Obama went on to say in order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil we must pursue alternative energy such as Wind and Solar. So really when Obama says "All of the Above" he means "Above Ground", because clearly he wants all energy sources in America that are below ground to stay there.

I was listening to MPR this morning doing their best to defend President Obama's energy policy, which he calls his "All of the Above Plan". Obama is taking credit for all the oil being sucked out of the ground by our neighbor to the west, North Dakota, by saying America is producing more oil now then it was 4 years ago. This may be true but it is in spite of Obama's policies not because of them.

It seems like every week another "Green Energy" company that got billions from the U.S. Tax payers goes belly up. Maybe that's where the term "Green Energy"comes from.
The Main Stream Press has also been saying that the president can't control gas prices. This may be true also but if Obama held a press conference tomorrow and said he was opening up ANWR to drilling, allowing offshore drilling in the Gulf and was allowing the Canadian pipeline to go through, oil prices would fall immediately.
