Very nicely done, as an explanation from a Canadian perspective. As indicated, it’s evident that our Mr Obama values Saudi Arabian “CONFLICT” oil over closer, friendlier Canadian oil. “Conflict Diamonds”? How about CONFLICT OIL?

Further, from CNBC, Donald Trump says OPEC is larfing their asses off at our inane “leadership.” My quotation marks. To wit:

The leaders of OPEC are “sitting around their table, setting the price of oil and laughing at us because we have no leadership,” real estate mogul Donald Trump told CNBC Tuesday.

That includes U.S. ally Saudi Arabia, whose Prince Alawaleed bin Talal recently told CNBC the price of oil won’t exceed $100 a barrel. Crude oil is currently at around $108.

“I have many friends in Saudi Arabia and other countries and they can’t believe what they’re getting away with,” Trump said. “They can’t believe how stupid we are. We don’t need Saudi Arabia.”

This time Saudi Arabia is correct and, of course, Donald Trump is correct. We don’t need Saudi Arabia whilst we have the Bakken Fields, massive fields of our own natural gas, fields in ANWR, fields a short distance off our very own coasts. And Keystone XL.

Whatever greater pain WILL be felt by the American Consumer shortly, remember this: Mr Obama purposely CHOSE “CONFLICT OIL” over friendly oil, and purposely CHOSE to disallow drilling our OWN resources.
