Obama is running campaign ads that talk about our addiction to foreign oil... Let's talk about that. Whose fault is it that we have to depend on foreign oil, anyway? Didn't Republicans try and open up the ANWR reserves to get our own oil and the Democrats (with the help of environmentalists) stopped them. So we are only addicted to foreign oil because whack jobs won't let us drill in our own country AND will not let us build any new refineries.
But what bothers me more is the reference to addiction. Addiction is an ugly word when applied to drugs and alcohol because addiction destroys lives. Oil is not an addiction because it does NOT destroy lives. In fact, try and have our quality of life without it. Someone needs to call him on his BULL!
