I would blame a regressive or a conservative comprehension of the matter.

Let's face it, Obama is not only intentionally destroying this nation's ability to produce its own energy, he is intentionally destroying this country. What he is doing to the energy sector is but one example.

And the worst thing is.. he's doing it by pitting us against each other. He sits high on his perch watching the gladiators in the lower arena... and then he turns his thumb down. I think he has delusions of grandeur and sees himself as some kind of emperor...

One of the only areas in the private sector economy that is growing, profiting and creating jobs is the oil industry, the exact industry Obama is always attacking. Look at North Dakota, there is an oil boom going on, one in which Obama has zero control over, because they do not need federal approval. But that does not prevent Obama from taking credit for it any way.

OBAMA: "Under my administration, America is producing more oil today than any time in the last eight years. Under my administration, we've quadrupled the number of operating oilrigs to a record high. We've got more oilrigs operating now than we've ever seen."


He even takes credit for reduced oil consumption due to a failing economy, that is so weak and pathetic, that our use of energy has shrunk. He takes credit because businesses fail, or cut back on production, and people out of work, cannot afford to drive as much.

"Since I took office, America's dependence on foreign oil has gone down every single year. In fact, in 2010, it went under 50 percent for the first time in 13 years," Obama said.

YIPPEE!! Maybe if he can destroy our economy more, we will see a further drop in our economy, as we need even less energy to drive our economic engine, and maybe even more people will give up looking for employment, drop out the US workforce, and cause a decrease in the coveted U3 unemployment numbers.

No one running for president can possibly be as bad as Obama has been, we have over two hundred years of precedent to make that assumption.

That, right there, proves the problem with the kind of people Obama must deal with, to steer the ship in the right direction.

Well, we can only hope that the things Obama has been doing are now sooooo taboo, that no president for the next few generations will make the same mistakes.
