OBAMA is a nitwit! OBAMA IS DRAGGING HIS FEET--FROM DAY 1. BP CHAIRMAN ON THE TV TODAY--ASSURING EVERYONE EVERTHING WILL BE DONE--SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING! BP, OBAMA, MEDIA, EVERYONE IS MILKING THIS DISASTER.

BP ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT BP HAS STOPPED PAYING SHAREHOLDER DIVIDENDS--THIS IS AFTER THEY JUST PAID MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS A WEEK OR TWO AGO.

THIS IS WORLD WAR III AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY SHOULD OF BEEN HANDLING IT FROM DAY 1!

p.S. DID THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SECRETLY KNOW THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD ALL THIS OIL IN THE GULF, AND ARTIFICIALLY KEPT PRICES HIGH

WITH oil from 'SAUDIE AMERICA'

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MOSLEM OBAMA?

WHY DID MOSLEM OBAMA KISS THEIR RINGS AND BOW? AND AVOID VISITING THE GRAVES OF FALLEN AMERICANS IN FRANCE?

WHY DID MOSLEM OBAMA DO NOTHING FOR SO LONG WITH THIS GULF DISASTER? and relatively is still doing as little as possible, except doling out money? WHY ISN'T THE MILITARY CALLED IN TO EXPEDITE THE HANDLING OF THIS DEBACLE?

I'm sure the President has a plan. He iterated as much in his speech. So, if it turns out he actually DOESN'T have a plan, he would be a liar. And that would make him no different than any other politician this increasingly stupid country has elected to the highest office in all the land. And all the birthers and wingnuts can find solace in the fact that we elected, as always, a politician and not some foreigner bent on destroying America.

He's clueless=plan-the only plan this guy has is to bankrupt American

.. While its 'NOT Obamas fault' and he cant plug the hole, he and the adminstration has been very sloooo and turned DOWN help from other nations and other oil rigs and companies to cleanup the mess!!

.. Obama and his administration are looking like they are over there head more and more in day to day activities/governing and there inept POLICIES!!

OBAMA HAS THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE--MORE WORRED ABOUT THE VICTIMS,
RATHER THAN STOPPING THE OIL LEAK.

BP Chief, "We care about the small people." SINCE WHEN? B.S. The BP
Chief looks like he is suffering. Yah! ha! ha! He "wants his life
back." "Only the small people pay taxes. An Ace is an Ace. THE
TRUTH!

Today(hypothetically), Wall Street is bailed out on the taxpayer, but
the government of the SO-CALLED people can't bail out the hospitals,
health care, energy tax, ETC.

THE GOVERNMENT IS TOO GREEDY!

The cops in Seattle go over the top and punch a kid for jaywalking.
All Americans are treated as TERRORISTS, Americans are suppose to be
in a FREE COUNTRY.

Guess the cop was just conditioning the kid to such up and shut
up--the new freedom of speech in a so called free country where
everyone walks on glass.


The kids are the last vestige of freedom of speech, who have the guts
to speak up. Most Americans are screwed if you do and screwed if you
don't, unless of course, you have a large bank account, and you are
automatically taken care of.

THE GOVERNMENT--"I'M HERE TO HELP," AND THE MONEY IS JUST PISSED AWAY
SOMEWHERE(?).

IT IS SHINING THROUGH AGAIN, OBAMA IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, and his
first priority in this oil debacle in the Gulf IS TO DOLE OUT GOVERNMENT MONEY TO THE VICTIMS. THE CART IS BEFORE THE HORSE.

Bottom line, the President Obama is not the only one who runs this
country--THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER AND IT IS TIME TO USE IT WITH OR
WITHOUT CONGRESS AND SHOW THESE PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO THEY WORK FOR--THE
PEOPLE--NOT THEMSELVES AND LARGE CORPORATIONS.

The BP Oil Disaster -
Big Government’s Dream Come True:

June 17, 2010

If you thought President Obama’s address to the nation this week would have focused on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that is destroying the Gulf Coast economy, you would have been only partially correct. The president did mention what he called the “menacing cloud of black crude,” but the heart of his remarks was a political speech that attacked the president’s political enemies while pushing for a stock “green” agenda, including cap-and-trade legislation, that had no obvious connection to the menace in the Gulf Coast. What was supposed to be a leveling with the American people about the oil crisis became an impromptu pitch for Big Government.

