Former President Clinton: “Drilling delays are ridiculous”

Even President Clinton who has always stuck me as someone who puts reality ahead of ideology can’t figure out why the Obama administration keeps delaying the issuance of drilling permits and the never-ending appeals to halt drilling and exploration. Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s big oil’s fault! That guy (Obama) is an unbelievable assclown.

Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that delays in offshore oil and gas drilling permits are “ridiculous” at a time when the economy is still rebuilding, according to attendees at the IHS CERAWeek conference.

Clinton spoke on a panel with former President George W. Bush that was closed to the media. Video of their moderated talk with IHS CERA Chairman Daniel Yergin was also prohibited.

But according to multiple people in the room, Clinton, surprisingly, agreed with Bush on many oil and gas issues, including criticism of delays in permitting offshore since last year’s Gulf of Mexico spill.

“Bush said all the things you’d expect him to say” on oil and gas issues, said Jim Noe, senior vice president at Hercules Offshore and executive director of the pro-drilling Shallow Water Energy Security Coalition. But Clinton added, “You’d be surprised to know that I agree with all that,” according to Noe and others in the room.

Clinton said there are “ridiculous delays in permitting when our economy doesn’t need it,” according to Noe and others.

“That was the most surprising thing they said,” Noe said.

The two former presidents both generally agreed on the need to get offshore drilling workers back on the job.

Clinton and Bush also agreed on the need for more domestic shale gas production, with Clinton noting that it has been done safely for years in his home state of Arkansas. Read More

The very same things that I’ve been advocating. The very same. Even on nuclear energy, President Clinton says, “proceed (with caution’). It seems like everybody except the Obama progressive ideologues get it. So, are any of you “Hopey Changey” folks thinking that maybe your boy is a wee bit too much the ideologue and a wee too little the realist? He’s a bad president that needs to go. Get over it, swallow your pride, and do what’s right for the country in 2012. Vote for the other guy.

UNBELIEVABLE GALL: Obama blames oil companies for not drilling

Just like I started the last post. You can’t make this stuff up. Once again Obama is blaming others for his policy failures. Does this guy have gall, or what? Obama is the one that shut down drilling, Obama is the one that is defying a court order to issue drilling permits, yet the asshole blames the oil companies. Unbelievable. Anyone who believes a word of what this guy says needs his or her head examined. You always have to fact check him because he rarely tells the truth. Me personally, I don’t believe one word that comes out of his pie hole. I check everything and usually find he’s lying, spinning, blaming or excuse-making. He never tells it straight. And here he goes again, blaming oil companies for his decisions. Don’t believe me? Well then click here, dumbass.

“I told you so.” With Obama’s blaming, it contradicts everything he and his kind falsely believe about big oil being “greedy” and “driven only by profit,” otherwise they would be drilling and exploiting this energy crisis we are in.

There is more we can do, however. For example, right now, the (oil) industry holds leases on tens of millions of acres — both offshore and on land — where they aren’t producing a thing. So I’ve directed the Interior Department to determine just how many of these leases are going undeveloped and report back to me within two weeks so that we can encourage companies to develop the leases they hold and produce American energy. People deserve to know that the energy they depend on is being developed in a timely manner.

Unbelievable gall. Completely unbelievable. He has to be mentally sick, normal people just don’t think and act like this guy.

In other words, Obama is arguing that the oil companies themselves may be to blame for the fact that there isn’t more drilling. For some reason they’re ignoring making a profit. It’s a bizarro-world inversion of the usual complaint against oil companies — that they are reckless and all-too eager to despoil pristine lands in search of black gold.

Nevertheless, it is a familiar talking point that Democrats have been throwing out there for years now.  The Interior report Obama mentioned will probably come in the coming weeks or months and “prove” this point. Obama clearly hopes it will take the pressure off of his administration for high gas prices and throw it on the oil companies.

Lies and deception is what this presidency is all about, and that’s how it will be defined in history long after we are gone. The worst president ever, bar none.
