However, if you work with the math, you will see that there should be no reason for any guilt because there is more than enough oil to go around for everybody. To begin with, American ingenuity now produces ten percent of the world’s flowing oil supply while we sit upon only three percent of the world’s reserves. If ten percent of the world’s oil consumption can be produced by only three percent of the world’s oil reserves, then one hundred percent of the world’s oil consumption should be able to be produced by only thirty percent of the world’s oil reserves, leaving a staggering seventy percent of the world’s oil reserves for the future.

After the debate, I said to my wife "I wish they would stop quoting all these millions, billions, and trillions. Nobody understands them!" Obama has been accused of not being specific, but he keep saying 95% will get a tax cut. Not 96% and not 94%, but 95%. That is pretty specific! So, the guy can’t talk with specificity about the beginning of life, but it’s not above his pay grade to say who is getting a tax cut.
