Obama Opens 2012 Re-Election Campaign In Flip Flops

I guess the Jesus Slippers have been worn out in the first two years of campaigning for 2012.

Obama Shifts to Speed Oil and Gas Drilling in U.S.

Of course, this, as his other "rational" realizations, is probably only window dressing. He has a history of saying one thing, but doing the opposite and of parsing words in the best definition of a Clintonian definition of is.

The US Has Only 2% Of The World's Oil Lie

I read this on Pundit & Pundette and it speaks for itself.

"We can't escape the fact that we control only 2% of the world's oil." This is a common refrain among anti-drilling Democrats and environmentalists, and it's repeated enough that many people accept it as true. In reality, it's 100% false. The number comes from a highly conservative estimate from the Energy Information Administration totaling America's proven reserves where we are already drilling. It does not include the 10 billion barrels available in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It does not include most of the 86 billion barrels available offshore in the Outer Continental Shelf, most of which President Obama has placed under an executive drilling ban. And it does not include the 800 billion barrels of oil we have locked in shale in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Those shale resources alone are actually three times larger than the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia, so the claim that the U.S. only has 2% of the world's oil is clearly false.
