Comments by "" (@charlesvan13) on "Obama Brags He Created Record Oil Production" video.
The explanation is simple. Fracking and horizontal drilling have made previous dry wells productive again. It has nothing to do with Bush or Obama, rather extraction techniques have improved. I have relatives who own 160 acres in OK. An oil company drilled on it about 35 years ago and got a really lame well, which was capped after a few years. About 5 years ago a well was drilled, under a few square miles. The oil company has to give a share to each property owner they drill under. Now, I think their royalties are significant, 3000-9000 dollars per month, depending on the price of oil.

What did Obama and Trump do that's corrupt. Lying about the Iran deal? I'm not sure lying is what is meant by "corruption". Corruption usually refers to quid pro quo, bribes and kickbacks, i.e. using political power for personal financial gain. No one really comes close to the Clintons for that. What's creepy is that the political establishment has always tolerated it. The MS media and Dems are searching like mad for the undiscovered Russia connection to Trump, while the Clintons got millions in donations for the Rosaton uranium deal. They've been consistent with this behavior. Bill Clinton got illegal campaign donation from the Chinese and in exchange sent them advanced missile technology.

Rad Derry Everybody lies, but lawyers and politicians and media hacks are pathological liars. My point is that "corruption" means something else. In certain countries for example, the bureaucrats expect payments, such as India. I doubt Indians lie more. Corruption is something else.

Rad Derry If you care about corruption then certainly want a right of center government. If we had Hillary Clinton, rather than Trump, we would have 95% of the media and political establishment covering for her. Just consider what she's been able to get away with, while they've been trying to cook up a fake "Russia collusion" scandal to get Trump.
