Drilling for oil? Obama or McCain?

I was all for McCain when he was saying that we needed to drill. Now I hear Obama saying that oil companies already have millions of acres in which they are not drilling....what's the oil's company's and republican's answer to this accusation? Is it that the lands that they have already been given don't have oil? What's the next point in this argument?





Drilling for oil? Obama or McCain?
All this talk of drilling or not drilling is a bunch of meaningless hype.





Ask yourself a simple question: Who will operate the drills?





The oil companies? Wrong. Why would oil companies, who are making record profits, want to increase supply and subsequently devalue their product on the market?





We could tell oil companies they can drill in every square inch of US territory, but they won't. It would be bad for their business. The oil companies are the ones holding prices where they are, not politicians.Drilling for oil? Obama or McCain?
My bet is either Obama is lying or distorting facts/statistics to suit his ';argument';. His entire campaign so far has consisted of making baseless accusations towards his opponents and crying discrimination and foul play anytime his ';arguments'; are refuted. If he is saying that the oil companies already have millions of acres I would respond simply with prove it. Where are these acres of property? Do they even provide access to any oil? An oil company with access to property and not drilling for available oil on that property simply does not make sense and sounds more likely to be an empty accusation to confuse the voters and draw attention away from the real issues.
The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner on this one.


They receive some big bucks from the environmentalists, and a lot of Democrats are up for re election this year.


Drilling is the answer, and as far as all those acres, they have been checked out, not much in those areas, Obama says release the strategic reserves?, The military has to have that to defend this nation.


DRILL NOW!
It doesn't matter what either says. Drilling won't reduce the cost of American gas because America does not own the oil; the oil companies do and it will be sold on the open market to the highest bidder.





Venezuela can sell its gas in Venezuela at 12 cents a gallon because Venezuela's oil is nationalized. The people of Venazuela own it.
Who said oil is the base of your economy?, my merchandise is the base of your economy...
