We have no idea how to replicate anything as incredibly, efficient, portable, and room temperature friendly as petroleum. And that’s why it might happen (green energy) in decades but the idea that if you legislate it, if you want it, if a president wills it, it’s going to happen is absurd.

Look the president for months was speaking about Spain as a great example of a country investing in solar cells, well it’s now about to go under economically, it’s about to go bankrupt. It’s had to shut down all of these government sponsored, money losing programs on solar cells. The reason is, they are not economical, if you compare them with oil or coal or natural gas or nuclear, they simply are not even near. All you can do as you say is to throw trillions of dollars at it to subsidize them. But look, in a free enterprise economy, do you think if there’s anybody who didn’t have an idea that would invent or create or find renewable energy that would be comparable to oil or coal he wouldn’t be at it? Because he would become a trillionaire.

He said nothing except how he was going to punish Americans generally and BP in particular.

He gave no clue that actually stopping the oil spill was any consideration of his, at all. He seems to feel that retribution is formost on the minds of Americans, I guess that is one America’s ‘core values’ he always speaks so highly of.

I think Erick’s got his one-word name for the speech:

Nohow.

Well, it’s a word in Southern, anyway.

Why are they surprised. What did they think voting “present” on all the tough issues said about the man? Didn’t they notice that he’s never stuck around long enough to actually do anything at any job? To Obama, proposing a commission IS action.

He’s Vanna White, smiling and turning around vowels. That’s who he is.

A blood bath for the Dems in November. I hope. This finger-pointing, flap-jawing fool doesn’t have the slightest clue what needs doing, and neither do his cohorts in the Congress or the media.

It was so bad even the ______ didn’t have anything good to say about it.

“The oil spill is not the last crisis America will face. This nation has known hard times before and we will surely know them again. What sees us through – what has always seen us through – is our strength, our resilience, and our unyielding faith that something better awaits us if we summon the courage to reach for it. Tonight, we pray for that courage. We pray for the people of the Gulf. And we pray that a hand may guide us through the storm towards a brighter day. Thank you, God Bless You, and may God Bless the United States of America.”

Call us crazy, but Obama is the storm.

Great Words of Presidential Leadership:

FDR: “We have nothing to fear….”
JFK: “Ask not what your country can do for you….”
Ronald Reagan, America’s greatest modern president: “Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

In contrast to greatness, we now have hussein’s pathetic whine about the disaster in the Gulf: “I can’t suck it up with a straw.”

Thanks to hussein, jimmy carter is now the SECOND WORST president in modern American history.

Is anyone else reminded by Obama’s performance last night, of the lawyer (played by William Devane) in the movie “McCabe and Mrs. Miller”?

John McCabe goes to the lawyer in a desperate effort to find a solution to a life or death threat, and the lawyer gives a great speech about the small business man. McCabe leaves, knowing that he’s going to have to solve his problem himself, in spite of the lawyer’s flowery rhetoric – which is completely useless.
