Obama shelves Ws offshore drilling plan.

:pop:

[soonerboomer93]

my wallet just cried out in pain

:mad:

[SicEmBaylor]

This is a terrible idea, but it was an empty gesture on Bush's part since nothing was going to happen without Congressional approval which wasn't going to happen.

We should be drilling everywhere...everywhere. I'd tear up Yosemite if necessary.

[85Sooner]

What did we expect? He's a socialist liberal. Wonder how he likes the taste of Pelosi and reids *&^%s

Just because you live in that godless wasteland called Waco doesn't mean you've gotta go around tearing down all the beautiful nature that the rest of the US has.

Good for Obama. That drilling program was moronic.

[Oldnslo]

Isn't Yosemite supposed to be one huge volcano? Okay. No drilling on the volcano. That's right up there with "no running with scissors".

[yermom]

shouldn't the low oil prices be pushing the oil companies into R&D in other alternatives?

seems we are getting some more time to develop other energy sources before we absolutely have to

[LosAngelesSooner]

Yosemite is just one of the most naturally beautiful places on the face of the planet. That's all.

It's posts like these that make me almost certain you're a troll.

That would require God to hit them in the face with a "logic" hammer.

it's like the 70's never happened

[IBleedCrimson]

nope. he is dead serious...

[Jerk]

Well, I guess this means less tax revenue to the Federal Government from the oil companies, thus less money for the welfare state. Oh, my bad, I forget that we will just print whatever money we need.

[85Sooner]

They need to construct a fence along the entire eastern boarder of California and make sure that everyone who is there stays there. Let em go bankrupt and then can figure out how to pay their bills. Some people might learn some common sense.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Does that mean you guys can't come here, too?

If so, I'm ALL FOR IT.

[Harry Beanbag]

I just bought a semi-auto pistol yesterday. Apparently, it's illegal in California.

[swardboy]

So far I am very pleased with the new administration.

They're off to a running start for losing the 2012 election......

[GrapevineSooner]

That would require God to hit them in the face with a "logic" hammer.

How do we know they're not doing that, anyway?

[OklahomaTuba]

Awesome!! Yet another wise and intelligent decision by The One.

Who would want to willingly go to California?

Yep. California = Fail.

The inmates are running the asylum.

Palm trees are over-rated. Hickory smokes meats much better.

I think it's pretty sick that any of you would want to watch Tuba have a stroke.

Good for Obama. That drilling program was moronic.

Do you know what directional drilling is and how it works?

I have no problem with protecting parks, however directional drilling done properly can protect them. It's already in use, or has been used near certain sanctuaries. The Audubon Society actually earns royalties (an undlisclosed amount last I checked) off the Rainey Reserve.

[soonerboomer93]

no, it doesn't. When oil remains low, American Consumers don't care about alternative energy because well, gas is a ready available commodity and it's generally cheaper then the initial investment into other energy sources.

It's also not as cost effective for them to look into alternative energy so the lower their budget. I have tried to explain a multitude of times that the best thing for alternative energy is high oil and gas prices.

The reason to open up those area's, or atleast some of them, is to increase domestic production and lower consumption/dependance on foreign oil. Quite frankly, the US has little hope of not being largely dependant on foreign oil since we consume so much of it and will continue to do so until forced to change. The only thing that will force this change is a hit to the pocket book.

[Condescending Sooner]

I'm sure Johnny Mack, Yermom, and LAS , will not say one F'in word when gas goes back over $4 a gallon.

I will sign that contract.

This, I agree with. The overwhelming majority of the general public are sheep. I'm willing to bet that many people that were thinking of buying an economical car back in the summer are kicking the tires of Tahoes, Sequoyas, Suburbans etc... as I type.

[JohnnyMack]

Hi Ron!

*waves*

[yermom]

I'm sure Johnny Mack, Yermom, and LAS , will not say one F'in word when gas goes back over $4 a gallon.

i don't follow.

a word about what? how oil companies record record profits when oil prices are high and seem to pretend it will always be that way only to whine when they drop?

i don't drive an SUV 20 miles to work, so gas prices don't hit me all that hard, personally. i still think they are kinda high, just not compared to what we were paying in the last year

i'm not saying that it would happen, more like that it wouldn't, but should

if gas stays cheap for a while they will probably cut R&D and Joe Six Pack will buy a new truck and no one will care about electric cars anymore

[OklahomaTuba]

Nope. I ride a bicycle.

We know.

Dammit.

Excellent.

Now, if you will excuse me, I gots some strokin to do.

Oops. Did I type that?

How dare you guys pick on someone who was clearly born with disadvantages.

PrObama will save us all.

[LosAngelesSooner]

I just bought a semi-auto pistol yesterday. Apparently, it's illegal in California.Really? I bought a new Glock 23 about a month ago. It's legal.

What kind of gun were you trying to buy, a machine-pistol?


Who would want to willingly go to California?*sigh*
Oh, Ridiculously-Stupid-Statement...THERE you are! How I missed you so!!!!

[soonerhubs]

LAS can I still come visit? :D I love California.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Visit? Yes.

Move here? No.

;)

It's just a Springfield Armory XD-9. Maybe it has something to do with the high capacity magazines, but there is a sticker on the case that says NOT LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA.

[KABOOKIE]

I call BS. You can buy anything from hand grenades to bazookas in California.

That's kind of what I was thinking. No sixteen round clips but hand grenades are okay. :confused:

[sooner KB]

What kind of a dent would this offshore drilling have on the global oil market? Maybe a gallon of gas would cost a few cents cheaper?

[soonerboomer93]

it's not about the dent on the global market, it's about slowing down how much money we spend on oil produced by countries

[yermom]

Do you know what directional drilling is and how it works?

I have no problem with protecting parks, however directional drilling done properly can protect them. It's already in use, or has been used near certain sanctuaries. The Audubon Society actually earns royalties (an undlisclosed amount last I checked) off the Rainey Reserve.

i have a straw...

[LosAngelesSooner]

Ah. Yeah. That's all about magazine capacity (which is one of the dumber laws we have out here in Cali). They restricted the mag cap on my Glock, as well.

If I can't get him in the first eleven shots, I don't DESERVE to live.

[yermom]

is 11 really that much different than 18?

i don't quite follow the reasoning for that law

i guess you are lucky it's not 1 or something

[OklahomaTuba]

What kind of a dent would this offshore drilling have on the global oil market? Maybe a gallon of gas would cost a few cents cheaper?
Will make a huge price difference once demand comes back, and its only a matter of time before it will.

We don't have enough supply, period.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Ole Barry Oblahma will single-handedly drive the country into a deep recession from his spending plan, because the banks will use it for bonuses and the dems will pay off the illegals, oops soon to be legals and buy off the latino and ACORN vote, will make the new deal look like a tax cut and cause energy prices to spike upward in the U.S. like we have never seen...

I said before he was a socialist, he is showing his true colors. Welcome to the new Amerika Komrad...

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Really? I bought a new Glock 23 about a month ago. It's legal.

Probably has a magazine that has too many rounds per CA law. Something like allowing only 5 or 7 rounds per mag (maybe the 11 you mentioned)... Like any outlaw would subscribe to that law...:rolleyes:

[Animal Mother]

Logic doesn't fly with many on this board so stop it. Paranoia and knee-jerk reactions, yes. Logic. Not so much.

My problem is a bad attitude coupled with an authority problem. I think I'm an authority on EVERYTHING!

2ND No exploding head. No not that kind.

Maybe you need some of Glen Beck's duct tape to wrap you're head up to keep it from exploding...

Nah, I say leave it off and see what happens.
