Oil Workers Protest Obama Visit
FOX News
CUSHING, Okla. — The President is scheduled to speak in Payne County this Thursday morning. It may be rural Oklahoma, but when it comes to pipelines, it’s the Capitol. The President is expected to talk about energy, though many in that industry are not impressed.
They are even planning to protest his visit, calling it a political ploy more than a genuine interest.
Mike Cantrell with the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance says, “For the last three years he’s been anti-fossil fuels.”
Mickey Thompson, an energy industry expert and political analyst, says, “He calls our industry an industry of the past and they’d like us to go away.”
Wild Thing’s comment……
The enemy going to visit the oil workers….oh that will be a great day. sheesh. If I was there I would want to look Obama in the eye and walk away.
Maybe he’s going to tell them to pipe algae.
Into the heart of the Oil Patch. No, obama is not admired in Oklahoma. My neighbors to the north will not give him a rousing reception. obama will have to fly in his own cheering section.
Bob, LOL good one.
Tom,heh heh you know I had not thought about that, I can just see that happening too. hahaha
