On March 7, 2012, Obama declared: “We've got 2 percent of the world oil reserves;
we use 20 percent. What that means is, as much as we're doing to increase oil production, we're not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices.”
Obama Misleads on Oil Reserves, Networks Defend Him, Fail to Fact Check | NewsBusters.org
FACTS: LET's hold him to his EXACT words!!! 2% of world oil reserves!
HE didn't say "proven" did he? And there is a VERY VERY HUGE distinction here!
If HE HAD SAID "PROVEN" he would be 100% correct!
BUT when he says "not be able to drill"??? HE IS A LIAR!!!!
FACTS: USA uses 6.87 billion barrels a year!
Source:World Crude Oil Consumption by Year (Thousand Barrels per Day)
FACT: 4.7 TRILLION BARRELS in USA that Obama could open up!
100 feet or less of Gulf 2.8 billion barrels
