Another BIG lie to add to all the others that Obama feeds to the liberal media, the robot reporters, and journalists, who have lost all integrity and spew it as fact.
Time they grew a backbone!
President Obama's Oil Production Lie

And boy do the obots suck it all up!
With gas prices soaring on his watch, President Obama is eager to deflect attention from his record of blocking American energy production that would help address the pain at the pump and create jobs. As part of this strategy, the president is trying to take credit for an increase in domestic oil production – a claim he repeated this afternoon in Florida. It’s a nice talking point, but a highly misleading one.
Here are the facts: it is the significant increase in energy production on state and private lands – where Washington has limited control – that is largely responsible for the recent boost in oil production. According to a new non-partisan analysis of government data, oil production on private and state lands jumped by 14 percent during the last fiscal year. Production on federal lands, meanwhile, dropped by 11 percent. This trend is almost certain to continue given that the Obama Administration’s draft five-year drilling plan prohibits offshore drilling in new areas, and only allows lease sales to occur in areas that are already open.
As for any recent increases in oil production on federal lands, they can largely be attributed to the policies of previous administrations. The Natural Resources Committee has more on this and the president’s other dubious energy claims.
Often quick to assign blame, the White House is stingy about sharing credit. Take the president’s new budget, in which more than half of the proposed savings comes from the Budget Control Act and spending cuts the president opposed for months. In both cases, the administration is trying to take credit when it shouldn’t, distract from the size and scope of the problem at hand, and give itself a pass on coming up with much-needed solutions.
“Rising gas prices drain economic confidence fast,” The Washington Post notes, “as most Americans feel pinched as soon as they fill up their next tank.” Americans deserve the truth about our energy challenges, and solutions that square with reality. That’s why Republicans unveiled the American Energy Initiative last year, and passed several bills to expand domestic energy production as part of the Plan for America’s Job Creators.

now libby your belief of a balanced budget seeing no one is trying to balance the budget stop with your hate and follow the facts.
as for the election we know that romney is just like obama so no need to vote for him. ron paul wants to destroy america with his isolationist policies so no need to vote for him. then santorum thinks ending gay marrirage and abortions will help america. so when we take those three out we only have newt and the tea libs will not vote for anyone that has a hiostory of workign for america not against it. the only chance we have to help america now is to make sure true republicans are elected to the senate and the house to work for america.

Here's the link for our domestic production

You will find on this last link that our domestic production is still below the 1999 and before numbers.
Problem is that like all things, the cost of Finished product is controlled by the cost of Raw materials. In the case of Petrolium prodicts that is Crude Oil, and its price is controlled by Global Speculators, and OPEC. both of whic are not friends of the USA.
Only by increaiing the availability of Domestic Raw material, (Cude Oil), can we take away the leverage the speculators and OPEC have over our country.
I asked you to Quote what you think was nonense. I was trying to argue with your message.
However, all you did again was spew more accusations. You don't have any argument.
“Domestic oil production may be at an all-time high nationwide, but the increase is primarily occurring on state and private lands rather than on federal land and waters, where production appears to have dropped significantly in 2011, according to the most recent government data.
Production of natural gas on public lands and waters in fiscal 2011 dropped 11 percent from the previous year, according to Interior Department data. Oil production dipped nearly 14 percent.
The reduction in oil production was most significant in the Gulf of Mexico, where it declined nearly 17 percent to 514 million barrels from 618 million barrels in 2010.”

You didn't make an argument. You simply repeated your accusation; "As I've said before, the president is not responsible for gas prices."
Notice how I made an argument with facts. Facts never support party line crap. That is why Liberals can only spew accusations.

From my reference; "The reduction in oil production was most significant in the Gulf of Mexico, where it declined nearly 17 percent to 514 million barrels from 618 million barrels in 2010.”
Therefore, 104 million barrels less in the Gulf of Mexico were produced in 2011 then in 2010 for a 17 percent decline.
Try to produce some recent facts.
Oil production on private land increased dramatically because of fracking. Therefore, oil production increased in spite of Obama.
The big increase was in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota. Of course tree huggers don't like fracking either.
Oil production dropped 14 percent on public land in 2011. What did that have to do with oil drilling in the Gulf? It had entirely to do with Obama dragging his feet.
GM has stopped production of Obama's dream car, the Chevy Volt because nobody is buying the junk. The battery cost $10,000 dollars which would buy 2500 gallons of gasoline. At 25 miles per gallon you could drive 62,500 miles.
You can easily buy cars in the Volts class that get 40 MPG that would go 100,000 miles just on the cost of the volts battery. What a piece of junk.
How many Mass transit system aren't government subsidized because they can't make a profit?
