Why is Obama telling all oil producing countries to drill?
ByBaby, drill except for the US and why is he not worried about the US economy but instead the world economy?
"We’re talking to oil producers around the world and letting them know it’s in their interest to make sure that high oil prices don’t end up hurting the world economy," Obama said in an interview with the CBS affiliate WTKR in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

However it is not normal for a president to not issue drill permits for the US,,,,maybe he should be talking to the EPA.
Proud union tug: We are into 2011,,,,the post was from tuesday, attempt to stay on topic.
Because he is trying to "spread the wealth around".
What that means is Americans need to lower their lifestyle so other countries can raise theirs. (0bama’s plan not mine)
Spreading the wealth is really spreading the poverty.
The US is not a major oil producer.

It’s normal for U.S. presidents to ask OPEC to increase production during a fuel crisis. Supposedly even w did this to Saudi Arabia.
"We’re talking to oil producers around the world and letting them know it’s in their interest to make sure that high oil prices don’t end up hurting the world economy,"
Yes, this could hurt the world economy even more.

Where in your quote does it say to drill? He is stating that high oil prices will hurt the economy.
Drill all you want but it will not affect the price of oil…speculation on the commodities market is what sets the price.

Obama wants to continue the policy of oil importation in order to denounce it later and push a "green" agenda.

When Obama calls for more drilling in other countries it’s for the purpose of lowering the price of oil. When we try to harvest our own gigantic oil reserves the leftists tell us that won’t do anything to lower the price of oil.

Oil drilling in the US is at a 25 year high under Obama.
Turn off the f0x spews and get informed instead.
