Oil drilling in the Gulf

President Obama continues to prevent drilling on federally owned land while saying that oil production is up in the US. That increase is in privately owned land but Obama doesn't mention that. He is also preventing much needed drilling in the Gulf of Mexico using environmental concerns as his excuse. Let me ask Mr. Obama a question. Cuba has signed agreements with China and other countries to allow these countries to drill in the Gulf. Should we allow these countries to take the oil from our shores while prohibiting US companies from doing so? .....and who, Mr. President, will clean up our shores if the Chinese have a mishap like we had last year? I haven't heard anyone, not even on Fox News, screaming about this potential disaster.
Let's get real. What's Obama's REAL reason for not let the US increase oil production? Why has he repeatedly turned down the Keystone pipeline? There are hundreds of pipelines already in operation in the US, none of which have ever caused a major incident. There are obviously other motives for this tyrant President's war on energy production.
