Gold, Oil, & Politics

1A American Security. Obama keeps on again and again increasing the motivation of terrorists and at the same time taking away all chance of America getting high level intel that would help America prevent the next 9-11. Obama is the Biggest Threat to America of any war -or any action -in the History of America. Obama says Liberals Control My Decisions First, and American Security Comes Last. You want proof? Releasing pictures and confidential security information that took place during a time of war -not to mention the US is still in a time of war -demonstrates the very sick anti-American obama superiority ego. These pictures will be plastered in every foreign country and every terrorist group as motivation to kill Americans.
  How can a US president have a conversation in a top secret format, or intelligence gathering take place in foreign countries -when there is no ability to gather information in secrecy? Obama has made intelligence gathering impossible with his cowardly acts of political leftist ego.
  Obama should be impeached, -he has no sense at all of what is required for the security of America and the American military.
1B 20090508 Unemployment hits 25 year high at 8.9%, job loss in April is 539,000 private jobs and a gain of 72,000 gov jobs. There you have the obama America future: private job loss killing the American economy -while obama, the democrats, and even a number of republicans vote for bigger gov control and ownership. These anti-American big gov thugs need to be voted out of office.
 Obama is going to spend the next 4 years looking for profits in private enterprise and then taxing those in the very sick belief that gov can do everything better.
1C Secret Ballot. The obama dem lie machine named their pet “paid for by unions” payoff the “Free Choice Act”. What a bunch of lying anti-American thugs. The Free Choice Act does away with the secret ballot for unions. A secret ballot for a union vote is as constitutional and American as dumping tea to fight a big bully gov.
2 Arrogance of $1Trillion spendulus for pork, payback, and gov jobs.
3 $3.5Trillion budget loaded with pork, payback, gov jobs, taxes on American corporations, more gov control and ownership, fine print, throwing money at health and education with no improvements, and so on.
4 Obama energy ignorance on American Natural Gas. Mr President Obama, WHY NOT USE AN AMERICAN RESOURCE -NATURAL GAS to produce energy in America? American energy got us 200 years of prosperity leading the world. America has natural gas and it is lying for political gain to not make natural gas the fuel of choice to power large commercial trucks reducing emissions by 80% without using imported crude oil (70% of diesel fuel is made from imported crude oil).
5 Obama energy lie on Off-shore Drilling. During the campaign, obama says offshore drilling is necessary -now obama wants to raise taxes and otherwise get in the way of AMERICAN oil and gas.
6 Auto sales up 25% in China 20090508 because they had a real stimulus that created real jobs instead of temporary tax credits, gov jobs, and union windfalls.
7 Stress tests. Stress tests are the job requirement of the fed and gov regulators. Where have they been the last 25 years? I don’t like the planned leaks by gov to special left media so  they can use the insider information to make a lot of money.
8 Obama energy lie on Nuclear Power. During the campaign obama said nuclear was necessary. A real American president would be fast tracking 50 nuclear plants to insure American energy independence in the future. You would think the green leftists would be in favor of a proven non-polluting energy source; but the green leftists are a whole lot more anti-American than green.
9 Obama supporters. repowerAmerica_org is a leader in the leftists brainwashing of the American public -their every 15min advertisement bashing big oil and gas as evil is one of the bigger lies ever crammed down the American public. American oil and gas made the USA the world leader for 200 years; and the hypocritical jerks of repoweramerica_org have no facts, no solutions, and end up jumping in their 500hp 8mpg cab behind 4×4 pickup truck to drive around town.
 If you woke up this morning, -everything you see was made from and transported by fossil fuel.
10 Obama energy lie on Wind. Obama says he is developing wind power; -but only allotted about $1Billion of the $100Billion required for the electric grid and wind farms. Even 40Billion in partnership with private enterprise would have got America well on it’s way. Also, fast tracking with gov help, private wind farms off the Atlantic coast and other areas is a must to get America into large scale wind generation.
