$6.00 a gallon for gas in Florida

Gas has risen 80% since obama has taken office. Maybe he should think about lifting the ban on off shore drilling. Nope I guess he want it will go against his plans to destroy America.

Arctic drilling set to increase under Obama plan - Nov. 8, 2011

Which ban is that?

There are 474 more rigs targeting oil than last year. Rigs drilling for oil represent 63.8% percent of all drilling activity which is the highest percentage since 1998.

Rig Count: Rotary Rig Count and Workover Rig Count

Prior to the meltdown at the end of President Bushes final term the price for a gallon of gas was arround $3.50. During the meltdown prices dropped and as the economy started to move so did gas prices.

10/19/2008 3.4990
11/04/2008 2.2390
11/24/2008 1.8790

Today, prices again are at about $3.50

you're falling for the oldest trick in the book, but I don't blame you becasue I did too its hard to keep track....go back to feb april 2009 and you'll read same....those 'leases' are options for exploration....when they are actually pulling crude and refining it from those leases, I will applaud, till then, its all woulda coulda maybe....


What on earth are you talking about? The rig count is the number of active rigs drilling for oil. It doesn't list producing wells or wells that are in the planning stage. It's up across the board drilling for oil. Down for drilling for natural gas.

There is no new ban on off shore drilling put in place by President Obama.
 
During the meltdown prices dropped and as the economy started to move so did gas prices.

Fewer people are working today than when Obama took office. Fewer people going to work means lower gas demand. Prices should be falling. Government is the reason gas prices are now rising.

It is a world market. Demand is up worldwide. The reason prices are rising is due to speculation.

Less US demand means that US refiners can (and they have) started exporting gasoline in large numbers.
 
Prices aren't high for lack of supply; drilling offshore would do nothing to lower the price at the pump.
 
Here's some more scary facts for you!

THINGS COST MORE THAN THEY USED TO!
Young people use CURSE words.
Oh yeah? And do you know the reason gas is so high out there in taxpayer land?

Because Barack Obama closed American drilling down in the Gulf and Cuba brought their Russian buddies in to take up the slack, just south of where it is now $6.00 a gallon.


DOH!!!!! :rolleyes:

Vote Republican in 2012 & turn that gas puppy around.

Actually there are a record number of deep water rigs in the gulf of Mexico drilling for oil right now. Look for even more records to fall in the near future too.

U.S. and Mexico sign*pact on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico* - NY Daily News
Thank you for the link, Blind Boo.

From the link:

The cooperation stems from an understanding that President Obama Calderon reached in 2010 to share in the profits and work together to avoid spills. Clinton said the deal would “ensure safe, efficient, responsible exploration of the oil and gas reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico.”
Actually, the deal increases the competition AMERICAN oil companies, whom the Clintonistas despise, and eliminates American companies from taking profits for its own drilling and furnishing a sometimes hostile border country with more money than it already has. Do you know the richest man in the world is from Mexico?

That's because they can work a man to death in short order for less than it costs to raise a family. IOW, the rich of Mexico will now entitle themselves to more money than they will ever share in their society, as a gift from those who are happy to give away American assets to anybody but the American entrepreneurs who emblazoned a trail of scientific improvements in oil procurement and deserve remuneration for their methods.

Obama has decimated American oil companies who didn't vote for him and given their rights away--American rights away--to other countries.

He hates the states who didn't vote for him, and a lot of them are located in areas where drilling benefits the American people.

We can't get him out of office soon enough.

He isn't getting everything he wants, so he's allowing Hillary Clinton, the expert at destroying other Americans' rights to take her best shot at shutting down the American oil industry.

It's wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!!!!! :evil:

Out with the Democrats! They gave away the Panama Canal after OUR GRANDPARENTS dug the damn thing and many died from malaria or were forever weakened by getting it. That was Americans dying for getting American East Coast companies to their pacific markets efficiently. Now, we pay a double price for what once was a lot cheaper.

It's madcap to give away American ingenuity and technology to people who didn't have to work very hard getting there, and I'm tired of Democrats pinpointing their rivals and setting them back a thousand years when they get the opportunity to do so.

Wars have been started for less than what Obama is doing to American companies.

Obama is the problem here, vote him out.

Oil states should not have to forfeit assets so Obama can preen himself in front of 300 million people.

Oil states should not have to forfeit assets so Obama can preen himself in front of 300 million people.

The Transboundary Agreement, as it is called, will make up to 1.5 million acres of offshore territory claimed by the United States available for leasing as early as June, though the leases will not become active until a pact is ratified. The Interior Department estimates that the area contains as much as 172 million barrels of oil and 300 billion cubic feet of natural gas, relatively modest amounts by the oil-rich gulf’s standards.

“Mexico doesn’t have the resources to combat a major oil spill, and the United States does,” said Jorge Piñon, a former president of Amoco Oil Latin America and a current research fellow at the University of Texas. “Coordination and sharing communications, training, personnel, equipment and technology are essential for safe and productive drilling.”

