The economy has finally begun to improve because of plummeting oil prices. Remember when candidate Obama proclaimed that we could not drill our way to prosperity? Now, he is claiming credit for lower oil prices and increased production.

The increases in oil and gas production have both come from wells drilled on private property. Production from federal leases has declined thanks to Obama and the Democrat.

Have you noticed the reaction of Democrats to the lower fuel prices and slight improvements to our economy? Tax increases. There is now renewed talk of a carbon tax because we can now "afford it."

The only law that Obama seems to follow is Murphy's law. If things can go wrong, they will go wrong. Obama will see to that.
