Democrats Supports Drilling- in Columbia

If you believe that drilling for oil is bad and destructive to the environment but yet you need oil to continue to survive as a society, than the best way to do it is in the most nondestructive manner using the safest methods in the most green friendly nation in the world. To ban drilling in your safe, clean, and green nation and then turn around and support drilling in less safe, clean, and green nations is to work to damage the environment more and to cause more global warming (if you believe it), while demonstrating that you are a hypocrite.

Yet that is exactly what the Obama administration is doing- banning and hindering the more safe and more environmentally-friendly drilling methods that the United States can be engaged in while on the other hand supporting less safe and less environmentally-friendly drilling methods in other nations. The Obama administration is quickly owning the word hypocrisy, and will soon redefine it from "a state of incongruence between one's professed beliefs and feelings and one's actual beliefs and feelings" to "acting like Barack Obama and his Democratic allies."

From memeorandum, U.S. Gov't Agency Plans $2.84 Billion Loan for Oil Refinery—In Colombia:

The U.S. Export-Import Bank, an independent agency of the federal government, is now planning a $2.84-billion loan for a massive project to expand and upgrade an oil refinery--in Cartagena, Colombia. The money would go to Reficar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil company.

“This is part of a $5.18 billion refinery and upgrade project in Cartagena, Colombia supplying petroleum products to the domestic and export markets,” the Export-Import Bank said in a statement.

The U.S. government-controlled bank says the $2.84-billion in financing it plans to undertake will be the second largest project it has ever done. The largest was $3 billion in financing for a liquid natural gas project in Papua New Guinea....

....Also according to NPRA, the last time a new oil refinery was built in the United States was 1993, when a small facility was built in Valdez, Alaska. The last time a new large oil refinery was built in the United States was 1976, says NPRA....

The current chairman and president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States is Fred P. Hochberg, who was appointed Democratic President Barack Obama in January 2009 and confirmed by the Democratic Senate in May 2009. He was major fundraiser and bundler for Barack Obama's Presidential campaign in 2008 and was member of the Obama transition team. He is a Democrat, appointed by a Democrat, confirmed by Democrats, who supports the Democratic policy of no drilling in America but supporting drilling in other nations. He is currently an unregistered Hypocrite.
