Didn't Obama say he wanted to get America off foreign oil?
Then why did he just give Brazil $2 Billion to start drilling there? Why not use that money to drill off of our own shores and create more jobs in America, all the while making us less dependent on foreign oil altogether?

When he said he is going to create jobs, he never said where. Independent A:~)

What we've come to discover about 0bama is what he says and what he does are two entirely different things. I thought we gave our oil companies incentives to drill for oil, so why he is giving more government money to drill is beyond me.

We supposedly have more oil in Alaska than all of the middle east. Why not break those chains that bind us and drill? I'm sorry, but I just don't get how we can be giving another country 2 billion that we don't have (we're in debt, remember?) to drill off their shores when we won't drill off our own shores. How many US jobs could we create and how cheap would our oil be in comparison. I think we need to strive for all forms of energy in this country and work together for energy independence. Until we find a better way, we need oil and why not our own.

Yeah, but that was just a lie he told. Just like everything else that comes out of his mouth.
