Obama Touts Climate Change Legacy, Then Takes Credit For US Oil Boom

Former President Barack Obama said he was “extraordinarily proud of the Paris accords” before, rather ironically, taking credit for booming U.S. oil and gas production.

“I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris accords because — you know, I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy, and by the way, American energy production,” Obama said at an event hosted by Rice University’s Baker Institute on Tuesday night.

“You wouldn’t always know it but it went up every year I was president,” Obama said of U.S. oil and gas production. “That whole, suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people.”

He simultaneously brags that he treated global warming as a very serious issue, while bragging that he increased US generation of the global warming gasses allegedly causing the problem.

As Don Rickles would say “Obama, let’s face it, you’re a nobody now.”

The Kenyanesian Usurper tried everything he could to choke off energy production in this country.

Not ONE of our elected and appointed would stand up for the Constitution.
The Constitution says he can’t be President.
It’s just a piece of paper if not upheld.

I remember Hamm the guy who discoveredand developed the Balkan oil fields meet with Obama , Hamm told Obama how large the reserves were and Obama dismissed it as “old technology”. Obama used to say “we have 10% of oil reserves and use 40% of the world’s oil, we can’t drillour way out of this”. Now he takes credit? What a clown. Of course no one in lame stream media will report the truth about Obama’s BS

Obama will say he created the conditions that drove oil producers to invent fracking and horizontal drilling.

Obama is like the man that said “I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong.”
All in all I’d rather the left take credit for good economic policies that the originally fought than that they continue to say we can never drill our way out of declining energy production.

This is the guy that cancelled unused oil leases and cancelled oil lease auctions for off shore oil drilling.

The doublethink runs deep in this one.

Jim, please delete. nature of abuse = narcissistic personality disorder.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

4. Requires excessive admiration

5. Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

6. Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

7. Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

9. Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

THE SOB? (Son of Barack?) scores a perfect 9!
