Obama falsely claims credit for America's energy boom
2013-03-19
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] During the Friday event at which President Obama announced $2 billion in new green energy subsidies, he erroneously credited his administration's "all of the above" energy policy for the nation's increased oil and gas production. "We produce more oil than we have in 15 years," he said. "We import less oil than we have in 20 years. We're producing more natural gas than we ever have before -- with hundreds of thousands of good jobs to show for it."

The numbers and facts that Obama cited were all correct. But his claim is still false, unless he can somehow claim credit (and we wouldn't necessarily put it past him) for placing massive shale deposits below ground stretching from Texas to North Dakota and from the mountain West to western Maryland.

#12  Well, to be fair he can also claim credit for the renaissance in 2nd ammendment understanding and purpose; perhaps just in time to train a million Coffeyville's against the largest Daltan Gang plan yet.

Just depends on how bad the squint is.

#9  Given the man put his hand on a bible and said he'd defend the Constitution of the United States, why would anyone but the brain dead sheep believe him.
