon (ObamaCare), the likable but arrogant president could emerge victorious in November.

Unless…

We have plenty of oil but not enough refineries, just like the oil companies want. The money to be made is in refining shut a few refineries down the price of gas goes up, it’s called free market capitalism.

Actually the EPA closed down the refineries in the NE but hating the oil companies is very popular for O’Rino Repubs.

No- Obama’s supporters do well by keeping US interests and troops mired in the Middle East.

Soros owns over 100M in Raytheon- Carlyle.

Obama’s first appoint in the first week of office was that of Carlyle group lobbyist William Lynn as Deputy Director of the Pentagon.

That graphic should be a Newt Gingrich campaign ad with the addition of $2.00 early in 2013 after Newt takes office.

I have no idea why so many people would like an arrogant prick? I never thought those were qualities people liked in their president. It gets even more confusing when you add whiny and corrupt to the mix. I guess I am out of step with half the country.

It's pure capitalism, the money to be made is in refining the oil less gas in the pipe line more profits for the the refiners pure d capitalism.

There is a very good book on this subject it is all about the 7 sisters of big oil.

No. The Republican Party will ensure that it doesn’t.

Actually, anyone that calls what is happening to America “free market capitalism” is not a RINO. Sounds more like a leftist/socialist (communist w/a smiley face) to me!

No. Actually there's still debate about that. My reference was to the accusation that "Big Oil" is supposedly clogging up refining capacity to drive up prices. The EPA has been steadily increasing restrictions on refineries for years. Not to mention State bureaucrats and laws imposing blend formulas on refiners that require them to constantly change thier processing.

And you can't spell either....

And on top of the refinery restrictions, you have brainless politicians like our incompetent President and Senate Democrats blocking pipelines to bring oil to those refineries.

My company is increasing our drilling capacity as quick as is humanly possible. We have managed to increase manufacturing to maintain the number of drilling motors that we have in the field. But we're also building more motors to expand our fleet. That means even more parts to maintain those new motors. As with everyone else in this business, it's ball to the wall! And it has absolutely NOTHING to do with what The Boy President is doing!