11 Obama lie on developing Clean Coal Technology. Obama is trying to tax American coal plants -this could double and triple the cost of energy in America for All Americans and All American business. Mr President Obama, what are you going to run electric cars off of? WHY NOT USE AN AMERICAN RESOURCE -COAL to produce energy in America? Don’t give us this Save The Climate Crap -when the rest of world is building 200 plants for every 1 America is building -the answer if finding ways to keep on improving the air thru technology -such as gasification of coal.
12 New York fly by with the Air Force 1 and a fighter jet without telling New York is just one more example of the obama administration arrogance.
13 Obama acts as a dictator bypassing the Rule of law, -and the obama payback to the uaw. Obama makes patriot speech on standing by uaw, and pointing out the bondholders as anti-American. NO! The THEATRE of obama bashing bondholders wanting them to take 5 or 10% on the dollar is such BS. Everyone knows the problems, the inability to compete, the debt, …, of GM is entirely due to the gold plated benefits created by the uaw -gold plated benefits no-one else in America gets -except politicians.
Obama is acting as an anti-American dictator: AFTER giving the UAW tens of Billions of dollars, firing of Rick Wagner, forcing Chrysler to merge with one of the worst carmakers in the world -Fiat, white house directing the uaw to end up as the owner of Chrysler, and on and on. Folks, there are car makers all over America that are successful without the type of arrogant  criminal gov involvment of obama sending gov dollars and power to the uaw.
14 Health Care. Wal-Mart has done more to help the common man with health care than anything obama will ever do. Wal-Mart set the gold bar with many $4 prescription drugs and continues to leader in health care reform. There is no such thing as lowering costs with universal health care or free health care -this is one of the bigger lies of our time. The co-pays will always be there, and the cost of the best doctors and the best health care will continue to spiral upward. Gov fixing health care is like buying gov peanut butter vs peanut butter from Smuckers, -which would you buy? But it is a leftist popular vote getter; and that, after all, is the ONLY concern of this obama gang. Health care reform has to be an on-going joint effort of private and gov thru committees with equal representation -Health care policy has no place in the hands of self-serving lying politicians.
15 Obama on unions. $Billions of taxpayer money thrown at unions as payback for campaign contributions. This is CORRUPTION  when president obama and the union have become a dictatorship in America using American tax money to make all of America either a gov job, gov controlled job, and ALL a union job. The unions prevent education reform such as replacing summer school with semesters with 2 week breaks, graduating kids from high school at 16 -if kids can be on drugs, drive, get married, get pregnant, etc. by 16 -they at least deserve a high school education. Kids learn quicker today due to technology, -America can stay asleep, or educate our kids to compete in a global world. Obama dems being against world trade does not chage the fact that EVERY job is dependent on foreign trade -technology; oil and gas price from which everything is made; coal price;  nuclear power development; etc. This union lovefest by the obama left is obviously a power play for dictatorship and gov control by obama and dems.
16 Stephen Friedman, chairman of the fed reserve, stepped down due to obama leftist pressure. Very anti-American for fast money karen finnerman to be having an outrage over the number of Goldman Sachs employees in public service. In Every case that I know of -guys like Paulsen gave up a career and a lot of investments to take in public service -only to find out the moron self-serving politicians don’t care about hearing the truth. The point is -there are few acts more American than giving up a stellar private career to serve America in Washington. We would all be better off if half of the Washington pay was based on performance of American companies on values such as the dividends they are able to pay.
17 Gun laws to fingerprint, register, … every gun in America.
18 Chrysler to merge with Fiat to save American jobs. Does that make sense to you?
19 Obama money thrown at Education. Instead of elimination of summer school and kids graduate high school at 16 to catch education up with the responsibility and knowledge of kids today!! School would be made up of 2 month semesters with a 2 week vacation; with special programs for those kids wanting to work while getting an education. Money thrown at education should be priortized to benefit America (as well as income, global heath, and welfare): doctors, engineers, medical research, and other professionals.
