Despite President Barack Obama

From ZeroHedge:

The US quietly surpassed Saudi Arabia as the biggest oil producer in the world.
You read that correctly: "The jump in output from shale plays has led to the second biggest oil boom in history," stated Reuters on October 15. "U.S. output, which includes natural gas liquids and biofuels, has swelled 3.2 million barrels per day (bpd) since 2009, the fastest expansion in production over a four-year period since a surge in Saudi Arabia's output from 1970-1974."

A hearty Ushanka Tip to what remains of the Private Sector.
