1. Obama Administration Continues to Fail on Energy Policy

One would think that one of the primary requirements of energy independence would be having the ability to collect the energy through which one becomes independent by using. Somehow, this logic escapes the Obama administration as evidenced by their “Five-Year Plan.” However, if their goal was to diminish opportunities for energy resources, they’ve done a magnificent job.

It is pretty well established that there is oil in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Arctic. We should drill there until it runs dry and the administration puts forth the appearance that they agree on this point as they have been kind enough to allow additional drilling there. Specifically, they’ve agreed to set up 12 lease auctions in the Gulf and 3 more in the Arctic. Very nice of them but these are known quantities and probably don’t qualify as the savior of energy independence at this point. For that, we’d need to explore new areas. However, true exploration is not on the agenda.

2. Romney hits Obama for cutting $716 billion from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare

The Romney campaign has released a powerful new television ad contrasting the Romney/ Ryan plan, which strengthens Medicare and protects the commitments made to current seniors, against Obama’s $716 billion cuts from Medicare.

3. $20 Million to Inspect Catfish: Zero Catfish Inspected

A few weeks ago I wrote about how the government is doubling up on the ever important Catfish inspection duties by having the USDA inspect catfish at an even greater cost than currently spent by the FDA to do the same thing.

    Hits Nelson and Brown (and by proxy Obama) on the death panels

    yesterday for my meager contributions. Appreciate that.

    Speaking at the Republican National Conventio are:

    Sen. Kelly Ayotte
    Gov. Bobby Jindal
    Rep. and former Obama Campaign Co-Chair Artur Davis (AL)
    Rep. Connie Mack
    Gov. Bob McDonnell
    Sen. Rob Portman

    What does Lieberman think about Davis taking his place? :P

  • commonsenseobserver

    From 12 to 5 points, with the same party identification sample. Ridiculous Dem. advantage of 13 points. Movement came from among independents, and Mitt switched places with Obama to lead by double digits among them. The two have also switched places in some of the regions, and Mitt seems to be losing ground in some red areas.

    I think this poll is nonsense, but we still have a real chance in the Keystone State.

    Really, the lineup was pretty grey. Wasn’t seeing a whole lot of excitement. Was waiting for Demint, Palin, Herman C. Allen West, etc.

    However, as I suspect the O camp will be squirming when Artur takes the stage, his speech should be fun to watch just because the left will want to take pot shots at him afterwards.

    I’d watch Christie but only to see him lose his temper. The man is an absolute riot when hit on by a heckler. Don’t expect a lot of those at our convention though.

    The convention is about rallying the troops around the nominees. Seems like they are ignoring some of their troops.
