At the Baker Institute gala in Houston on Tuesday, Barack Obama to credit for America’s increase in oil production after 8 years of his anti-drilling rhetoric and policies. WATCH:

This would be the same Barack Obama who in 2012 endorsed this op-ed declaring that “The U.S. can’t just ‘drill its way to energy independence'”:
New York Times’ Robert Semple: The U.S can’t just “drill its way to energy independence.” http://t.co/DlEAG3lT #RealRomney

And the same Barack Obama who in 2013 said that “We can’t just drill our way out of the energy and climate challenge that we face. That’s not possible.”
"We can’t just drill our way out of the energy and climate challenge that we face. That’s not possible." —President Obama #ActOnClimate

What a shameless hack:
GTFO with this nonsense.

Fact check:
Wrong. Bush runoff and fact of market opportunity in new technologies such as fracking. Pres. Obama tried to burn fossil fuel industry. Keystone??? https://t.co/GW3uviUQru

Can you believe he said this in Texas of all places?
I think the men and women who work 12+ hour backbreaking shifts on an oil rig weeks at a time, missing holidays, birthdays, first steps, etc. would beg to differ. https://t.co/Pc5xCXFbn4

We also enjoyed his bragging about how great he was for Wall Street:
Obama bragging that he was great for Wall St. and corporate stocks is ???? https://t.co/U7tunj6Hib

It’s reminiscent of his same BS when he told entrepreneurs they didn’t build their own companies because of roads and such:
They didn't build that! https://t.co/lNm46U5DWJ
