OBAMA: "We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding
new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before."
THE FACTS: Oil imports peaked in 2005 at just over 5 billion barrels,
and have been declining slightly since. The figure in 2007 was 4.9
billion barrels, or about 58 percent of total consumption. The nation is
on pace this year to import 4.7 billion barrels, and government
projections are for imports to hold steady or decrease a bit over the
next two decades.
Lies you can believe in.

The "slight decline" of which you wrote gets lost in the overall
increase when you look at the long term trend.

It is UP.

Let me suggest that you are putting a different spin on the story. The
statement made by Obama was "Yet we import more oil today than ever
before.". Archangel pointed out that was not the truth.

When a person cannot refute the statement made, they resort to personal
insults. It is how they end the conversation.

Jerry, you're full of shit, trying to back up someone who is full of shit.

The trend of US consumption of foreign oil is up. A couple of months do
not negate the trend of decades.

Go find someone who gives a shit about your anal attentiveness to minutiae.
