Obama, the Oil Man

Obama Mocks Critics As Gas Prices Go Up "Anticipating the obvious criticism — that his investment in the Solyndra solar plant went belly up, costing American taxpayers $535 million — the President mocked those who question his ideas, saying they “lack imagination,” and he turned to name calling in order to deflect legitimate concerns about the viability of his green pipe dream and the fact that it has not produced the jobs that he promised:"...
...."Now, though, he is attempting to have it both ways, and is expected to announce plans to fast-track the southern portion of the pipeline. But this is all for show, as his announcement won’t change anything. TransCanada told Bloomberg News that the President’s announcement won’t affect their schedule at all, where construction on the southern portion is already slated to begin in June."

Obama Tries to Screw in Loose Bulb of Energy Record “President Obama’s visit just highlights that he is continuing to obstruct construction of the Keystone XL project while gas prices continue to rise for American consumers,” Hoeven’s office said in announcing the planned rebuttal. “The fact is, the southern portion of the project doesn’t require presidential approval because it doesn’t cross an international border. It requires approval by only state authorities, the Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Faith-based energy policy 

"Obama, however, earns additional blame for the gas rise for reasons well beyond the normal oil bogeymen -- tension in the Middle East, rapacious OPECdictators, oil company greed and Wall Street speculation."
.... "Technologies like fracking and horizontal drilling have made it possible for Americans to produce their own oil and gas as never before. We can pump oil with less environmental damage than can Venezuela, Mexico and Nigeria. New domestic production would save a near-bankrupt America billions of dollars currently being lost in import costs while cutting security expenses in deploying forces to the Middle East."

Democrats pile on Romney over Etch A Sketch comments

"The American Bridge ad follows a similar tact, following Fehrnstrom's comments with video of the toy featuring one of Romney's previously held positions on issues like abortion rights and support for the National Rifle Association. After the toy shakes, Romney's more recent stance on the issues appears.

" "While the quote may have just happened today, the sentiment has long been a way of life for Mitt Romney, who has 'shook & erased' his views on the issues over and over again," said American Bridge spokesman Chris Harris."

Jennifer Rubin: Romney favored TARP? And Bush signed it? 

"There’s nothing like the left-wing blogosphere to tip you off to the latest line of attack against the presumptive nominee Mitt Romney. Take this headline: “Romney Embraces Bush Economic Policies.” In fact, all that Romney did was point out something that a great many Democrats have been pointing out: The Troubled Asset Relief Program likely prevented a total financial meltdown in the fall of 2008.

"Oh, Romney points out, that would be George W Bush and not Barack Obama, who was busy avoiding taking a position during the campaign, who came up with the legislation and fought to get it through Congress."... 

The Obamas Should Remove the Girls from View

White House Dossier "As is well known now, several news outlets initially reported that Malia Obama was spending spring break in Mexico. And then the articles just disappeared  without a trace. The White House, it turned out, informed these publications that Malia’s security could be jeopardized and demanded that they be removed.

"Normally, I support efforts to minimize reporting on a president’s children, especially when there are security issues involved.

"But the Obamas have two problems here."  

 A new Internet ad by the president’s reelection campaign features a portrait of the first family asking supporters to “help the Obamas stand up for working Americans.” The appeal, a departure from the typical Obama messaging, provides an early glimpse of the role the president’s wife and daughters are likely to play in his campaign.

I have big problems with that "peace" symbol on her shirt, but that is for another time. TD


Debbie Schlussel:  Media Work Overtime to Erase Story on Malia Obama Spring Break w/ 25 Secret Svc Agents
"Every drunken exploit of the Bush daughters was covered 24/7 when he was Prez, and Rick Santorum’s kids are already getting attacked by several comedians.  But the Obama girls?  Well, a story about Malia Obama’s spring break trip to Oaxaca, Mexico with 25 Secret Service agents was erased from all the mainstream media websites.  Hmmm . . . working overtime to meet the Obama edicts about not covering his daughter, apparently.  I was away at a movie screening and other duties, and when I returned and clicked on various links to the story from the Drudge Report and Google News, I got nothing, nada.  The story’s been yanked.  No note that it isn’t true.  Just gone."
Ms. Schlussel wrote that she linked to the UK Telegraph story on Obama and this is what she got:

This link works so far.



Like Mother Like Daughter: Malia Obama and 25 Secret Service Agents Jet to Mexico for Spring Break   

"Despite warnings from the Texas Department of Public Safety that students avoid Mexico for spring break, many ignored cautions and ventured to cities and resort towns throughout Mexico.