20 UAW taking over ownership of Chrysler. Just anti-American obama ties to unions at work. You can’t buy this prez.
21 Obama taking control of credit cards dictating interest rates. This gov interference is what caused the financial crisis in the first place. Even from the leftist camp: check out Times/CNN top 25 responsible for the financial meltdown. But obama dems blame the Bush last 8 years, the obama dems are lying -and they know it.
22 Obama Corn Ethanol for votes: Corn Ethanol wastes resources, inflates food supply, requires additional foreign crude for fertilizer, lowers car performance, ….
23 Raising taxes on corporations bringing money back to the US from foreign countries: Will result in this money staying in foreign countries, and America will not have the incoming money creating American jobs and increasing the velocity effect of money in the US. Just how hard will it be for a company to create a new company in that foreign country where zero money comes back to the US? Obama dems and a few republicans are both lying and ignorant.
24 Playing shell games with corporate tax -when corporate tax should be lowered to at least match the lower foreign tax rates that American Biz has to compete with.
25 Additional taxing for American oil and gas, coal, and other American resources will just create More imported crude oil and increased energy costs for all Americans and American Business.
26 Obama re-writing Contract Law on mortgages so folks that don’t pay get Windfall Gov Money from those that keep up their mortgages and pay taxes.
27 Obama claims to save a few hundred million: 300M is only 1/100 of 1% of the obama 3.5 $Trillion dollar budget.
28 Obama lied on opening up oil and gas exploration off-shore. America must open up oil and gas exploration on-shore as well to achieve the best production and environmental impact and national security. Having 1/3 of our petroleum tied to a pipe going in the Gulf of Mexico is not good.
29 Obama lied on nuclear. A real American president would be fast tracking 50 nuclear plants to guarantee the future of America as energy independent.
30 Obama hates our allies and friends such as Columbia. obama too often plays the arrogant populist with the false statement that trade with foreign countries keeps jobs in America.
31 Meaningful

 You say Prove It!
 OK, they bash oil and gas companies. Fact is oil and gas companies account for EVERY job in America with ALL transportation, ALL manufacturing of material, ALL research and development, ALL food –especially ALL fertilizer, …
 RepowerAmerica has NO solutions. The reality is we need All the clean energy that can be mustered; but in the year 2009 there is NO replacement to fossil fuel.
 Well, wait Nuclear is a valid proven option –obama is not fast tracking 50 nuclear plants as a REAL president would have, -in fact obama fights nuclear every step of the way.
 But wait, wind is an option via the Boone Pickens plan. NO, obama only provide Phony Speech Money of 2% of the $100 Billion required for building the Smart Grid required for Wind Generation.
 But wait, natural gas in commercial vehicles is a proven option to use a fuel we have in the US. No, obama pelosi reid schumer are just plain ignorant on energy.
 But wait, ethanol can be subsidized at 50% and put in our gasoline. Yes corn ethanol under obama pelosi is a vote getter –so corn ethanol gets your tax money to support using food and fertilizer to buy votes for obama pelosi.
 America could save 30% on gasoline by dropping the import tax on Brazil ethanol, or making ethanol from non-food crops that don’t require crude oil for fertilizer –obama hates trade with foreign countries.
 So there you have it: 95% of all American energy comes from fossil, nuclear, and hydro; and obama wants to tax American oil and gas, and American coal –making it IMPOSSIBLE for America to sustain it’s own economy –much less compete in a global fight for survival.
 And obama pelosi schumer reid, -well EVERY DAMN DEMOCRAT, voted for the $Trillion dollar spendulus which had nothing in it to attack the problem with the American economy: JOBS –That is: Private Enterprise Jobs –the spendulus did create and power a lot of government jobs and give windfalls to unions for payback.
 The bottom line is Energy drives the American economy; and there is no proven energy solution in the damn lies of the repowerAmerica_org attack on oil and gas. For some very sick reason, repowerAmerica_org continues to attack the resources that American has in abundance: natural gas and coal.
