More Things that Piss You Off - Dec 20, 2011

Government buys $16 a gallon "green" fuel from Obama's Friend The U.S. Navy bought 450,000 gallons of aviation bio-fuel at $16 a gallon, more than 4 x the cost of conventional fuel, in order to meet the Obama Administration not so hidden agenda of 1 - getting rid of fossil fuels and going "green" no matter what the cost, and 2- driving this country into bankruptcy. This purchase, one of Obama's not letting Congress, nor the Constitution get in his way, is one a par, or worse, than the purchase of $600 toilet seats some decades past.

The lucky company selling the fuel to the Navy is called Solazyme. On the company’s board is T.J. Glauthier, who is a friend of Obama and worked on the energy provisions of the stimulus package, landing Solazyme’s a $21.8 million stimulus grant to build a biofuel refinery.  Current students of history and history books of the future will look back upon the Obama Administration as the single biggest robbery of the treasury in the Nation's history. 

Justice Kagan refusal to recuse herself from Obamacare Suit Supreme Court Justice (almost wrote Jester) Elena Kagan refuses to recuse herself from the suit brought by, what 28 states?, against Obamacare. Under 28 United States Code, Section 455, any member of the Supreme Court is required to recuse himself or herself from “any proceeding in which his [or her] partiality might reasonably be questioned” or if he or she had “expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy … [while serving] in government employment.”

During Kagan's Court confirmation hearings, she replied "No", when asked if she had “ever been asked about her opinion or offered any view or comments concerning the legal or constitutional issues relating to Obamacare, or any legal or constitutional issues related to potential litigation resulting from such legislation.”

Well, we all know that Kagan is a liberal, but now we know her to be at least untruthful, more probably a liar. E-mails obtained by a FOIA request show that Kagan was involved in the preparation of a Justice Department strategy and response to constitutional challenges of Obamacare. So now we have a Supreme Court Justice who worked to protect Obamacare now going to decide the Constitutionality of  this tremendous Socialist burden on American Businesses.