However, most students do not have a team of bodyguards to ensure their safety.

"Malia landed in Oaxaca on Saturday with 12 of her friends and 25 secret service agents in tow. The teen flew from Houston on United Airlines, as originally reported by Mexican newspaper Milenio. The group was escorted to their hotel in three bulletproof SUVs, with some streets partially blocked off while the teens were en route."

Meanwhile, Bristol Palin still waits for her phone call from the President.

Do you know what "BOHICA*" means?

*Bend over, here it comes again.

Lets check in on those "occupiers", shall we? You know- those people supported by Obama, Pelosi and Hollywood.

Lovely: Occupiers Dump Bucket of Human Waste Down Public Staircase   "Police say an Occupy Wall Street protester dumped a tub of human waste down a public stairwell and inside a bank vestibule, and got caught on video.  Police said Occupy Wall Street protesters were captured on surveillance video dragging a large receptacle of human urine and feces to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar streets last Wednesday evening, just before 8 p.m. They then poured the waste down a set of stairs there, police said. About 20 minutes later, one of the protesters entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and poured human waste inside there, police said." 

SHOCK VIDEO: Wall Street Occupier's Shirtless Rant On Top Of George Washington Statue...   "Last night about 50 demonstrators marched along Broadway to Union Square to protest the NYPD's mass arrests at Zuccotti Park Saturday night. They set up a camp along the main set of stairs facing Broadway. After spending the night in the park this morning one protester was arrested after climbing up on top of the statue of George Washington astride a horse, ranting and stripping off his shirt."


“Thank God For Anarchists”: Michael Moore Openly Calls For Communist Revolution 

"Speaking at the Left Forum on Saturday night, just hours before he was heckled at Occupy Wall Street, multi-millionaire Michael Moore openly rooted for anarchists and revolution. "



From Weasel Zippers: 

"Welcome to phase two of Occupy Miami. Protesters call it “Peace City.” Locals call it a living hell." 



OWS Exposed:  ‘Only Blood of the Rich Will Stop Occupy’: St. Louis Hit with frightening Occupy graffiti   "Buildings, walls, and statues have all been defaced.  The city’s public safety director woke up to the words, “Blood on your hands,” sprayed on his front steps.

Similarly, a hundred-year old statue now has the words “class war” scrawled across it, and a door that says “Park Police” now reads, “Only the blood of the rich will stop Occupy.”"

The legacy of Obama and the Democrat Party for all to see.
OWS Exposed has this petition for readers to sign. We doubt the efficacy of online petitions, but do want you to see the content of it. I'd love to see it go viral:

Whereas America has always been a land of opportunity where each citizen is free to pursue their individual dreams for success and enjoy the fruits of their labor, and
Whereas President Obama originally ran on the promise of uniting America; and
Whereas OWS is emblematic of the politics of envy, hate and class warfare, with participants including paid political operatives, communists, anarchists and socialists whose goals appear to include the disruption of our nation’s institutions; and
Whereas the Occupy protestors have vandalized public property including memorials to soldiers who gave their life defending our freedoms, including the freedom to protest; and
Whereas the Occupy protestors have frequently engaged in violent and criminal behavior; and
Whereas it is shameful and un-American for the president of the United States to endorse a movement that has been characterized by disrespect for the law and American society.
Therefore, I do hereby call upon President Obama to retract his endorsement of OWS and to instead to call upon these protestors to clean-up their act, stop littering, stop disrupting traffic and commerce and to comply with all local statutes and ordinances.

Send Lizzie Borden to Washington

My search for the best conservative candidate continues with this counterpoint to the one following after (below)....


Ann Coulter  "Any Republican governor of a blue state who manages to balance the budget without raising taxes should be a nominee for Mount Rushmore, to say nothing of president.

"Mitt Romney was governor of a state so blue, it's North Korea with more Irish people, and he balanced the budget without raising taxes.

....

"But you'd think we would at least have Santorum's vote against federal funding for pornographers and deviants. Alas, no.

"The NEA, you will recall, uses federal taxpayer money to subsidize crucifixes submerged in urine, photos of bullwhips up a man's derriere, poems celebrating the Central Park jogger's rapists, photos of amputated human genitalia, vomit, mutilated corpses and dead fetuses. (And that was just the children's wing of the museum!)

"But Rick Santorum voted against cutting funding for the NEA every time a vote was taken both as a representative and a senator -- in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997 and 1998. These weren't accidental votes. Each one was deemed a key conservative vote on which members of Congress would be graded by the American Conservative Union.

"There's your "true conservative," values voters."
