Maybe the State of the Union Address, doesn't really count.
President Barack Obama pushed drilling for gas in shale rock and support for cleaner energy sources to boost the economy in his final State of the Union address before facing U.S. voters in November.
Hydraulic fracturing, the process of injecting water, sand and chemicals underground to free gas trapped in rock, could create more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade, Obama said yesterday. The process, called fracking, is among a list of energy policies Obama said would fuel economic growth.

Ah, but then he supports off shore drilling from Alaska to the Gulf and North Atlantic, and more nuke power too, but hey, who's listening?

Not the people who complain that he's trying to make fossil fuel so expensive that we have to buy Volts as part of a union conspiracy, apparently....

The areas under Obama's influence, federal lands, are frack-free.

Don't you ever tire of being wrong? About a third of all fracking wells are on federal lands.

Started previous to Obama. No new fracking.
All current drilling and fracking is as a result of previously filed paperwork.
Under Obama, the number of wells, oil and fracking have declinied on federal land. As we speak, only about 2% of federal land is open to new drilling.
