He ceded US energy production to our competitors (some one could argue are our enemies) yet thinks the boom in oil and gas industry is because of him. Wasn&#8217;t this the same obama who condemned fracking, which is the technology behind a lot of the booming production? How can you take credit for oil and gas production if you did everything possible to stop the technology that yielded it!? <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xEL7XqJTcKo\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWhen obama would say he was in favor of &#8220;all of the above&#8221; in energy  production he was literally talking about only those sources above  ground: wind, solar, hydro etc. His admin, via weaponizing the EPA and other agencies did everything possible to limit our oil and gas production. <\/p>\n<p>Never seen anyone who worked so hard to destroy American industry and wealth be so self-centered and delusional that the very industries he tried to destroy, now booming, are because of him!
