Today’s Lie

I was laughing so hard at this whopper I shot some coffee up my nose. Horry clap, who does he think actually believes this rot? Pull the Gulf drilling permits, cancel the Keystone pipeline, forbid any new drilling on federal land, the continued moratorium for ANWR and offshore, billions thrown at useless green alternatives as a way to pay off his financial backers, his impossible mpg mandate to CAFE for cars, the Supertrain to nowhere, the moronic continuation of food based ethanol which wastes billions and has doubled the price of food in 6 years, ... the list is endless. And let’s not forget Transportation Secretary Chu, who is all for $5/gal gas. And the US still does not have one more refinery or nuke reactor than we did in 1973.

President Barack Obama is hitting back at Republican criticism of his energy policies and his role in controlling gasoline prices.

Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to underscore his administration’s work to develop alternative energy sources and increase fuel efficiency.

“I’m going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future,” Obama said. “I hope politicians from both sides of the aisle join me.”

He accused Republicans of a “bumper sticker” approach to solving the nation’s energy problems.

“We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices — not when we consume 20 percent of the world’s oil,” Obama said in the address

After 39 straight days of increases, prices fell nearly a penny from Tuesday to Thursday and held steady on Friday at $3.758 per gallon for the national average. The lull won’t last long, and gas is still nearly 50 cents higher than it was at the beginning of the year.

And this news is from CBS, one of the biggest Obama whores going.

I seem to recall that when we had that huge gas price under Bush, which the media blamed him for 10,000%, (of course Obama gets a free ride; none of this is His fault) and the oil stock prices and corporate profits skyrocketed to the point where they nearly equaled those of the iPad people this year, and the government was condemning speculators, that it all came crashing down when Bush announced that new offshore drilling would commence. Just the word that new supplies were being dug for, not actually delivered at this time, was all it took. And the crude price per barrel dropped like a rock. We went from $4/gal to $1.99 in two weeks it seemed, and the price kept dropping for several months after that. Perhaps the economy going to rack and ruin around the same time had something to do with it, but all these years later the economy doesn’t seem to be doing all that much better, and we’re right back to $4 gas again.

The truth is, Obamba isn’t doing squat to bring down gas prices. He and Chu want them this high, even higher. What else can you believe? Another presidency, and another bunch of years, and still the USA has a self-destructive energy policy. Still. How many times do you need to be kicked in the wallet before you see the reality? The government is not on the people’s side on this. And some in government are actively the people’s enemy on this.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
