"....better remove all the coconuts"

With gasoline prices marching north, President Obama next week will take a break from worshipping the sun and putting his finger to the wind when he actually highlights energy projects that provide lots of energy.
The White House is desperate to repair the damage being done to Obama’s campaign by the price at the pump, and aides have suddenly begun portraying him as a great apostle of oil and gas drilling.
In what may go down as one of the worst political blunders of his presidency, Obama late last year bowed to environmentalists’ pressure and rejected the Keystone pipeline’s route through part of Nebraska, delaying by at least a year a major new source of oil just as gasoline prices started going through the roof.
Wednesday, he’ll be in Carlsbad, New Mexico to inspect oil and gas production fields located on federal lands.
Obama will be in Oklahoma Thursday – yes, Oklahoma – to “discuss his Administration’s commitment to improving and supporting the infrastructure that helps us leverage our domestic resources,” the White House said.
I assume these are code words for the infrastructure to get fossil fuels out of the ground, since he sure ain’t going to Oklahoma for votes. He’s more likely to strike oil.
According to ABC News, Obama will staging a photo op in Cushing, Oklahoma, which is on the Keystone pipeline project’s “southern route,” of which the administration approves.
Of course, the two day trip also features a solar facility and a meeting with people conducting “some of the country’s most advanced energy-related research and development.”
But the White House is clearly eager to show that Obama loves the non-advanced stuff too, since that’s what the country is going to be running on for the foreseeable future.
Brave man.
“Putting his finger to the wind?”...
...After pulling it out of his @$$...?
He was more suited to Disneyland or a Alice in Wonderland themed party.
I seriously doubt he will be on a federal lease.
He won’t be among friends. Everybody I know in the oil bidness despises his sorry ass.
bumping and pinging

Newt to Obama: This is What a Drilling Platform Looks Like
I have in my mind an image, of Newt, standing next to a drilling rig, saying, This, Mr President, is a drilling rig.
Another, standing next to a gas pump, with a sign saying 2.50/gal...a gal of Newt gas pretend sign, IOW.
Now look at this leftwing nut.
Reacting much, Barack???
Cameron gave him a lot of heat over "putting his boot to the neck" of BP way back then. I found a scathing article and should have posted it to any Keystone thread. I'll go look for it.
“improving and supporting the infrastructure that helps us leverage our domestic resources”
Whatever that gibberish gobbledygook is supposed to mean.
That’s funny;)
He probably does think oil fields are for growing coconut oil trees.
LOL!!!!
His second Muslim father made his money in oil.
Hopefully the severe weather sticks around for long enough to give him an appropriate welcome. A little fear of God in Barry would be a good thing.
I hope the roughnecks give him a piece of their mind.
He’ll look like Michael Dukakis driving a tank or John Fn Kerry in a bunny suit at a nuke.
Newt should plan to visit the same local on the same hour.
