However, the most fascinating part I saw was where statistics were cited which states that in the past two years, America's reliance on imported oil has been been around 66% of the country's needs. Now, with all of the drilling going on in North Dakota, in addition to other leases that the Obama administration has approved in other states, the amount of U.S. reliance on foreign oil has dramatically dropped to less than 50%.
So here's what The Gadfly is getting at. How does that FACT comport with the conservatives wild claims that Obama is stifling U.S. domestic oil production? Who has been president of this country these past couple of years and which administration signed off on having those oil fields being developed? Care to take a guess?
Frankly The Gadfly is not thrilled that the fossil fuel industry is continuing it's destructive environmental activities, but it is what it is for now. But I will say this unambiguously - the next time The Gadfly sees that lipstick dipshit Sarah Palin on television criticizing Obama for not drilling enough for more domestic oil with her juvenile chant of "drill baby drill," I'm going to force myself to vomit all over my tv screen just so I can view chunks of my hurl sliding down her stupid fucking, makeup caked face.