Gasoline prices are on the rise, and Republicans have blamed the administration for being slow to approve more domestic drilling. With the new agreement, coming at a time when the White House is moving closer to approving drilling in Alaskan Arctic waters

It wasn't just Obama. Congress just did away with the tax cut at the pump & reduced gasolines competition on January 1, 2012. That is the reason gas prices stopped falling, suddenly spiked & have been rising every since. Enjoy the higher gas prices! Congress & Obama hates the poor!!!

He totally shut down new American drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. It didn't take his mutually benefitting political buds in other countries a millisecond to figure out his gift to them. The partnered with Cuba and are now drilling wells close to the Florida Coast well away from currents that would drag the spills away from Cuba and to the coast of the United States.

That gives them a hell of a hammer over our heads when they decide they need "foreign aid" or war words like North Korea.

Russia is already partnering up in Venezuela to give Chavez "nuclear power plant technology," and a Russian base is being built in Venezuela to make sure the United States is screwed when our adversaries circle us like mad dogs.

Obama, the president who is doing just what his pastor told him to do for 20 years--performing undertaker procedures for our society whom Jeremiah Wright told his paritioners, "GOD DAMN AMERICA!!!" at the top of his voice.

Venezuela is also friendly with Iran's Ahmadinejad, who has assured Venezuela if they are counterthreatened by America, they will be all too happy to send their technology his way.

This President is destroying our country by proxy to his fellow America-haters, and we will be in serious trouble if this keeps up.

He's doing things that can't be undone, and Hillary is showing him the way.

Good God. The freakenstein Obama administration is giving away American jobs to foreign countries? Is he getting money in a numbered account somewhere for his generosity? If so, I think an impeachment should be effected immediately for high crimes and misdemeanors.

I demand an investigation into this President who is the Manchurian candidate for listening to 20 years of Jeremiah Wright's "God Damn America" schtick.

He really is trying to get God and everybody against us by giving away the people's access to good-paying jobs in the Gulf of Mexico by giving away American assets for nothing in return to the people of the USA.

He's a disaster.

If you look, that $5.89 is in Orlando. Other gas stations in Orlando are selling gas for $2 less.
The AVERAGE for the state is around $3.60

Hell, even in Hawaii, with the highest priced gasoline in the union, gas is only $4.20 a gallon.

The OP is a lie.
It's not Obama screwing people over, it's the private sector, the guys CONZ want to turn over your social security to.

Oil prices fell from $147 to $35 on the day Bush opened up the OCS for drilling.

the wall street journal disputes your claim that oil production in the gulf has actually decreased.
Drilling in Gulf of Mexico Rebounds After Spill - WSJ.com

there are currently 23 rigs in the gulf, the same number as 2 years ago.

Cuba is technically drilling in international waters, albeit close to Florida, but this is not technically illegal. and the Obama administration has not "partnered" with Cuba. Cuba is doing this on their own. What next, are you gonna say Mexico can drill in the gulf because thats American oil?

and the rest of your post, is just..... wow. very alumnium foil hat brigade. there is not debating someone like you, most of what you posts is untrue, but somehow you have convinced yourself that in fact it is true. no matter how much evidence is presented, you will refuse to accept it. wow.... such a sad life you live..

They let a key ethanol gas tax credit expire on that date. This cut the people using E85 & increased gas consumption in the USA. It also increased tax at the pump on every gallon of gas since every gallon has ethanol in it.

Prices aren't high for lack of supply; drilling offshore would do nothing to lower the price at the pump.

When Bush lifted the ban on offshore drilling why did the price of oil drop? Hell drilling had not even started yet and the price of oil drop with a stroke of the presidential pen.
 
Here's some more scary facts for you!

THINGS COST MORE THAN THEY USED TO!
Young people use CURSE words.

Over three times what it cost just three years ago.

That is insanity.

Yet DEMAND is flat.
Hmmm...couldn't be SPECULATORS, could it?

And WHICH party put forth in a piece of legislation that CUTS enforcement against oil and gasoline speculators by 30%? That's right...republiCONZ.

The most recent comprehensive spending bill produced by House Republicans would chop the CFTC's funding by $56.8 million -- almost a third of the agency's entire budget -- over the next seven months.

Funding at the SEC would be cut by $25 million over the same time period.
SEC and CFTC targets of Wall Street financial reform - Mar. 1, 2011


CONZ KNOW this of course. They just DON'T CARE that the American people get raped at the pump by sleazy commodities traders.

Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.), a senior House Energy and Commerce Committee member, recalled prior oil-speculation hearings and said “there was no question that that had some impact” on the 2008 uptick. “I think there is a combination of reasons for the recent spike,” he said in an interview yesterday.

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), chairman of the House Appropriations subpanel in charge of EPA and the Interior Department, said policies at the departments he oversees play a role in rising prices but agreed that speculation does as well. “Traders look out and see what’s about to potentially happen, so it has to do with speculation,” Simpson said in an interview. “That adds to the overall equation.”

Gee......how "odd"!!! :eusa_eh:

"Proposed oil drilling off Florida's western coast threatens this once protected area. In 2006, the western coast of Florida was protected by a bipartisan agreement that prohibited offshore oil and gas drilling until the year 2022."
