Gas @ $5.00 a Gallon

Where is the Outrage?

I took a bit of a break for the Holidays and couldn't help noticing that at the Ski Resort community that we traveled to ... Gas spiked during the Holidays to $3.19 a gallon for regular.

Wait a Minute!

Let's go back in history four years during the Bush Administration ... when the media posted daily news flashes that the price of regular gas was $3.00 a gallon. Everyone was ouraged. They blamed Bush and his buddies in the Oil business and/or insinuated that the President had a special relationship with the Saudis. Well all of that turned out to be hog-wash. But did they retract the story or correct their error? Nope!

Candidate Hillary Clinton, then Senator Barrack Obama and a host of Democrats warned us if we didn't vote for them that the bad, bad Republicans would continue to raise the price of oil. A vote for the Democrats would solve everything. They must think we are all morons. Democrats or any other American citizen has virtually no control over what the Oil Cartel in the Mideast will do ... including setting the price of crude. But the blind voted for a candidate that promised better times ... Ha!

Fast forward a few years ... The Energy Policy of the current administration has led to the cost of oil to sky-rocket again. As gasoline at the pumps passed the $3.00 mark this month ... have you hear anything about that from the media? Have the press asked the President or the Department of Energy about why their failed energy strategy (or lack there of) has led to the spike in oil prices? Nope!

So Why Not?

I have a theory.
The media doesn't want to connect the dots.
Obama Administration's Energy Policy = Higher Oil Prices

So what can we do?

We can utilize US resources (millions of gallon of natural gas and oil) to lower our foreign dependency on oil. We import 20 million barrels of oil a day. Experts have advised for decades that simply reducing the imports by 50% - producing 10 million barrels here in the US instead of importing crude, would help to reduce the demand and effectively lower the price ... worldwide.

If it is that simple ...Why don't we start it today?

Because the current Administration and their energy/policy advisors haven't listened to real oil experts.
They think they know better.
And the media will never tell you the truth.

Write your Congressman and Senator
Tell them to open the wells and start drilling ... tomorrow!
If we don't ... the price of gas at the pump will be $5.00 a gallon by the end of 2012.
