former president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, who said former President Barack Obama had nothing to do with America’s increased oil production and actually frustrated many areas of the energy sector. He shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and stopped America from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Hofmeister said “this was production in states like Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado — North Dakota in particular. And these were all state decisions made with industry applications for permits. The federal government had no role. He was trying to frustrate the efforts by taking federal lands off of the availability list — Putting them just, no more drilling (sic). …“(He) changed the regulations from an average of 60 to 80 pages per permit to 600 to 800 pages per permit. ” … Obama had no role in the increases and he tried to decrease oil production as much and as often as he could. Now he’s trying to take credit, in fact he is wrongly giving hiimself credit for what he worked against. Obama is lying. It’s that simple… Lying.. “I would say that he was not a leader when it comes to energy,” Hofmeister declared.
