He should be called out on that total BS.
People have said for years if we could lower oil prices the economy would start to boom, while at the same time people like Obama said it would have no effect. Bull! I can already see a major difference in how companies are operating equipment.

Then, poor ole CNN has started posting these sad stories about all these roughnecks in ND and Texas losing there jobs because oil is so cheap. Sorry if I don't give a shit as the same people didn't care when coal started getting scrapped.

You're right and it's happened before. From 1973 through 1979 American's dealt with rising gasoline prices, and shortages made world headlines. Although the media were not willing to stretch the truth to the level they are now. So, Republicans did not get the blame. Instead we questioned the wisdom of cutting back on oil exploration and refining. Politicians encouraged oil expansion and even funded projects like coal liquefaction, from which gasoline could be refined.

When gasoline became affordable and available again, that heralded the economic boom times presided over by Ronald Reagan. Fear was replaced by optimism and free enterprise did the rest. But, you're right. Whenever liberals are shown to be wrong which is every time, they always snatch victory out of the jaws of embarrassment. Administration liberals have been working overtime trying to eliminate the use of fossil fuels via onerous regulation, affecting coal and gasoline consumption in particular. But now that the fracking industry has saved the economy, they're claiming they did it. In fact, Keynesian Economics according to it's creator, will not work at all if a nation has to go into debt by borrowing money to employ them. His explicit advice was, in no case other than emergencies such as war, should government spend more than it takes in. In the same mold, global warming has been shown to be a hoax, so what did they do? Merely claim that colder than normal winters are part of global warming, not that there is any model which demonstrates that to go by.

Thinking about the number of things this administration has been wrong about is mind numbing. They've got this idea that there is such a thing as 20th century thinking. In other words, nearly every idea prior to the year 2000 is supposedly a passé relic harbored by stupid Republicans. From foreign policy which features asking Russians to push an imaginary reset button, to laughing at Mitt Romney for suggesting that Russia was America's greatest Geopolitical foe, to ObamaCare to downsizing the oil industry, they get it wrong every time.
