Never mind that:
- his admin, and the EPA in particular, was hostile to the energy industry, limiting drilling on federal lands, an offshore drilling moratorium, rejection of keystone pipeline and long delays in approving permits
- he famously lectured us that 'you can't drill your way to lower prices', which has been proven spectacularly wrong
- Oil/gas output from federal lands dropped during his tenure, while output from private lands skyrocketed
- the gains in the US are almost exclusively due to private company advances in fracking and horizontal drilling
But a few weeks ago, Barry dropped this nugget:
“You wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president,” he said to applause. “That whole — suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people.”
That was me!
Our nation thanks you.
