How Obama's Policies Hurt Indiana

[Publius1787]

The republicans can't stop him
the industry can't stop him

he is reducing our emissions!!! Good for him. You won't ever stop him as you simply don't control the part of government that gets things done!

What are you making here... $1.00 per post? Fifty cents? You've gone off the deep end.

**** you.

I am just telling it like it is...Our emissions are going down under Obama faster then even the EU. There's not a goddamn thing you can do about it.

Define "competitive disadvantage."

Emissions are going down under private enterprise, under the sweat of brow of the men and women of America's crude oil and natural gas industries... not your pathetic semi-negro President. Don't you dare denigrate the efforts and ingenuity of my industry... the industry to which I've dedicated 36 years of my life.

You pathetic piece of shit.

Matthew... whoring for Obama since 2008.

 

[Mr. H.]

Matthew, your acrid **** precedes you.

Dude, assuming climate change is predominantly man-made and leading to threatening warming, it still is a bad idea to do what the EPA's doing. China/India are the world's top polluters and they aren't going to cut their emissions anytime soon. We're putting ourselves at a competitive disadvantage(as Publius noted) with no real tangible benefit for the world climate. Besides, the global warming pause is putting serious, serious doubts on the severity of "climate change".

Is this OP serious?

Obama has a war on RVs?

Obama has a war on RVs?

Opposing gas tax relief, raising electricity rates through cap-and-trade(unilateral EPA action), and stopping more drilling for American energy all hurts the RV industry.

The US is on the verge of becoming the largest oil producer in the world

That's because of drilling on private lands. Drilling on federal lands is down under Obama, and much of that oil is less expensive and easier to extract. Also, Obama strongly opposes gas tax relief to help people with high gas prices. When Obama entered, gas was $1.78 a gallon. Now it's almost double that.

That $1.78 a gallon was a momentary drop from a $4.00 a gallon high

We were in an economic collapse at the time and gas prices plummeted as a result. Not something to brag about

I agree that part of the 2008 drop was due to the economy, but it's important to note that there was a very significant price drop after Bush lifted the ban on offshore drilling(which Obama re-instated).

In July 2008, gas prices were at their peak. In July 16, 2008, Bush lifts the moratorium on drilling and prices plummet. July 16, 2008 is at just about the vertex of gas prices on the graph. And this was before the Bear Sterns collapse. Yes, it went down a lot after that, but there was absolutely a role played by lifting the ban.
Then, in February 2009, the Obama administration delays these new changes and makes drilling much, much harder, especially after the BP Oil Spill (of course, the people in Louisiana, most affected by the spill, strongly support offshore drilling to help their economy, but Obama says no).

Lifting a ban on offshore drilling will not show up at the pumps for ten years

Even if that were true, we should still pass more drilling.....remember, in 1995, Clinton vetoed ANWR drilling for the reason you mentioned. If he didn't veto ANWR drilling, we'd be getting oil from there now.

However, gas prices are affected by speculation. If the US sends the message that we're serious about more drilling, gas prices will go down.
