POTUS's gas rationale based on half truths and contempt

  How stupid do these people think we are? Drilling ISN"T the answer? But ALGAE is??
  There's no short term silver bullet to lower gas prices through drilling but there is through ALGAE?
  A certain politician has a 3 step plan for reelection and solving the high energy prices.
  Here it is:
1) use his bully pulpit to divide the country and sneer at his opponents
2) use his bully pulpit to divide the country and sneer at his opponents
3) use his bully pulpit to divide the country and sneer at his opponents.
  Incredibly, his party is calling for opening the oil reserves. Aren't they called reserves for a reason?
  This from the man who flies his $180,000 an hour jet around the country on a whim and a fundraiser.

  Howdy Doody claims that oil industry profits are at their highest ever. Here's the truth from Director Blue about why:
Take a guess who the leftists and their idiot cousins in media will blame for skyrocketing gas prices: (a) "speculators", (b) "greedy oil companies", (c) "the rich", or (d) Bush. Not President Obama. Not his EPA. Not his Department of Interior. Not the brutal amount of taxes on each gallon of gas (about a dollar a gallon in total taxes versus two cents a gallon in profit for the "greedy oil companies").
  POTUS can claim that he's forced regulations to improve mileage per gallon by such and such a year; just because that passed the toady EPA doesn't mean the technology is there to make it possible.
  The truth is a legitimate alternative to oil won't need government subsidies. 
  There's an excellent article over at The Americano debunking the half truths Obama espouses on a regular basis. Here's a sample:
Half-truth #2: Increasing oil production takes too long and would not impact the market for at least a decade.
This has been the mantra of the anti-drilling crowd for years, and the longer politicians listen to the message, the longer the nation’s oil resources will remain undeveloped. If access to areas that are currently off limits is increased, it will take time to explore and extract that oil. But that does not change the fact that the nation needs it today and also in the future. Furthermore, some of this oil can reach the market in much less than a decade if the permitting process is streamlined and the Keystone XL pipeline—which could bring up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada to the Gulf Coast refineries—is built.
