Gas at $6 a Gallon. Is this change you were hoping for?
Filed under: economy, energy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s official, gas has hit $5.999 in Florida, which for those of you with poor math skills, is $6.
Despite what that lying hack of a White House Press Secretary says, this is a direct result of our Dear Leader’s policies, including his monetary policies.
Just how is that Hopey Changey thing working out for ya?

Obama Sutra – An Illustrated Guide To 57 States of Ecstasy by Stilton Jarlsberg
This book is fornicating histerical! A humorous look at all the problems, screw ups, coverups and flat out incompetance of our Dear Leader explained in terms of doing the nasty!
If you don’t get one of the ‘positions’, don’t worry, at that end of the book he gives the details behind each one.
Obama’s Energy Policy
Filed under: economy, energy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Let’s review our Dear Leader’s Energy Policy.
He killed the Keystone pipeline, killing thousands of jobs and putting America’s energy supply at risk.
He had his eye on Brazilian oil, but it looks like the Communist Chinese are going to be on the fast track to get it.
Obama Forbids Uranium Mining on Federal Lands In Arizona for Next 20 Years
North Dakota Stuck Using More-Costly Railroads to Move Oil. “Right now, about 25% of North Dakota’s oil travels by rail. According to the CBS News report that ‘will increase exponentially with increased oil production and the shortage of pipelines.’”
Our Dear Leader is clearly against any proven technology and isn’t as really into alternate technology as his leftist supporters wish he was. His history with alternate technology more in line with Solyndra, which was much more of a political payoff than a good investment of taxpayer money.
Update: The Obama EPA is shutting down an oil refinery that will likely drive up gas prices in the Northeast. Higher energy prices is a goal of the Obama regime, so no one who has been paying attention should be surprised by this.
Liberal “Logic”

In the fantasy world of the left, crony capitalism under the banner of a jealous Gaia = private equity firms.
Reality never really was their strong point.
Quote of the Day
Obama wasn’t experienced enough to be President. He’s in over his head.
The blue social model is killing Europe and the three states closest to bankruptcy are California, New York, and Illinois.
Anyone who would spend time rationalizing Obama’s failure is as crazy as the guy who was obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus.

FACTCHECK: Obama Campaign Fundraising Still Sluggish
…Obama’s draw, for all his supposed $1 billion campaign, is actually less than President Bush’s in his final election. Remember, back when Bush was supposedly unpopular because of the Iraq War? In the fourth quarter of 2003 the Bush campaign raised almost $48 million. Adjusted for inflation that’s $59 million, a whopping $17 million more than Obama.
Don’t believe the lying media. Obama isn’t inevitable and he’s not a magic money machine.

Quote of the Day
Democrats like to think of themselves as the party of smart people. And over the last four years we have heard countless encomiums, and not just from Democrats, of the intellect and perceptiveness of Barack Obama. But a reading of the text of Obama’s December 6 speech at Osawatomie, Kansas, billed as one of his big speeches of the year, shows him to be something like the opposite.
Even by the standards of campaign rhetoric, this is a shockingly shoddy piece of work. You can start with his intellectually indefensible caricature of Republican philosophy: “We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules.” Or his simple factual inaccuracy: “The wealthiest Americans are paying the lowest taxes in over half a century.” Or his infantile economic analysis, blaming job losses on the invention of the automated teller machine (they’ve been around for more than four decades, Mr. President, and we’ve had lots of job growth during that time) and the Internet.
…
What we have here, it seems a president who has no serious interest in public policy. He has spent nearly half his 15 years in public office running for other public office. The only difference now is that, having run out of higher offices to run for, he is just running for reelection instead. Those who pride themselves on belonging to the party of smart people should be embarrassed.

Here are a few thing that just may have flew under your radar.
Obama is admired by just 4 percent of Middle East Arabs in the new survey released by the Brookings Institution and University of Maryland. I seem to recall the lefties telling everyone that Barack Hussein Obama understood the Muslim world and would improve our standing there. Silly lefties, as TalkStraight correctly summed it up, “[The] Arab World does not admire people they consider weak.”
Our Dear Leader is continuing his version of a “jobs program”, by being on track to kill a potential 120,000 American jobs by stonewalling the Keystone Pipeline Project. Just what does he have against inexpensive, non-oil tanker required, conflict free, oil being available to the American people? It is almost as if he wants higher energy prices, rising inflation and an American economy stuck in a ditch.
Since QE1 and QE2 have been such dismal failures, Obama’s pick to head the Fed,Ben Bernanke, is looking to inflict QE3 on the American people. For those of you who forget just what “Quantitative Easing” is, here is an instructional video.
Chicago democrat, and old Obama buddy Tony Rezko gets a ten and half year prison term for “extorting millions of dollars from firms seeking state business or regulatory approval.” Ya, it does sorta sound like the Obama administration funneling “green investment” money to big democrat donors.
Business & Politics
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Usually not a good mix for conversation, and certainly not a good mix where our Dear Leader is concerned.
His job killing policies are striking home at small businesses, which are usually the engine that drives job growth.
One small business has publicly stated it is in a hiring freeze until Obama is out of office. It’s not that they don’t want to hire, it is just that they can’t afford to between an economy where inflation is double the economic growth and oppressive government regulations drive the cost of doing business up.
Another important indicator is the falling support of blue collar democrats for the President. This was core demographic for him back in 2008. Without their support, his odds in 2012 are being coming even more anorexic.
