Obama Mocks Palin’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” Slogan…
Douche.
(The Hill) — President Obama took a dig at the “drill, baby, drill” slogan employed by Republicans and popularized by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during a speech Wednesday on energy.
The president made an offhand reference to the slogan as an example of the empty rhetoric politicians have used in the past when it comes to energy policy.
“But here’s the thing — we’ve been down this road before. Remember, it was just three years ago that gas prices topped $4 a gallon. Working folks haven’t forgotten that,” Obama said in a speech at Georgetown University, according to prepared remarks. “It hit a lot of people pretty hard. But it was also the height of political season, so you had a lot of slogans and gimmicks and outraged politicians waving three-point-plans for two-dollar gas — when none of it would really do anything to solve the problem.”
Then the president made a departure from his prepared remarks: “You remember, ‘drill baby drill.’”

how do you translate “drill baby drill” for the Brazilians?
WHAT A TWIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because he’s afraid of her!
but u give brazil 2 billlion of our nations money so they can drill….and sell it to us. we need to drill in usa too.
Yeah, we remember it, asshole.
And what did you do, you stupid MF? You REDUCED drilling, just to show what a tough guy you are.
And now, you have the temerity to continue to postulate that “drill baby drill” is a bad idea?
What a PhucWad.
This guy is trying to redirect all thoughts away from his blunders: Libya, Economy, Unemployment, Budget, Immigration, etc. hoping that by overload the public will be lulled into complacency and re-elect him in spite of everything as he refuses to get out of campaign mode.
Humpty Bama sat on a wall,
Humpty Bama gettin’ ready to fall.
All of the Media and all of the ink,
Can’t deal with the notion that he is a dink.
Douche bag.
Sarah is going to wipe the floor with him.
Yes, drilling for our own oil sure would not fix that problem. I am thinking a big wind generator in front of Obama’s pie hole. This blow hard could certainly power the WH for a day or two.

Now heres a subject obama knows a lot about. because it’s what he has done his whole life.. what’s the matter obama Hope and Change not working out so well for youfuckinglowlifescumbucketpiceofshitbabydiapereattingswindleingmarxistassfag.
“…it was just three years ago that gas prices topped $4 a gallon. Working folks haven’t forgotten that…,”

I guess he doesn’t get out much….
Its at $3.50 gallon in Northern NJ… some places in metro NY even higher
and yeah douchebag…I haven’t forgotten…because I am still experiencing it
Broca bebê Broca.
Its drill baby drill in Portugese
Of course, had we done so back then, at least some of that oil would be available today to mitigate prices now. But let’s not talk about that.
Instead let’s belittle the idea because drilling now won’t affect prices now. Since that will ALWAYS be true, we never drill, and we are always short; we are always paying foreigners instead, many of whom use those dollars against us; and prices continue to climb.
But that’s good; it makes “alternative” energy more “affordable”. And that’s the real end-game here anyway.

To be fair Gerorama we need one attached to the backside of the Wookie, I think we will get more wind power coming out of first fatass.. of course obama talks out of his ass so the smell is going to be about even between the two.
one to the backside..
Simple FACTS:
1 – The entire WORLD economy is OIL driven!
2 – Drilling produces oil
3 – We don’t drill we have to buy oil
SUCK on that Hussein…cause YOU SUCK!!
His (and the rest of the socialistic-leaning Loony Left’s) arrogant, malignant, terminal narcissism is not only trashing our country, but puting their political futures in more and more of a pickle.
Perhaps their own slogan will soon be:
Dill, baby, dill!!!
I fail to understand why this bastard has not been arrested, at least on suspicion of a laundry list of felonies.
@whthfk
Excellent point!
all this in-yer-face “civility” —
I am taking as “we have the next election in the bag, dont’ even bother coming up with a candidate”
THIS is what they’ve been so busy working on behind the scenes.
we are doomed.

Ok, I have to points to make:
1) He’s saying in this remark that if you have a shortage of a thing, acquiring more of that thing does not solve your problem. WTF?
2) His solution three years ago was to make sure your tires are inflated properly. And he’s digging at Palin’s “Drill, baby, drill” remark?
The Bamster
has the courage of a hamster.
His teleprompters blare with a tone of conviction,
But the guy behind them’s a work of fiction.
Punk this punk.
ok.lemme rephrase that. we’re not DOOmed. but things aren’t going to be all roses and glitter for a while.
It is past time for our military commanders to arrest this pile of shit! He and the crew need to be perp-walked before the American people and have open hearings about all the anti-American activities. They are destroying the USA before our very eyes and everyone (our elected officials) do nothing!
@Marmo:
1) That does appear to be what he is saying. He must think we are pretty dumb. Hopefully he will have a shortage of votes in 2012.
2) Well, did you inflate your tires?
If he were to just announce that we would be expanding our domestic drilling, it would trigger a decrease in the price of a barrel of crude. Decreasing our dependence on foreign oil will go along way to stopping doing deals with crazy Islamic nations.. Drilling here where it is socially and politically more stable than the Middle East, particularly when we have vast amounts of untapped reserves should stabilize the market.
We don’t need to import any oil whatsoever..
U.S. Has Earth’s Largest Energy Resources
‘In case anyone missed it, let me repeat something that is of a magnitude of 10 on the scale of news-quakes for Joe Public USA: America’s combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CSR), the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd), China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined – and that’s without including America’s shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.
The energy facts in the CRS report should be making front page news all over America. Mostly it isn’t. Given the devastating news from Japan and New Zealand, it may be right to postpone dancing in the streets. But something else is going on. Even though they are going to dominate global energy supply for decades to come the insidious war on vital fossil fuels continues apace.’

