In the Energy Debate between Palin and Obama
Obama Lost
Ben Voth @ American Thinker:
You know we cant just drill our way to lower gas prices. If were going to take control of our energy future, and can start avoiding these annual gas price spikes that happen every year when the economy starts getting better, world demand starts increasing, turmoil in the Middle East or some other parts of the world, if were going to stop being at the mercy of these world events, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-abovestrategy that develops every available source of American energy oil, gas, wind, solar, and nuclear, and biofuels, and more.
President Obama made these remarks in February of 2012 at the University of Miami. The President was criticizing the longstanding argument of political rival Sarah Palin, who urges the nation to drill, baby, drill.
Palin expounded on these sentiments in 2010:
Although the Left chooses to mock the mantra of drill, baby, drill, and they ignorantly argue against the facts pertaining to the need for America to responsibly develop her domestic supply of natural resources, surely they cant argue the national security implications of relying on foreign countries to extract supplies that America desperately needs for industry, jobs, and security. Some of the countries were now reliant upon and will soon be beholden to can easily use energy and mineral supplies as a weapon against us.
Were talking to oil producers around the world and letting them know its in their interest to make sure that high oil prices dont end up hurting the world economy.
