The windmills of Obama's mind

Lisa Richards

As Nancy Pelosi prepares to save the world from people who drive cars, Barry Obama continues to dodge John McCain’s challenge to town hall debates for reasons more crucial than answering legit questions The Articulator can’t answer: Americans are paying too much at the pump because they refuse to inflate their tires, build windmills and homes like Al Gore’s.

After Barry Obama told Americans they could save energy and oil by “making sure your tires are properly inflated… and get regular tune-ups…” (this is something no American has ever heard of nor done), the ever changing Messiah told the people of Lansing, Michigan that if he is elected president all American cars will once again be made in Michigan. And the majority of those cars will be electric plug-in hybrid vehicles. Obama failed to explain to his beloved flock of sheep being slaughtered where that electricity gets its energy: it’s not nuclear power; its electrical power fueled by oil America is forbidden to drill.

Despite his insistence Michigan become the state of “green collar workers,” Barry O declared the 68 million acres of land leased by the federal government for Strategic Oil Reserves should be drilled on: Obama demanded he would make the government “use it [the land] or lose it.” Never once did Obama explain Strategic Oil Reserves are set up for national emergencies such as war.

Gas prices may be high, but high gas prices fail to stop Americans from driving and heating their homes despite Democrat’s desire for Americans to ride bikes and hitch buggies. No crisis exists that would depend upon oil reserves being open unless Obama is elected and Iran becomes sacred ground against Republicans and Israelis.

To use Strategic Reserves the U.S. would have to drill those 68 million acres of land. That’s acceptable with Obama and Nancy as long as the U.S. never drills near a polar bear or shark. If only we could get those nasty beasts to attack an Eskimo, we could declare a race-based war against indigenous people and drill in ANWR.

For added punishment Obama says he will force oil companies to drill on those “untapped acres” while adding a $15 billion a year tax hike on oil companies like Exxon that made $15,000 dollars per minute in its last quarter. Of course Obama neglected to tell the crowd that Exxon paid $35 billion dollars in taxes for 2007 (half their earnings) because they are the highest earning corporation in the U.S.

Exxon hands over half its earnings to the federal government who spend the taxed money on pork projects that raise the national debt. The more money made, the more taxes paid. That law was set up by Democrats who believe in punishing the wealthy for the audacity of earning money. Obama’s August 4, 2008 speech insinuated that Exxon, its executives and employees earn everything tax free.

Obama further declared that all “the oil drilled in the U.S. does not belong to America.” Well he’s right on that comment since we will be giving our Florida shores to China for drilling. Our southern oil will belong to China along with U.S. manufacturing jobs.It’s perfectly fine for China to invade Florida’s continental shelf and take the oil; it is destructive to the beaches if America implements such a Machiavellian plan.

Obama blamed America for high oil prices (gasoline is priced higher in Europe where cars are Diesel fueled); Obama blamed America for pollution despite the fact America has cleaned up the environment over the past 20 years while China creates chemical warfare on U.S. athletes; climate change is also America’s fault: the climate never changed throughout history until Republicans took over the House and Senate during the Clinton/Gore years. Obama insisted America should be more like France and Spain when it comes to saving energy. In that case America should be allowed to build nuclear plants Democrats don’t want built despite the fact France has proven nuclear energy is cheap, clean, efficient, and safe. But that might hurt Nancy Pelosi’s plan to save Al Gore’s planet Obama has returned to.

The savior of senselessness switched back and forth on his gospel by asserting the U.S. should not waste time drilling for oil when a new Manhattan Project would make the U.S. energy independent. In that case the United States should test a new Atomic Bomb on Saudi Arabia and then confiscate every ounce of Saudi oil after the evaporation is complete.

For a man who speaks so intellectually, Obama never says anything, nor gives an actual working plan. He declares a need for drilling while insisting drilling will not solve oil problems Democrats created by not letting Bush drill eight years ago. By now there would be U.S. oil on U.S. shores. Obama alleges the U.S. should go nuclear while claiming nuclear power will not solve any energy crisis. Obama’s plan is for a “Green Collar” sector: people who build those fabulous European-style bumper cars one must plug into a wall in one’s garage in order to drive. That is if one can actually fit into something built for children under five. Again, that electrical energy powering embarrassing cars must be powered by something.

No matter what Democrats insist America can not run completely oil-free. Democrats know this or they wouldn’t invest in oil companies making them fortunes while castigating the hand that makes them wealthy. But stating otherwise would stop the continuation of indebted people Democrats need to keep them in power while they let their Exxon stock roll over and grow. If the Messiah wins the election perhaps he will turn water into oil and save the planet from those awful Republican drillers who believe we should no longer keep the Saudi Royal family in luxury.
