68 million acres isn’t going untouched- An Obama lie

politifact.com

In the debate over how much new oil drilling to allow, Sen. Barack Obama has made a simple but potent-sounding argument against moving too fast. Before opening up new areas to drilling, Obama says, the oil companies should be required to drill the acreage they already have.

But Obama’s statement, coming from House Democrats, suggests that ‘non-producing’ acreage where drilling is permitted is land that oil companies are ignoring. That is simply not true. Years of exploration and federal permitting must be completed before leased land yields oil or gas. As a result, we find Obama’s claim to be False.

Let the lies from the Democratic Party and Barack Obama begin. And of course the mainstream media will not report it. Spread the word about what an empty suit Obama is and anyone who supports and endorses him. I do believe that Dan Blue has publically endorsed Obama.
