What did this nation expect when they supposedly elected an oil man for president?

We have thousands of oil wells that we are not using right now, and they will be out dated when the auto industry finds an alternative to oil. Why not use what we have? Let's help American people, and get us back in business.

I think it's time we start pumping our own wells. We have oil. Look at all the wells that were shut down in Oklahoma, texas, New Mexico, and Alaska. Why are we not using it. If we don't do this, after they find an alternative to oil, these will be useless. Let's get our own wells pumping. Ditty10322