The president’s political feint, while disappointing to anyone who was hoping for solutions to contain the ongoing disaster, was not entirely surprising. A significant portion of the Left is almost giddy about the disaster, because in their minds it demonstrates that industry is dangerously under-regulated and thus provides the all the evidence they need to further extend the long arm of government into aspects of the economy and industry that aren’t even remotely related to oil drilling.

Thirty one years ago the Three Mile Island incident, which didn’t actually hurt anyone [1], effectively shut down the nuclear power industry in the United States. Environmental activists hope to achieve much more in the wake of Deepwater Horizon: to not only stop American off-shore drilling, but to use the disaster to apply a bureaucratic strange-hold on American industry in general. The focus of the president’s address to the nation about the spill proves the point. He didn’t appear half as worried about the disaster in the Gulf as he did about passing cap and trade.

He probably won’t get that legislation, judging by the disgusted reaction of lawmakers [2] on both sides of the aisle, but there are other ways to sabotage the energy sector and the administration is hard at work doing just that. Last week, the Obama administration’s already over-the-top Environmental Protection Agency proposed new rules to regulate non-utility power generation that go beyond extreme and enter the realm of the ludicrous. But, with the shadow of Deepwater Horizon hanging over America, the EPA has a very good chance of pushing them through. An oil spill, it seems, excuses every bureaucratic excess that progressives can imagine. Scores of sources – from the boilers that provide heat to college campuses to the boilers that power ethanol plants, paper mills and food processing plants – will find it impossible to comply with EPA’s proposed boiler regulations and these rules will give bureaucrats unprecedented authority to decide how these industries are run.

The proposed rules are supposed to set new limits on emissions of potentially toxic materials from power plants. The regulation is generically known as “Boiler MACT [3],” with the acronym standing for “Maximum Achievable Control Technology.” However, what USEPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has proposed goes well beyond the toxic realm, with the Agency attempting to use these rules as a back-door way of regulating greenhouse gases and to give Big Government a role in making operational decisions.

A little history is in order. When the Clean Air Act first came into being in its present form in 1970, the EPA was directed to develop rules limiting potentially toxic emissions based solely on risk. That is, if the Agency determined that a particular compound was being emitted in quantities sufficient to present an actual health hazard, then the EPA should develop rules to limit emissions of such a compound. Using this approach, the EPA developed rules to limit emissions of seven potentially toxic materials. This upset environmental groups, who accused the EPA of shirking their responsibilities. That wasn’t true, the Agency simply couldn’t find significant risk anywhere else, but not matter: the environmentalists demanded change, and change they got.

When the Clean Air Act was amended in 1990, the EPA was directed to limit emissions of 188 potentially toxic materials [4], using a technology-based approach. Very little actual science went into selecting those 188 (now 187) compounds, but the list made the Sierra Club and similar groups happy and that’s all that mattered. Under the new approach, the Agency was directed to evaluate how industries were controlling toxics, to determine the top twelve per cent doing the best job and to use these top twelve per cent to set the standard for each compound. Thus, the philosophical question behind controlling potentially toxic air pollutants shifted from “what should we do?” to “what can we do?” The EPA calls those the requirements developed using the top twelve per cent approach “MACT” and scores of industries [5] have their own MACT, outlining the way each is supposed to control potentially toxic materials and setting numerical emissions standards.

Boiler MACT, covering the industrial sector, was first proposed in 2003 under the Bush Administration. The Sierra Club challenged it in court and EPA was directed to rewrite it. The problem that the Sierra Club had with Boiler MACT did not so much involve substance as it did style. They weren’t happy with the form of the regulation, or how the universe of regulated sources was defined. No surprise there, George W. Bush’s EPA could have proposed shutting down every coal-fired power plant in the United States and the Sierra Club would have still said that he didn’t “go far enough” to protect the environment. That’s always the green mantra when a member of the GOP occupies the White House. None-the-less, everyone expected that the “new” version of Boiler MACT would look a lot like the old one, just with more data to back it up, more justification with regard to affected sources and reformatted (but still impossible for an average Joe to understand) language. And, up until recently, that’s what EPA staffers led the regulated community to believe would happen.

But Jackson’s EPA proposed something quite different and disturbing. It effectively abandoned the “top twelve percent” formula, choosing instead to use laboratory detection limits to set limits in many cases. In other words, under EPA’s proposal industrial boilers many potentially toxic pollutants will have to be controlled so tightly that they won’t be able to find what they’re looking for. That’s one step removed from setting emissions limits at zero, and just about as unrealistic and unachievable a goal.

