Trish, this paper seems to agree with you.
http://blog.heritage.org/2010/04/01/mor ... ame/print/
"President Obamaâ€™s Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who was at yesterdayâ€™s announcement, has said, â€œSomehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."
So, we explore for oil in areas that don't have any and we cancel leases in areas that are proven. No problem,, his science advisor says that the U.S. needs to de-industrialize.

Well, after we blow the shit out of Iran and cut off the oil passing through the Straights of Hormuz, we should de-industrialize pretty fast.

Notice that Sen Graham is pushing the war on Iran. He's also responsible for gutting the Glass-Steagal act with the Graham-Leachy bill. That allowed the banks to pull a "repeat" of the 1929 crash. If Obummer deserves a "peace prize", then I'm sure that Leachy deserves some kind of patriotism award.

The oil-cartel is having a tough time trying to show declining oil production. PETROBRAS and the Russian oil company have hundreds of billions of barrels with new techniques. A few billion barrels in the Baken field are hard to ignore. Now, some SOB has found 1/2 billion barrels off Louisiana;

How are we going to justify high oil prices if it's turning up everywhere you look [except for the new leases] ?
But, obummer doesn't discriminate. He doesn't want nukes either.

He "LOANED" $12million of OUR money to Brazil for drilling
that will benifit China. Part of his trillion dollar debt.

Is that screen? in front of him in that picture one of those "telepromtors?"

Ever had a job?

A chart that showed past presidents and the percentage of each president's
cabinet appointees who had previously worked in the private sector - you know, a
real life business, not a government job? Remember what that is? A private
business?

* Roosevelt - 38%
* Taft - 40%
* Wilson - 52%
* Harding - 49%
* Coolidge - 48%
* Hoover - 42%
* FDR - 50%
* Truman - 50%
* Eisenhower - 57%
* Kennedy - 30%
* LBJ - 47%
* Nixon - 53%
* Ford - 42%
* Carter - 32%
* Reagan - 56%
* GHWB - 51%
* Clinton - 39%
* GWB - 55%

And the Winner is.........................

* Obama - 8%*

ONLY ONE IN TWELVE in the Obama Cabinet HAS EVER HAD A PRIVATE SECTOR JOB.

*YEP, EIGHT PERCENT!

disappointing, but, not surprising........

above most on the left, I think he feels he's smarter than us all, and, can/will tell us how to live and what to think.
Appointing "academics" would go along with that.

"it's not that communism doesn't work, they just did it wrong. We're smarter, we, will do it right".

I think that most of them qualify as "rabble rousers:", rather than academics. He's a big piece of shit. Compare him to a self-made man;

8% ... that would be, like, one single cabinet appointee.

I think this is obvious from how they handle every problem. To them the government is the answer to every problem.

When your only tool is a hammer, all the world's problems look like your thumb.

why do we hear nothing about trips for 60 or so close friends, to Spain?
or shopping in London.
Or, 5 minute speeches in Copenhagen.

on and on..........all the "greenies" that voted for him, are surprisingly silent as to his carbon footprint.

I personally, have to trouble with it, chalk it up to "perks of the presidency",
but, I note, the screamers when it's not "their guy" doing it.

This is the most vacationing, partying President I have ever seen in my life.

He is just raiding the treasury and blowing he money they extract from the people. Now to be fair, presidents have spent more total time on "vacations" but they were often at what was described as the "Summer White House", a place to get away from the heat and humidity of Washington DC. This guy is absolutely opulent in his wasting of the taxpayer's money.

Funny article;
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-h ... 86820.html
"Why does the Obama administration keep looking for love in all the wrong places? Why does it go out of its way to alienate its friends, while wooing people who will never waver in their hatred?"

can't sit still · Post by **can't sit still** » Fri Oct 08, 2010 7:59 pm

I got this in mail. It's interesting. Dunno how much truth there is to it.

Our President May Be In Deep Trouble...

Chief Justice John Roberts, U.S. Supreme Court.
According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government,
a smackdown of Barack Obama by the U.S. Supreme Court may be inevitable.
Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues.
Critics have complained that much, if not all of Obama's major initiatives run headlong into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government.
Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling that the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads during the time of an election.
The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Sam Alito, who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, 'That's not true,'when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court's ruling.
As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court, even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.
Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, that is, apart from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and so on.
And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.'
Apparently, the Court has had enough.
The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner, of course, that it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven.
A ruling against Obama on any one of these important issues could potentially cripple the Administration.
Such a thing would be long overdue.
First, there is ObamaCare, which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing citizens to purchase something.
And no, this is not the same thing as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the intellectually-impaired claim.
The Constitution limits FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things, and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle.
In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can 'opt out.'
Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President.
The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut, while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii.
And that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity, conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials, if not Obama himself, in hot water with the Court.
Frankly, in the years this writer has observed politics, nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years.
Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to the jokers that populate this Administration.
In addition, the Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ suing the state of Arizona.
That, too, could send the Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave, given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.
And finally, the biggie that could potentially send the entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is the latest revelation concerning the Obama-Holder Department of Justice and its refusal to pursue the New Black Panther Party.
The group was caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls.
A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal to pursue cases against Blacks, particularly those who are involved in radical hate-groups, such as the New Black Panthers, who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of white people and their babies.
This one is a biggie that could send the entire Administration crumbling--that is, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

More bull shit. Bush spent way more time on vacation--and not at any summer white house...unless you consider the ranch in texas a summer white house.

I won't even comment on the second paragraph other than to say more bull shit.

Not necessarily true. Personally I feel that the Presidency is the most powerful office in the world (at least for the time being) and I want my president to have and enjoy those perks. I was, and still am, pissed that Carter sold the presidential yacht. (Carter is a democrat, in case there are any young people, or Christine O'Donnell or any other Tea Party "intellectuals" might be reading this.)

The body of the post is about the executive branch trying too hard to control the judicial branch. If you think that saying "BS" is an adequate rebuttal, I have to ask; Are you actually a grown and thinking man?

"If someone like Karl Rove had wanted to neutralize the most creative, intelligent, and passionate members of his opposition, he'd have a hard time coming up with a better tool than Burning Man. Exile them to the wilderness, give them a culture in which alpha status requires months of focus and resource-consumptive preparation, provide them with metric tons of psychotropic confusicants, and then . . . ignore them. It's a pretty safe bet that they won't be out registering voters, or doing anything that might actually threaten electoral change, when they have an art car to build." - John Perry Barlow

Everyone is entitled to their own "opinion", but not to their own "facts"; it just pisses me off when people don't seem to know the difference.

These days (and the GOP is especially guilty of this), as long as you repeat something enough times, it becomes a fact (in peoples heads at least).

It's very scary, IMO.

No, they are not alone there.
Hence my use of the term "especially" rather than "exclusively".

They have certainly perfected the art form though. "Death panels", "Obama is a Muslim", "Taxes are too high" (even though Federal taxes are at the lowest level in decades), etc.

Repeat things over and over, on hate-wing radio and FoxNewsPAC, and eventually even the so-called 'liberal media' (another example, BTW) will pick it up.

Seems he doesnt have the power most people thinks he has.

I would like a presidant that works 16hrs, a day and give a public update once a month instead of posturing for the masses.

Go to work dammit!
