Thank you for confirming that democrats are completely and utterly clueless. Of course, that's probably not what you intended to do. However, like an animal whose leg is caught in a trap, you are thrashing around looking for a solution to the mess you're in.
To what am I referring? Your recent statement that the United States should "force" Saudi Arabia to pump one million more barrels of oil per day.
Apparently, and I mean no disrespect, you are not aware of the fact that Saudi Arabia is a sovereign nation. It is not one of the 57 states that Barack Obama has been to, nor is is a wholly-owned subsidiary of an American oil company.
It's not like we have any leverage. Because of policies put in place by your party, strictly adhered to for decades, we cannot say to Saudi Arabia, "We don't need your oil anymore. We have our own." So, how do we force Saudi Arabia to do what we want. By the way, isn't that kind of arrogant? You know, telling another country what it "has" to do with its own product? But, I digress.
How do we force Saudi Arabia to do what we want? Do we go to war? Is that what you're advocating? United Nations sanctions, perhaps? "Yes, Mr. Secretary General, we want sanctions against Saudi Arabia because it's not doing what we want". Is that your plan? If so, you have gone from arrogant to adolescent in the blink of an eye.
And, speaking of a million barrels a day. Are you aware that that is the exact amount that we could now be realizing from ANWR if your party would have allowed us to drill there? According to you, one million more barrels a day would drop the price per barrel by more than $25 dollars, which would, in turn, lower the price of gasoline between 13 and 17 percent.
Just think, if you and your party had had the wisdom and foresight to allow us to harvest our own resources, we would be better off economically. You and your cohorts would not be tap dancing all over DC trying to blame the current situation on those evil oil company execs.
Just think, you have actually admitted that you are to blame for the current situation. Hallelujah! The truth at last!
