Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY During the Carter Administration?
Anybody? Anything? No? Didn't think so!
This is the bottom line on the DOE:
We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency ...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.
The actual or stated reason was simple,.....very simple. And at the time everybody thought it very appropriate...The "Department of Energy" was instituted on 4 August 1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????
34 YEARS LATER.....AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY 'WHAT WAS I THINKING?
And Obama doesn't want the Keystone XL pipeline which would not only bring us around 1 million gallons of oil a day, but employ tens of thousands of Americans at a time we need people to be employed.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Obama - Failed Leadership
Even the most strident, blind and hearing impaired Liberal cannot refute the fact that President Obama is mising in action,......where the hell is the President?
More than half way through the Fiscal Year without a Budget;...the national debt climbing at a rate of $4.8 billion doolars day,...sky rocketing fuel prices furthering ruining a ruined economy,......a mad hatter in Libya massacring his own people,.....a bunch of Ayatollah loving madmen in Iran developing Nuclear weapons,.......one of our closet allies (Japan) requesting help,.....and our President is missing.
Well not quite missing, he was afterall photgraphed choosing on the golf course and picking his winners in the NCAA Basketball tournament and side with the budget killing unions in Wisconsin.
Okay, to be fair, around noon three days ago Obama comes out and briefs the U.N. no-fly plan for Libya,…..he had more questions than he could answer…..besides it is not the U.S. leading this effort,....it is the U.N., primarily Britain, France and Italy in the forefront. Everyone is noticing,....the usually reserved British Prime Minister, David Cameron, even could not refrain from voicing his frustrations, criticizing President Obama for his lack of leadership on Libya.
And where is Obama right now? In Brazil loaning money to an oil drilling enterprise that George Soros has interests in. Unbelievable! Obama remains in contept of Federal court for unconstitutional restrictions on Gulf of Mexico oil drilling, while this country wallows in high fuel prices, but has the time (and our money) to fund investments for his leading political campaign funder.
Obama is so in over his head trying to lead not only this country but the free world. What more could go wrong? He is presiding over, and mostly responsible for a terrible economy, 9% unemployment, a reliance on foreign oil, and, a degraded respect for America through the world.
There is a saying,..”Follow, Lead or Get The Hell Out Of The Way!”,...well, we'll just have to take the get the hell our of the way option in 2012.
