New Deepwater Oil Reserves

Posted on September 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

In the Gulf. Question is, when oil is being extracted, will it be ours – or sold to some other country? And, how many resuscitated jobs will be developed?
So far, no answers to those questions yet. But the fascinating thing here is – this discovery was made as a result of recent work on an existing well that was halted over one year ago.

Imagine what our economy, jobs picture and fuel prices could have been – had it not been halted by this administration?

Bully In Chief At It Again

Posted on September 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

And now, before his upcoming Thursday speech on a jobs bill, our President has a message for the Republicans in Congress.

“We’re going to see if we’ve got some straight-shooters in Congress,” Obama said. “We’re going to see if congressional Republicans will put country before party.”

The president said that the time is now for Washington to work together to deal with the economic crisis, and not spend time on a “manufactured crisis” like the debt-ceiling debate. “The time for Washington games is over,” Obama said.

He thinks it’s a doozy. I wonder, who wrote it. Again we have an instance where this man seems to think he is acting presidential with his tactics.

Tiresome. And hardly seen as mature. He has obviously no intention of working with Republicans. That has been clear for quite some time, and now repeats that mantra.

Oh, President Obama? You’re repeating the need for roads & bridges rework in this message now, yes? It seems you said the purpose of that $787B stimulus was supposed to do exactly that, didn’t you? But where did that money go?

Remember in November 2012.

Most definitely.

The Tea Party responds.

She can go straight …. home. And don’t come back.

Let’s see what else she has said:

Threatens to nationalize Oil Compmanies.

Covering up the Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac Scam.

EXXON Fighting Oil Killers

Posted on August 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here. In the Gulf of Mexico. Our own regulators killed EXXON’s attempt to drill in the largest oil field of over a billion gallons discovered in 2007.
h/t Hot Air.

Per Investors Business Daily:

The Exxon discovery is the biggest in a decade. If put into operation, its billion barrels will be enough to make a dent in America’s oil dependency on foreign tyrants. If that isn’t a sufficient national security reason, what is?

Not to mention our thousands of jobs lost in the Gulf Coast area and beyond, revenues to the government funds lost, economic devastation, more funds lost to overseas oil companies, our oil rigs lost to other countries, etc., etc. etc.

Now what was that quote by candidate Barak Obama? Oh, yeah:
“Under my plan, electrical energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.”

Apparently, it isn’t just coal that provides energy, now is it?

He’s Full Of It

Posted on August 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) at a town hall event in New Jersey in the middle of this week let it be known that he wants to eliminate the rich.
And how wealthy is this 87 year old?
“… he is worth an estimated $50 million …”

Seventh richest D.C. Lawmaker.

Now, do you honestly think this man is telling you the truth? Think he would give up his wealth willingly? What a hypocrite.

And We Thought The Fuel Cost Was Bad

Posted on August 12, 2011 | 1 comment

Now, the POTUS wants higher fuel efficiency on bigger, diesel, delivery trucks.

Guess how long that would take, how many drivers will no longer afford the newer trucks, how much higher delivery costs will be (fewer trucks), how much higher food prices and dry goods costs there will be?

And we thought it was rough now. You haven’t seen anything yet.

Just like what Jazz Shaw said in his Hot Air article, “didn’t the president just stand up at a battery factory someplace and tell us that his renewed focus was not only on jobs but on repairing the tanking national economy?”

This is but one recent example demonstrating that whatever the POTUS says one day, is cancelled out by his actions the next. Or made even worse.

You remember that Caterpillar (heavy equipment) manufacturer that BO spoke and delivered stimulus money to, yes? You know they finally closed up shop, right?

Oh yeah, the hands of AllState he hasn’t got.

More Government Infringement On Farmers

Posted on August 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Not only is it absurd, will this be the straw that breaks the farmers backs?

While driving more out of farming and growing ever more expensive food, if any, for the masses? You know, us?

What’s next? Taxing pitchforks out of existence?

STOP THE PRESSES ! Well, somebody has a head on their shoulders, thank goodness. The idea of having farmers take a CDL driver’s test is now nixed.

Under Serious Postal Stress

Posted on August 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

That’s USPS, for short.

Speaking of short, the US Post Office is now considering having Congress to let them restructure, which, if approved, would eliminate contract provisions that prevent layoffs and quit the federal employee health and retirement programs. This could have serious ramifications for workers across the government and throughout the labor movement. This opens the door for the USPS to cut around twenty percent of its worrkforce, in an effort to deal with its financial hardships. (Hhhmm, sounds like Wisconsin.)

(Wasn’t there rumblings of shortening mail deliveries to just Monday through Friday awhile back? What happened with that? Not a big enough change?)

The unoffical creed – “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” – that people think is official, it’s not.
Will likely change as well I would think.

Anybody want to suggest a new one??
