KOMMONSENTS WROTE: OK, I give up, what is ODS? it really doesn't take much more effort to spell it out so we actually know exactly what you are talking about, that is unless you don't want us to know. But, I really want to know what ODS is.
And what makes it garbage? Is that because someone else wrote it? Or because it is political in your opinion? Please explain so we know what your point is.
Is this a political opinion?
Or are you just trying to make a PC statement unsuccessfully? Really confused here.....
I really want to understand.

Hello Kommonsents,
The poster who responded to my posting possibly thought I was making a political statement or insult to the POTUS. For those who don't know. POTUS is the offical acronym used by many for President of the United States. Just as FLOTUS is First Lady of the United States and SCOTUS is Supreme Court of the United States. The first time I saw these terms I had not idea what they meant, but some people don't bother to look it up and assume it is derogatory, like perhaps the above poster. It's not at all a disrespectful term. Just like SHU is not derogatory.
Regarding the term ODS used by the poster above, that statement is a a very derogatory term looking at the context and the possible meanings I saw on the internet. But I'll leave that answer for someone else.
To clarify the point I think Mr. Obama may not allow the export of crude oil. This is based on his prior track record on coal with the issuing of his EPA regulations. So he has very strong convictions about his environmental policy. Realize that coal is struggling to survivie due to lower demand and the price collapse, and most of the miners are union members, i.e., I presume previously strong Obama supporters. So his environmental supporters and convictions virtually killed what is already a near death industry. The E&P upstream business is largely nonunion. So I think his environmental leanings which undeniably are left of center, could trump again and go against oil exporting. This is also consistent with his veto on the Keystone pipeline as an anti oil, pro environmental position. I think this is a reasonable prediction based on some his more recent actions that many conservatives and pro Obama supporters might agree on, except for maybe the prior poster. Not sure where he's coming from.
Best regards,
