He says that he is  looking forward to importing oil from them in the future. He wants to  reduce the United States dependency on the Middle Eastern countries for  oil.<\/p>\n<p>Some say he is a hypocrite, because he and his administration have been  trying to ban offshore drilling since he became President. Obama&#8217;s  refusal to issue new drilling permits is forcing the rigs out of the  Gulf of Mexico and on to other countries that want to do business. The  oil and gas prices are all ready soaring and the United States oil  production is expected to drop by at least 200,000 barrels a day this  year. Combined with approximately 20,000 lost jobs in the U. S. oil  industry, some of his supporters are becoming doubtful that the economy  will improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Obama made a visit to Brazil last weekend to show his support for their decision to drill offshore for gas and oil.
