So according to your model, a president cannot drive prices down, so your problem is with bigrun?

And, sorry to say, there was no true surplus. There was an accounting trick used during the Clinton administration to show a "surplus" for a couple of years if you "don't count" social security - which you kind of have to since it's also in the general fund. And Clinton touted a "peace dividend" which was a nice way of saying cuts in military preparedness. This is now coming home to roost. At all times we had a large debt on the order of trillions so the term "surplus" needs to be qualified in any case.

And your guy Obama is the 18 trillion dollar man. He has taken us to the cliff's edge. And you know where that spending is going - the Democrat bread and butter of social programs. The bottomless pit where we will continue to throw our ever declining dollars into.



Sounds like you are having a bit of an emotional reaction to just how bad your guy has turned out to be. Sorry but even you will have to put up with him for two more years, as will the rest of us.

My definition of ignorance is someone that looks at an issue and always has a response that is the party line. Unwilling to have an original thought on anything. Lazy thinking.

My problem was with both you parrots. Both parties are equally as bad and at fault. That basically has been my stance all along. Obama's performance at addressing the jobs crisis has been abysmal. For you to say that we would be better off if the Republicans were in charge after they took us to the brink of a depression just boggles my mind. We would be where we are or worse. Just like 8 years from now we will be in the exact position. The problem is with the process. Citizens United cemented any chance that we would get out of this mess regardless of whose colors are flying at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC.

It looks like the Saudi's strategery for knocking US shale oil producers out of the market is in full bloom.

Not that the current administration would mind.

Nothing. My point was that his interests typically coincide with his environmentalist supporters, who wouldn't mind seeing US shale oil production decrease. Hence he -- and they -- wouldn't mind what the Saudis are doing. They might even welcome it.

When you consider the top 10 oil producing countries account for 63% of the world's production and other than the 17% representing the US and Canada's share, it is split up among Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, UAE, Venezuela, Kuwait and Iraq with some of the above named countries funding terror groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. A reduction in price/profit has to be a net-good thing.

The country used 134.5 billion gallons of gasoline in 2013. A dollar a gallon in savings has to offset the jobs/money lost due to a reduction in domestic oil production. Especially when you consider how much U.S. money is going to the 8 countries mentioned above.

Despite the $3 billion payoff in U.S. taxpayer money given to these clowns by BO.

from what i've seen, domestic oil production has actually increased under obama. that while emissions have decreased.
we have to get a handle on things as far as pollution and the green house effect, we can only do so much to this planet...if it gets ruined, it's not like there's another planet nearby to go to!
