Obama the Brilliant


I am just trying to get my arms around Obama's plan to lower gas prices. Let's see if I've got this straight:

Step #1 - Limit domestic oil production via Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium.

Step #2 - Severely limit oil drilling on federal lands.

Step #3 – Kill the Keystone XL pipeline.

Step #4 - Increase the average time it takes for a drilling permit to be approved to 91 days.

Step #5 - Decrease the approval rate of drilling permits by 50%. Under Bush the approval rate was 73%. Under Obama, it's 23%.

Step #6 - Steal from Social Security and give wage earners $40 dollar per paycheck to pay for higher gas prices.

Step #7 – Smile and wait for adulation.
