Comments on: Obama, McCain: Tortoise, hare http://www.wordyard.com/2008/10/08/obama-mccain-tortoise-hare/ Technology, politics, culture Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:43:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jason.herod http://www.wordyard.com/2008/10/08/obama-mccain-tortoise-hare/comment-page-1/#comment-4675 jason.herod Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:37:00 +0000 http://www.wordyard.com/?p=1609#comment-4675 I'd like to talk about "drill baby drill", a slogan of the McCain Campaign. I work for the power industry and have recently helped to expand the Meeker Substation in northwestern Colorado to provide power to electric heaters so that oil companies there can remove the oil from the shale with new technology. Oil Shale Exploration Corp. said they are already producing 4,000 barrels a day from the experimental plots lease to them by the government. And with the current price of oil this is most certainly... worth the effort. It is reported that there is more oil in the Colorado-Utah-Wyoming area alone, then all of Saudi-Arabia. So that 3% tid bit from Obama at the debate was absolute malarkey. There is also oil off the coast of Virginia, off the coast of Florida, in Alaska, and an estimated 10.3 billion barrels of oil off the coast of California, which is hurting badly for revenue at the moment. So what is "drill baby drill" going to do for the American people? *REMOVE US FROM OUR DEPENDANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST* Is there a better benefit then this? *CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS* literally... millions. We will need people to provide power to the rigs, drill,transport the oil and people to refine the oil; literally millions of jobs. *CREATE THOUSANDS OF NEW TAX PAYERS WHO ARE AT THE MOMENT DRAWING UNEMPLOYMENT* *PAY OFF MILLIONS OF HOME LOANS* this is soooo important, I'm going to say it one more time. *PAY OFF MILLIONS OF HOME LOANS* and *LOWER THE PRICE OF FUEL* If you think this is a bad idea then vote for Obama, he has repeatedly voted against off shore drilling. People… please… adjusting taxes will not fix our economy, but instead, raising taxes on those that provide jobs is only going to make matters worse for us. We need jobs right now. We need John McCain. I’d like to talk about “drill baby drill”, a slogan of the McCain Campaign.
