Oil Industry Says Obama Did Not Tell The Truth! But Obama Continues To Hold USA Hostage As He Opposes Drilling in Arctic

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar being asked why the Obama Administration does not support drilling for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as a way to move America to Energy independence – particularly in light of the rising price of gasoline.
Salazar’s response was ridiculous. Instead of trying justify what he knows is not justifiable, he just said:

“We don’t believe that you need to drill everywhere, and we don’t believe that the “Drill, baby, Drill” program is the way that’s going to get us to the energy independence that we need for America or that will power our economy. . . . “

Oil Industry Says Obama Didn’t Tell the Truth
FOX Nation
Last week, at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told Congress that oil production in the Gulf of Mexico “remained at an all-time high.” Salazar claimed: “In 2009 there were 116 rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, in 2010 in February, 120, in February 2011, 126.”
He was lying.
This is from Energy Tomorrow blog reported
Salazar’s numbers distort the true number of working rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. According to Baker Hughes:
* Four days before the Deepwater Horizon accident there were 55 rotary rigs actually drilling offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
* On May 28, 2010, when the administration announced the six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling, there were 46 rotary rigs operating in the Gulf.
* Last week, 25 rotary rigs were operating in the Gulf of Mexico

Wild Thing’s comment…….
It amazes me how the left will NOT see it is all obama doing this.
US Oil reserves is largest in the world , shale alone has more oil then Saudi Arabia…get your facts correct Salazar !
There is something I really believe. Obama may be smart or stupid, we really have no idea because his school records have been locked and sealed away. His actions one would think he is stupid about many things, BUT the difference is that we know for a fact of his hate for America and for our Constitution and his racist feelings about white people. These are facts not our feelings, facts from the books he has done, from speeches and interviews he has done.
Putting these facts together we can come to a very true knowledge that obama is bound and determined to change, yep change his word, our country into something that our Founding Fathers nor any of us want to happen. His associations all socialists, communist and Marxists have shown us he is much more comfortable with them then good people, liberty and freedom loving people.
His actions are what we see too and they scream out at all of us his intentions. The businesses he has already destroyed as to what they used to be. And the oil industry is another one he wants GONE! His statements about it, his actions ( ignoring the Judge’s that have demanded he release the permits ) and his hate for the coal industry too is another clue how he wants to radically change our country and control things……and us.
I call him evil because I think he is. He lies with no conscience, no remorse. He twists information around with ease and his anger toward the American public is shocking and the first time any president has behaved and threatened we the people…..ever.
This oil issue is so huge , because it effects so many industries, so many products we all use day in and day out. By the time a person is out of bed and on their way to work they have already used several products that have come from oil. I typed uses for oil into Google one day and there are hundreds of things we use and don’t even think about that have something to do with oil.
So to me obama is doing all of this on purpose, and we have to keep telling people the truth about him and his agenda. I am so sick of the left telling me we need to get rid of oil. sheesh. Like it is stopping salt in ones diet. These people imo are stupid to the max.
