The need to help spread democracy and the ability to do that will be much greater if we break this addiction to oil, which gives the oil princes and sultans the power in the Mideast.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We clearly need to break our addiction on Saudi Arabian oil that is a security threat to the United States.
The more we are consuming oil that either comes from places that are bent on our destruction or helping those who are... the more we are enabling those who are trying to kill us.
No longer should we rely on oil from countries that are not necessarily friendly or democratic.
If our country is serious about reducing our dependency on foreign oil, we need to get serious about mobilizing the infrastructure necessary to distribute and dispense the next generation of fuels.
We need to break our dependency on foreign sources of oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers. To do that, we should increase domestic energy production.
We have to get the oil where the oil is.
We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum.
We need to move away from oil, period.
Across the country, people are willing to tighten their belts and sacrifice. The president should ask the oil industry to do the same.
Despite the previous efforts of Congresses, our addiction to foreign oil, as the President stated, is greater today than ever before. That dependency is a threat to our national security, and we must address that threat.
