President Obama speech: Addicted to Oil

Barack Obama says he will make BP pay for damage caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Amid anger over his initial response to the crisis, the President called the disaster an "assault on America" during his first Oval Office address. Almost two months after an oil rig explosion, millions of litres of oil are still pouring into the ocean. In his speech, Obama, said the disaster should mark the beginning of the end for America's addiction to fossil fuels. But as RT's Lauren Lister reports, the nation may not be ready for that just yet.

@sharingundragon ~~Old news. I here ya and you are right. But this is just a basic fact. Like the world is round. All empires have fallen for various reasons, it is only a matter of when. A short post could not elaborate the full complexities of its folly. Our biggest problem revolves around our debt levels. Personal, City, State, and Federal debt are astounding and we cannot maintain. I just hope we don't end up with barbarians at the gate! Everyone needs to learn how to budgt

@Naobi891 Thanks and all, but even the majority of Americans cannot stand this NWO puppet fraud.

@bookhound63, you are right. Obama is Soros's puppet and they are trying to convince us to destroy ourselves. There's plenty of oil to keep our country prosperous and people employed. The artificial scarcity is CREATED by U.S. enemies like Soros and Obama.
