Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., proposed that we open U.S. waters between 50 and 200 miles off shore for drilling. The first 50 miles off shore would be left untouched.
Enter Barak Hussein Obama stating “I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing. …if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money into their pockets, but also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more quickly, particularly U.S. automakers, then I think ultimately, we can come out of this stronger and have a more efficient energy policy than we do right now.”
What the heck is he saying?? Lots of words that mean nothing.
Put money into our pockets? Fat chance.
‘Encourage the market’ to adapt to these new circumstances more quickly (how are we supposed to do that?) particularly US automakers (are we all supposed to buy new cars now?) What is your average American supposed to do as gas and food prices increase out of control? Salaries aren’t keeping up with the extra expenses we’re all enduring.
I think John McCain needs to run with the ‘drill now, drill here’ mantra, run with the ‘build 50 new nuclear plants’ in the next 10 years mantra. Americans don’t give a hoot about bogus CO2 crap (thank you oh mighty Gore-acle, inventor of the Internet) when they are faced with $5/gallon gas and sky high food prices, thanks in part to more bogus ethanol crap. Do you know what I think would be really cool???? I think it would be neat for some politician to run on whatever platform it takes to get him/her elected, and then once he’s in office to tell it totally like it is, the heck with the political consequences. Wouldn’t that be a novel idea, a politician who tells it straight and isn’t politically correct!!!!! Tell it ‘like it is’ concerning illegal immigration, Muslims’ intolerance for anything not Muslim, the breakdown of morality and the tolerance for anything as long as it isn’t virtuous….. Ah, let me get off my soapbox now. I found a kindred spirit and a man who has gumption to ‘tell it straight’, you’ve got to check out his site : http://www.fredoneverything.net