 America is the only country in the world not developing all the oil and gas and nuclear and coal that it can develop –along with clean power. If you think you are making a cleaner climate by America building 1 coal plant for every 200 coal plants being built outside America; -you sir –are an ignorant fool. To fund research to burn coal cleaner and cleaner as time goes by makes sense to real Americans –since America has coal. To fuel commercial vehicles off of natural gas makes sense to real Americans –since America has an abundance of natural gas. To build nuclear makes sense –zero environmental impact. To build wind makes sense –zero environmental impact.
 Obama makes a cool speech on reducing imported energy –folks, obama is lying to you –taxing American resources is only killing American jobs and our future. All of the gains in the US economy in 2009 are due to fed policy –such as lowering real estate loan rates. The bad news is the obama spendulus $Trillion dollars and the obama $3.5Trillion dollar budget are obviously focused on bigger gov power and control -based on arrogance, political power, and energy ignorance.     JayR

  [Judging by Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress who were informed at the time, the answer seems to be yes. In December 2007, after a report in The Post that she had knowledge of these procedures and did not object, she admitted that she'd been "briefed on interrogation techniques the administration was considering using in the future."
  Today Pelosi protests "we were not -- I repeat -- were not told that waterboarding or any other of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used." She imagines that this distinction between past and present, Clintonian in its parsing, is exonerating.
  On the contrary. It is self-indicting. If you are told about torture that has already occurred, you might justify silence on the grounds that what's done is done and you are simply being used in a post-facto exercise to cover the CIA's rear end. The time to protest torture, if you really are as outraged as you now pretend to be, is when the CIA tells you what it is planning to do "in the future."
  But Pelosi did nothing. No protest. No move to cut off funding. No letter to the president or the CIA chief or anyone else saying "Don't do it."
  On the contrary, notes Porter Goss, then chairman of the House intelligence committee: The members briefed on these techniques did not just refrain from objecting, "on a bipartisan basis, we asked if the CIA needed more support from Congress to carry out its mission against al-Qaeda."
  More support, mind you. Which makes the current spectacle of self-righteous condemnation not just cowardly but hollow. It is one thing to have disagreed at the time and said so. It is utterly contemptible, however, to have been silent then and to rise now "on a bright, sunny, safe day in April 2009" (the words are Blair's) to excoriate those who kept us safe these harrowing last eight years.]
  The [above] pretty much gives you the obama vision of continuing whatever is required to change America to a country with NO ability to maintain security -and continue the march of the obama big gov power obsession. Obama says The Left First, -People Last.  The link to the full article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/30/AR2009043003108.html?hpid=opinionsbox1              JayR

 UAW to get 55% ownership of Chrysler -obama using his power to payback the UAW for their political contributions to his getting elected; and then publicly trashing bondholders as anti-American.
 Obama is trying to cut off bondholders from even having their say in court -getting 5 cents on the dollar is an insult to anyone in a rational court of opinion or law. obama twisting the law and making up new laws everyday to put a union in power over a company -and not allow bondholders representation is a sick direction for America to be going.
 One more time: obama says unions and gov first, -private enterprise business and the rule of law last.
 There is your direction, America. Get the obama union into Wal-Mart by doing away with the secret ballot; and then why not just let the unions own Wal-Mart or any other business? Makes sense. There could be some investors that realize investing in America by corporate bonds is a bad idea –if you are dealing with a union company –you may end up with 5 cents on the dollar as long as the obama union is in charge of America.
 One more time: Financial meltdown was not the banks –it was the law under Clinton to not regulate, -it was hundreds of politicians and regulators asleep at the wheel for the last 20 years.
 One more time: Taxpayer money to banks may have made sense –as America has to have a financial system. Taxpayer money to the big three makes NO SENSE –America does not have to buy a new car –esp from the big 3 that have had a cancerous UAW on their back for decades. I wish all of the big 3 money would have gone to the new American companies that are just getting started; or to Ford that must have worked out a reasonable deal with their union contracts; or even foreign automakers that have factories in America that are turning out great cars. But wait, those are in republican states; -and obama is about growing his power base where the most electoral votes are.
 I wish there was a place that we could turn to get good news reporting; but America does not even remember that it was free enterprise capitalism that got us here; not lying anti-American politicians looking for power and control of America.    JayR
