I Just Don't Get It

Remember the good old days in the 70s when the Arabs held us hostage for oil and we had gas rationing? At least we knew who the enemy was then.  Now the the enemy who is holding us hostage is our own president. Jack Kelly writes: "We can't drill our way to lower gas prices, Mr. Obama said. The Institute for Energy Research says there are 1.4 trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the United States and offshore, 'enough to last at least 200 years.' But most are on public lands. Government policy keeps them locked up. 'The administration has done everything but support drilling,' said retired Shell oil company executive John Hofmeister. 'We are on the verge of slipping into an energy abyss.'" Maybe right before the election, Obama can add free gas cards to all the other entitlement programs he so encourages.