The proposal also requires industrial boiler operators to implement a government-approved energy management program. This program will contain multiple elements, including: a review of available architectural and engineering plans, facility operation and maintenance procedures and logs, and fuel usage; a list of major energy conservation measures; a comprehensive report detailing the ways to improve efficiency, the cost of specific improvements, benefits, and the time frame for recouping those investments; and a facility energy management program developed according to the EPA’s Energy Star [6] guidelines for energy management.

One can argue, and Lisa Jackson’s EPA surely will, that getting the government involved in energy efficiency – i.e., how boilers are run – can affect the amount of potentially toxic emissions a facility puts out, but that’s a very thin argument, especially when the rule in question already contains draconian limits. Energy efficiency requirements are rather a backhand way of achieving the Obama administration’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, without having to go through the tiresome process of addressing “climate change” directly. Further, we’re only talking about industrial boilers here. The EPA is still formulating MACT rules that will affect the big, electricity-producing utility boilers [7] that are far more significant in terms of size and greenhouse gas emissions than the industrial sector.

Can there be any doubt that this radical EPA will ask the power industry to accept equally unachievable limits and submit to even more government control? As far as this administration and progressives are concerned, the disaster in the Gulf is justification enough for every excess that Big Government can dream up.

Nu . . . nu . . . nuclear -
Go ahead and say it loud, Mr. President

June 17, 2010

As a conservationist, I have long understood the condition of the air, soil and water is an important barometer by which we can measure our own health and priorities as a society and culture.

It was not too distant in our past that American rivers literally caught fire. Our cities were covered in smog from smoke stacks and automobiles that belched pollution.

Largely through American innovation, entrepreneurship and a national commitment to improve the environment, things have changed dramatically for the better. Our air is cleaner, our water more pure.

And while cleaner air, soil and water continue to be the goal, I am also an energy pragmatist. Green energy - wind, solar and hydro - will not meet our tremendous energy demands today or tomorrow - possibly ever.

The lifeblood of America continues to be petroleum and will be so for many years to come. That is an inescapable reality.

One of the reasons BP was drilling a mile underwater in the Gulf is that it and other petroleum companies have been pushed further and further away from our energy-rich coasts by so-called environmentalists and short-sighted politicians. We have vast energy riches off our coasts on the Outer Continental Shelf, the Gulf and off the coast of California - energy that the federal government forbids us to extract.

This is maddening considering that, according to President Obama, we send a billion dollars a day to other countries to meet our energy demands when it is estimated by the Minerals and Management Service that there is 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf alone.

Failing to harness this energy is bad policy, harms our ability to be energy independent and continues to keep America addicted to energy from countries that don't like us all that much.

This does not mean America should not look for other forms of energy to quench our thirst for power. However, we must not rush to embrace alternative forms of energy without first doing due diligence.

Green energy may sound appealing and alluring, but the reality is much different. We currently get about 5 percent of our energy from wind, solar and hydro energy. There is little evidence to suggest this will dramatically increase in the coming years. This, too, is a reality.

As I outlined last year in my book "Ted, White, and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto," what we should do is embrace nuclear power. It is the cleanest, safest and most efficient of all energy in the history of mankind, and yet the president rarely mentions it as a key pillar to satisfy our thirst for energy. Until he fully embraces and endorses nuclear energy, he will not be taken seriously by those of us who seek energy independence.

In his Oval Office address on the Gulf oil spill, the president stated he wants us to move forward with green energy and believes more government regulation of the oil companies is prudent. This policy will virtually guarantee outrageously higher, likely crippling energy costs across the board for American companies and citizens.

We should pause to remember that government regulations are the key reason America has not built a new oil refinery or nuclear power plant in more than 30 years. This is a perfect example of government policies and regulations that strangles, stifles and retards progress.

As do most other conservatives, I support reasonable, pragmatic and measurable government policy that is managed by even smarter and pragmatic regulators.

The problem is not that we don't have enough regulation, but rather that we have too much. America is drowning in stacks of regulations that are written by a multitude of bureaucrats in various federal, state and local agencies and departments. We should enforce our existing regulations before arguing for even more regulations and control.

