In the last two days, Obama has said - through White House Spokesman Jay Carney - that while he accepts responsibility as any President should for coming up with a new comprehensive energy policy, he will not admit culpability in failing to make the most of the resources we currently have available. Carney's exact words were, "If you're suggesting that there is responsibility for a rise in the global price of oil, it's certainly not because of anything he hasn't done to expand domestic oil and gas production."
It wouldn't be so funny if this statement didn't come in the wake of Obama's complete and utter failure in terms of the Keystone XL pipeline, a deal that Carney claims fell through because "Republicans prevented a full environmental review from taking place."
(It should be noted here that Republicans only asked the President for conditional approval of the pipeline project, pending the environmental review he asserts they blocked, in order to keep Canada from offering the project to China.)
Fail, Sir.
