In his news conference last Friday, President Obama said something that struck many observers as interesting. He told reporters, “Last year, American oil production reached its highest level since 2003. Let me repeat that. Our oil production reached its highest level in seven years. Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached […]

But the ruling is sure to raise some eyebrows for the lack of understanding shown by Bolton as far as unintended consequences. Or perhaps this is what she […]
