A Heartbeat from the Oval Office
Joe Biden, our current Vice-President and the anti-Dick Cheney, has managed to prove his level of competence once again.
Yup, this guy is more of a bullet proof vest than Dan Quayle ever was.

Inserting reality into Obama’s spin on Solyndra
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, energy, Obama Economy, Obamaspeak, Our Dear Leader, Politics
“It is true that “Republicans and Democrats” approved a green energy loan guarantee program. But “Republicans and Democrats” did not approve this loan guarantee program. As FactCheck.org reminds us, the program under which Solyndra was handed $500 million in taxpayer money was authorized in the Obama/Reid/Pelosi partisan “stimulus” bill of 2009. Zero House Republicans voted for that law. Also, a previous Solyndra loan application was explicitly rejected by Bush-era actuaries because of its inherent soundness problems. Some of Obama’s bookkeepers continued to warn against its approval, but they were overruled by the White House political team because the president’s allies were determined to make the company the “poster child” of his green vision. That’s also why Obama ignored internal worries and held a big presidential photo-op at Solyndra’s (now-defunct) factory. The list goes on: Obama DOE officials sat in on Solyndra board meetings. One of Solyndra’s top investors, George Kaiser — who just happened to be a major Obama campaign donor — also just happened to make a flurry of White House visits right before the doomed loan was given the thumbs-up. Kaiser and the White House claimed they didn’t discuss Solyndra during those meetings. They lied. We also know that even after Solyndra defaulted on its initial loan, Obama’s Energy Department conveniently restructured the loan terms, assuring that investors like George Kaiser would be first in line to get paid if (when) the company went belly-up. Obama owns this mess, and he knows it. But he’s obfuscating and dissembling to save his own skin.”

Danish Broadcasting Corporation Show Host Analyzes Obama’s Rhetoric
Given his Harvard Law Degree, he should notice that his speech writers have gotten really, really lazy.
It also could be that he has noticed, but just doesn’t care. Our Dear Leader is probably more worried about when his next golf game is coming up.
Quote of the Day
“Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples’ money,
except when it comes to questions of national survival when they
prefer to be generous with other people’s freedom and security.”
William F. Buckley Jr, 1925-2008
Quote of the Day
“Call me weird, but if Texans have to brandish an ID to buy cigarettes or beer, coach a youth football team, see an R-rated movie, cash a check, buy Sudafed or spray paint, pick up their children from school early, rent a video, open up a P.O. Box, pick up tickets at will call for a Bon Jovi concert, or rent a kayak to float down the Guadalupe then I don’t think it is too much to ask that a person who waddles up to a voting booth to elect our next president prove that he or she is here legally. Voting is a sacred honor for legal citizens, and I pray to all that is holy that Texans fight Holder and his boss’s overreach into state voting laws like a pit bull.”
Can we learn from history?

First, let’s review a post I made back in July 2008:
Oil down, dollar up since Bush rescinded drilling restrictions
Remember the leftist mantra about how “if we started drilling now, it wouldn’t effect prices for 10 years.” Well, they got that wrong too, just like Barak Obama’s predictions about the Troop Surge in Iraq. 100%, flat out wrong again. Yes, there is a pattern here.
Then, lets review the current President’s energy policy of restricting domestic energy production and the results of those polices, i.e. steadily rising gas prices and the dollar losing value.
I’m pretty sure those lefties who called GW Bush “the worst President ever” got it seriously wrong. Our Dear Leader has clearly claimed that title.
Quote of the Day
“While the vandals are on the street corners, the Tea Party conservatives they’re working state houses, the governorships, the mayorships, the Senate, the House. See, they understand, they’ve read the Constitution. If you want to make a difference, don’t go break windows, okay? Break some phony arguments that things like austerity are going to put you in the hole. What put you in the hole is borrowing 38 cents of every dollar you spent. That’s what put you in the hole, pure and simple. Everything else is political spin.”
