Spence, just because production is up a bit (or even a lot), doesn't mean it's not being suppressed. If Obama is preventing the oil companies from doing what they would like to do (which is irrefutably the case), he is suppressing production.
Spence, you said that clearly Obama isn't suppressing production? That necessarily means that Obama isn't stopping the oil companies from doing a single thing they'd like to do. That's what zero suppression means. You're saying that's the case? Obama has never said "no" to oil production? That's your claim?
If he has ever said no, then he is suppressing production.
Suppression isn't measured by how much oil production increased over last year. Suppression is measured by the barrels of oil that don't get produced because Obama rejected the permits. That's what suppression means.
Try making that wrong.