Drill, baby, drill.. screw the punk kid in the WH..
I’m sure trucking companies can use windmills as distribution channels.
I’m sure a hybrid cement truck is completely viable.
Americans deserve 7 dollar gas for putting this douche in office.
@Sickofislam: That isn’t how we do things in this here United States of America. We are NOT a banana republic. If you want Obama replaced, it is up to the CITIZENS to do so in a LAWFUL election. (Or the Congress to do so via impeachment in the House and trial in the Senate – figure the odds of THAT happening)
It is up to the CITIZENS not to elect someone like this in the first place. It is not the job of the military to clean up the civilians messes. You really don’t want to go down that path – it doesn’t usually end well and sets a dangerous precident.
$10 says Palin uses Drill, Baby, Drill in her inaugural address.
And then makes fun of his ears.
Such a petty little man. All to happy to kick him in the groin..if he has anything up there.
@S. Wolf: It also does not include (correct me if I am wrong) the enormous potential of geothermal power here in the US as well. (Yellowstone being one monster of a geothermal source).
He’s going to continue to mock her right up until she takes his job from him next year.
But…But… Odumbo wouldn’t be able to redistribute America’s wealth
///sarc///
@Random in Texas
indeed a well constructed geo thermal complex in Yellowstone would be a tremendous power boon..course “they” never invested into advanced Geo so they don’t push for it.
S. Wolf, I’m glad you linked that. I had that saved, too, but on another computer. Yes, this should be yelled from the rooftops by Republican presidential candidates.
RiT:
No, I haven’t checked my tires lately, so the price increases in gas lately are probably all my fault!
Thanks Obama I’d forgotten the rational simplicity of the great Drill Baby Drill slogan. Drill NOW Baby!
Hey Random in Texas—-
I know how it works and I know that the media, the executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch and DOJ are corrupt beyond belief!
WE ARE A BANNANA REPUBLIC! The masses are not getting the real (truth) information about what is going on. When a President meets with the media before a Presidential address to “feed” the story line and this is admitted we are corrupt beyond belief! Keep holding true to your belief that “elections” are the way to fix this mess. The elections are stacked with the dead, illegals, paid for votes etc. Shall I remind you about ACORN who is Obamas arm and were not prosecuted?! Shall I remind you about the blcak panthers who were not prosecuted?
When Sarah Palin said “drill baby drill”, she didn`t mean you drilling Larry Sinclair`s a$$ Mr Obama.
“Under my administration energy prices will necessarily skyrocket”.
-Obama in San Francisco 2008
The audio of this needs to be played in Palin’s first presidential campaign ad as gas inches to $5 a gallon.
Nov 3, 2008 … Obama Promises to Tax Coal Industry Into Bankruptcy..look it up!
Key secret Democratic strategery(!) for 2012:
Reduce the number of registered Democratic voters, dissuade vast numbers of Liberals/Democrats/Progressives to stay home and not to vote on election day and voila!!! That all equals a landslide of Democrat votes tallied up. Subtraction yields surplus, right? (Simple Lib Econ 101.)
Well, it will still likey yield increased numbers of votes in Chicago and large swaths of other Democrat-controlled voting districts (including cemetaries).
Still, it might be worth experimenting further — I humbly propose that 75% of all Democrat officials retire from office immediately and see how the voting majorities pan out in the respective legislative chambers, state and federal. Following the (il)logic of their fossil-fuel/energy policies, that would increase their voting majorities, wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it?
Sickofislam
My uncle, who is an engineer for the coal industry, actually voted for obama. He and his stay at home wife both ALWAYS vote democrat. That’s the kind of ignorance that has somehow taken over the American people.
People these days are completely clueless and the liberal corrupt media is 90% to blame.
America actually elected an anti-American, racist, socialist to the presidency- I still can’t accept that it actually happened.
Yeah, I remember drill baby drill. I also remember your sorry ass shutting down drilling so fuck you.
I’m with you Dave…It is like one of those sick nightmares that you can’t wake up from.
Random in Texas.. nope, doesn’t include geothermal, just fossil fuels.. coal, gas, oil.. but including geothermal the U.S. is 110% self sufficient in energy, if it weren’t for the anti-American Marxists masquerading as Democrats..
Marmo.. you’re welcome.
Sarah strikes back:
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/03/sarah-palin-rips-obama-for-his-unbelievable-rhetoric-on-energy-production/
excerpt:
