Herb Geving is a true American who enjoys 'the black gold' blessings of America regardless what the great liberal ‘Grandma’ Pelosi says about ‘the end of the world in coming soon' due to the use of US ‘black gold’.
Nevertheless, the ‘black gold’ of the American people estimated at 100 billion barrels in off shore oil drilling alone.
This means that Obama and Pelosi are stealing $50,000 from each and every one of the 300 million American by preventing them from drilling the US ‘blessings’ of oil, natural gas, coal, oil shale and tar and use it for the wealth of American people that own it.
Will you as American in a family of 4 people on the average will allow liberal socialist ‘grandma’ Pelosi to steal from you $200,000 in the 'black gold' that belongs to you…?
Obama promised ‘a dream’ about developing ‘new kind’ of futuristic cars that will use new kind of futuristic fuel that will probably never be invented.
Evidently, these futuristic fuel and cars were never invented yet during the recent 120 years of using gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that brought humanity to such great achievements in aviation, space and transportation.
Clearly, as radical liberal Marxist Obama wants to destroy the American dream and make America a third world country of the poor.
It is time for the American people to claim back their country that was blessed with abundant oil, oil shale, coal, natural gas, tar that can be converted to American made low cost gasoline at less than $2/gallon for hundreds years to come.
It is time to claim America back from the liberal socialistic tyrants Pelosi and Reid that use KGB means of darkness to shutoff the lights and microphones on the Capitol Hill.
It is a story of self-destruction of American economy and national security by the liberal socialists that use the Stalinist-KGB lies about the danger of using American oil and demand the dependency on the oil of the worst enemies of US which is “OK”.

This guy is going to be inundated with charity seekers as a result of this article much like lottery winners experience after they get their publicity. He may have to spend some of his not so hard earned money (his words - paraphrased) on security now.

Anyway - Good for you Herb!

Interesting little sideline to this story. We hear quite a bit about the evil and destructive liberal congress suppressing our chance at domestic oil. How horrid indeed, but....

A closer look at this story reveals that this reserve has been known for a hundred years. The reason it is just now beginning to boom? Oil companies found it was cheaper to import than to get this tough oil out of the ground.

High gas prices from politics? Not so much as good ole American greed. The oil companies could have drilled anyway out of patriotic concern. Not.

Who gives a sh*t. Money changes everyone for the worst. When I get a fortune I am going to stop Appalachia from being poor. I'll give to native Americans at the poorest county of them all at South Dakota. I'll also give to India children or something. I won't be corrupted by money. I would like to begin a elephant preserve also. I refuse to be greedy unlike some.

I agree that it's important to give back to society in situations like this. If I ever hit the lotto, I would feel that it's my duty to help others. Would I splurge on a few things? Probably.....but I wouldn't live the true "money is no object" lifestyle. The opportunity to help others would just be too great to pass up.

Maybe when we get done with the jokes we can ask the oil companies why they aren't drilling other leases? Make more money as a middleman? Our friends the oil companies.
