Allan West (R-FL) on Obama's Failed Energy Policy

Yahoo posted an article about Congressman Allen West complaining about Obama's failed energy policy, but entitled it "Representative's West Ironic Complaint About Fuel Prices". It seems this article took issue with Congressman West filling up a 2008 Hummer H3 that performed with 16-18 mpg.

In light of the failed electrical vehicles such as the Volt and given our huge, untapped natural fossil fuel reserves, what the heck are our alternatives?  It certainly ain't alternative energy - at least not in this decade! 

I sure wish my trucks got as good as fuel mileage!! West paid $70 for a fillup, which is considerabley less than what I pay to fill up my Super Duty.

Rep. West's statement is as follows:

"People have asked me before is there any area where I could praise President Obama? Certainly, he has an impeccable penchant for understanding the power of the bully pulpit. President Obama is also very adept at promulgating deceptive language masquerading as policy, actually just insidious political gimmickry. This "tax policy" is an example as well as today's speech on his "energy policy" shall be. Here is the bottom line, last night it took 70 dollars to fill the tank of my 2008 H3 Hummer,
what is it costing you? What does it cost the President to fill his gas tank?"

The article went to allude that Congressman West's was drawing negative attention. They said "attention". I say their intent was to make it seem like "negative attention" while the vast majority of the comments were neutral or said that gas prices were too high and the Administration wasn't doing anything about it.

Can't fool all the people, all the time. That's a good thing for Democrats to remember. If they don't we the people will remind them come November.

Rush Limbaugh's Slur and the Rest of the Story

Everyone has heard about Rush Limbaugh insulting the young Georgetown law student, Sandra Fluke, after her testimony to Congress about the implications and effects on students, mostly women, not having contraceptives included in their student health plans. Well, Rush is a big idiot who runs his mouth. Even though he takes up conservative causes, he is someone I do not listen to at all. I just can't stand his
tone of voice or his rethoric.

But what is being lost in the whole "Rush called her a slut" news event, if the actual testimony from Sandra Fluke. Warning - this is not going to be politically correct! But I'm a tax payer and I'm damn mad!

She, Sandra, has seen the "emotional, mental and physical" toll that lack of contraceptive care has on the women of Georgetown. She say's that without insurance, contraceptives can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. She goes on to say that (the costs) is "practically an entire summer's salary." Fluke also reports that 40% of the Georgetown women say they "struggle financially" due to the burden of providing their own contraceptives.

Wow,....it just breaks my heart that students, women in particulary, are getting the short end of stick because the Government, previous to Obama unconstitutional directive, failed in a so-damn-hard-hearted manner to provide women with a tool to live their lives in a chosen manner. I am not alleging excessive prosmicuity for these Georgetown co-eds, it's just amazing how far this Country has fallen to have our adult children, being educated in our best institutions, think they are entitled to have the rest of us taxpayers fund their lifestyle. How dare you Sandra Fluke!

I don't know what made me sicker,......listening to a young American think the trest of the country owed her,..or seeing Nancy Pelosi's face close up.

Obama and the Volt - The Funniest Thing This Week

On Tuesday, President Obama at a United Auto Workers conference, siad that he would buy a Chevy Volt after he left office. Obama's exact words were: “Five years from now, when I’m not president any more, I’ll buy one and drive it myself.” Obama was at the conference to cater to one of his core constituencies, Unions, and really spun the facts as to the effects of the taxpayer funded bailout of General Motors, which was really just a bailout of the union.



What's so funny about this? Just a day after Obama's speech, GM announced that they were suspending Volt production and laying off something like 1,300 workers. Talk about embarassing!! At least it would be embarassing to anyone else. But I think Obama was born without the ability feel shame and he deals with those pesky little embarassing moments by blaming someone, usually Bush, for America's troubles.

Remember Obama's goals of seeing a million electric cars on the road by 2015? Well, he is certainly on his way to meeting that goal with the 9,000 Volts that have been sold....only 900,000 some odd to go!

One more thing Mr President,.........you won't have to wait five years to buy one. You'll be needing your own transportation come January 2013 when you leave the White House. Unless of course you have to take public transportation since your driver's license went the same way as you and your wife's law license's,......revoked.

The image of President Obama sitting in a Chevy Volt is priceless. Obama and that failed unit is a metaphor for his presidency.