We need a realistic energy vision, a target to shoot for. Similar to President Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon, I believe the goal should be for America to be completely energy independent in 10 years. We can do this with the proper leadership, national commitment and if we have a realistic approach to meeting our energy demands.

Unleash the genius that is the American entrepreneurship; don't strangle it.

Saving Obama from Himself :

Obama’s campaign attacks against Bush now apply to his presidency.

June 24, 2010


Do you remember candidate Barack Obama offering his hope-and-change platitudes in front of the fake Greek columns during the Democratic convention? Or, earlier, pontificating at the Victory Monument in Berlin?

Why didn’t an old cigar-chomping Democratic pro take him aside and warn him about offending Nemesis? She is the dreaded goddess who brings divine retribution in ironic fashion to overweening arrogance.

Or maybe a friend could have whispered to Senator Obama to tone it down when he was merciless in damning the Bush administration for its supposedly slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

Obama railed that Bush showed “unconscionable ineptitude.” Obama further charged that Bush’s response was “achingly slow,” a result of “passive indifference,” and that his team was rife with “corruption and cronyism.”

Those phrases now apply to Obama himself, as he seems lost amid his own disaster — eerily, in about the same Gulf environs. Adding insult to injury, a recent poll revealed that Louisiana residents thought Bush had done a better job with Katrina than Obama has with BP.

Couldn’t one of Obama’s many handlers have warned him to ignore the media’s tingling-leg gaga worship, or their nonsense that Obama is “a god”?

Didn’t Team Obama ever suspect that such an unhinged press, in the manner of a Greek chorus, could just as easily sour on their prophet once his poll ratings fell as quickly as they had soared?

Couldn’t David Axelrod have admonished his candidate to cut out the creepy stuff about himself and his throng being “the ones we’ve been waiting for”? Why was there a need for all that megalomaniac hocus-pocus about slowing the “rise of the oceans” and healing the planet? Sure enough, Nemesis ensured that instead of Lord Poseidon lowering the seas, Obama is a smoky Hephaestus fouling them up.
Did the Nobel Committee members really think they were doing their post-national, post-racial heartthrob any good by giving him a peace prize even though he lacked any record of foreign-policy accomplishment? Didn’t his Scandinavian admirers grasp that prophets suffer the wages of hypocrisy far more readily than mere mortals when things go badly, as they inevitably do? Jay Leno is now more likely to use the phrase “Nobel Laureate Obama” than a serious diplomat.

For nearly two years, Senator, Candidate, and Freshman President Obama ridiculed his predecessor — as if running the executive were as easy a job as community organizing, serving a couple of years in the Senate, or campaigning for president.

But now the once-enthralled electorate is starting to tire of the hope-and-change platitudes, and even of the easy blame-gaming of his predecessor, mostly because almost everything Obama once demagogued is in weird fashion now coming back to haunt him.

Obama easily damned everything from Guantanamo Bay to Predator drone attacks in Afghanistan to the war in Iraq, only to adopt those policies and more from Bush.

He sermonized about the morals of a corrupt Republican Congress, only to keep quiet about earmarks, lobbyists, and the sins of Democratic cronies such as Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Charles Rangel.

Deficits were once supposed proof of Bush’s out-of-control spending. What does far greater red ink say about Obama?

If only swaggering George W. Bush could have been smart enough to reach out to Cuba, Iran, and Syria. Then Obama did just that, only to make bad things even worse.

And remember the Obama comment about an arrogant Bush turning off our allies? Why, then, does an aloof Obama seem to alienate them even more?

The reality of Barack Obama is that he was an inexperienced community organizer with an undistinguished record as a Senate newcomer. A perfect storm of popular anger at eight years of George Bush, a lackluster John McCain campaign, Obama’s landmark candidacy as a black American, a disingenuous campaign promising centrist and bipartisan governance, and the financial meltdown in 2008 got the relatively untried and unknown Obama elected.

Most mortals in Obama’s position would have treaded lightly. They would have kept promises, steered a moderate course, and listened more than lectured until they won over the public with concrete achievement.

But headstrong tragic figures do not do that. They neither welcome in critics nor would listen to them if they did. They impute their unforeseen temporary success to their own brilliance — and expect it to continue forever. So would-be gods set themselves up for a fall far harder than what happens to the rest of us.

That’s about where we are now, with our president playing a character right out of Greek tragedy who, true to form, is railing about the unfairness of it all.