“His war on domestic oil and gas exploration and production has caused us pain at the pump, endangered our already sluggish economic recovery, and threatened our national security.”
Thank you, Sarah.
I don’t how this country can survive this clown…can you image if this bastard is reelected..
@Sickofislam;
I hear what you are saying and I agree. However I will continue to stick to my no-doubt naive belief that we still can fix things at the ballot box. Because the alternatives are ghastly, and likely to result in another version of an America that I would not recognize, nor want my kids to live in.
I sense a “Boom, Taste my Nightstick” post coming from Palin.
“Drill baby drill” was actually written by Gingrich, so that’s two politicians who need to team up against him. Palin can again mention just how much we have and the Brazil payoff, Gingrich can hammer him on the injunctions and lack of permits. Or vice versa, as long as someone does it.
If we get some pussy Rino Republican presidential candidate that won’t nail Liar ODumbass to the wall on these issues, I swear I will devote all my spare time to encourage the TEA Party to overthrow the GOP. If we can’t beat this idiot we have as president in 2012, we are seriously in trouble as a country.
Okay, just read Palin’s facebook essay. Looks like she slapped him on both.
“Meanwhile, the vast undeveloped reserves that could help to keep prices at the pump affordable remain locked up because of President Obama’s deliberate unwillingness to drill here and drill now. We’re subsidizing offshore drilling in Brazil and purchasing energy from them, instead of drilling ourselves and keeping those dollars circulating in our own economy to generate jobs here.”
Couldn’t hurt for Gingrich to pile on, too. As well as everyone else.
He makes me sick. I would love to take a bat to that chin tilt he does.
As for his fugly beard, she can kiss my lily white azz
Fashion icon! What a frakkin joke. She dresses like a clown on crack.
Deny drilling permits, baby, deny those permits. ( unless of course they are for Brazil = Soros)
DAMN HIM, DAMN HIM. HE WILL BURN IN HELL….AS THE SAYING GOES……………..BURN BABY BURN?
““But here’s the thing — we’ve been down this road before.”
Yes, we have. We’ve been going down this road since 1973 and the first oil crisis and guess what? You dim light bulbs have been doing nothing about energy for 38 years. Just kicking the can down the road, like you’ve been doing the rising deficit.
But you’ve not been alone in this; you’ve had every wacko environmental group along with the EPA and the DOE as your partners to thank for this mess we are in. Through your actions; like denying oil drilling permits, denying the building of any new refineries, denying oil exploration, denying or downright obfuscating the building of clean coal and nuclear power plants and listening to a bunch of green nuts, we are now totally dependent on oil from the most unstable region of this planet for our energy. Thanks a lot shitheads.
Before jimmy carter and the department of energy $.35 per gal and most of it produced right here at home or in our own hemisphere. there NEVER was a shortage. And the wells are still there. Turn the taps back on. Drill here, build new refineries HERE right now screw the rest of the world we need to take care of our own. Helping the rest of the world hasn’t done us one bit of good. Look me and 1500 other Petro workers were laid off in one plant in Orange, Texas 2 days after the ’08 election.
I want to thank every one that voted dumbocrate.
Slow down Sentinel we’re not totally dependent on anybody, anywhere.
btw, I think they are shitheads too.
Here’s what I know: The Gulf of Mexico, all by itself, is down 90% from production levels just as ObowMao took office. That production in 2009 was less than a third, 1/3, of capacity.
NOW here’s the punchline: ***** Capacity (I didn’t say reserve, I’m talking straight daily crude production in BARRELS) just capacity of the Gulf of Mexico ( domestic leases only please) IS GREATER THAN ALL IMPORTS ADDED TOGETHER!!!!!
I repeat ‘We aren’t dependent on anybody, anywhere’. NOW what are you gonna do about it?
If we’re not dependent on anybody, then why is crude at $100+/barrel and our gas at $4/gal? Huh? The market price of a barrel is set by OPEC, of which we are not a member of. So if we are “not dependent” then why is all that US oil flowing into the pumps priced so high?
January 2011 domestic oil production in the US was 5.5M barrels per day; for the same period of time our oil consumption was 18.4M barrels per day. We are dependent on ME oil because of what I said above – PERIOD!
Yes, I know we have enough oil to burn the rest of the world, but it ain’t coming out of the ground, is it?
How about Lead Barry Lead? Can you do it? Still waiting.
I can easily see Obummer as a bully, no matter how much he says he’s against bullying.
It’s been said all over the web: Palin lives rent-free in Obummer’s head.
