What does, Barry, Jimmy, Al, and Arafat have in common?





Bradley Manning nominated for Nobel Peace Prize


I guess this gives new meaning to the "merit" of  Barry's Nobel Peace Prize. Since the prize is not awarded posthumously Bin Laden was eliminated thanks to our Navy Seals. So they nominated Al Jazeera instead.
 What a f------ joke!



US soldier and WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning, Bill Clinton and Helmut Kohl are known to be on the list of a total of 231 nominees up for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.



"As always, there are the usual nominees and some newcomers, some famous and some unknowns, hailing from the four corners of the world," the head of the Nobel Institute, Geir Lundestad, said.

With 188 individuals and 43 organisations, the number of candidates comes close to last year's record of 241, when the prestigious award went to Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee, and Yemeni Arab Spring activist Tawakkol Karman.

Thousands of people are eligible to submit nominations - including members of parliaments and governments worldwide, university professors, past laureates and members of several international institutes - who had until February 1 to propose candidates.

The Nobel Institute keeps the names of nominees secret for 50 years, but those who are entitled to nominate are allowed to reveal the name of the person or organisation they have proposed.

Among the people known to have been nominated for this year's prize are former US president Bill Clinton, ex-German chancellor Helmut Kohl who led his country's reunification process, and Ukraine's ex-premier and now jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.

Also on the list is jailed US soldier Manning, who has been charged with 22 counts in a US military court for turning over a massive cache of classified US documents to anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks.

Despite its current crisis the European Union is also among the candidates, as are Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege, Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Paya and Yoani Sanchez, and Russian rights group Memorial and its founder Svetlana Gannushkina.

Yet others include US political scientist Gene Sharp, known for his theory of non-violent resistance which inspired some of the key figures behind the Arab Spring, Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki who was brought to power in 2011 by the revolution in his country, and television news channel Al Jazeera.

The winner or winners will be announced in October.

Krauthammer: U.S. apology for Koran burning ‘embarrassing,’ ‘groveling’




Obama wrote to Afghan President Hamid Karzai that “I wish to express my deep regret for the reported incident” in which personnel at the Bagram air base threw copies of the Koran and other books into a burning rubbish pile. “I extend to you and the Afghan people my sincere apologies,” Obama wrote, according to a statement from Karzai’s office.

“We will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible,” Obama said in a letter delivered by U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker.



Two American soldiers were killed over the Koran burning.

I can see it now...





The Ford Fungi, the Chrysler Kelp, and the Chevy Protozoa.


Barry proclaimed recently we can make gasoline out of algae.

Related post:







This is the rain gauge in my backyard. We picked up two inches of rain in about 20 minutes yesterday.

If you look closely at the bottom and top there is a little algae.

In order to comply with  "my fair share" I'm sending it to Barry.



I'm all for alternative fuels. But Barry talks about it as if we have a choice. Like we could go to Solar Sunoco or Algae Atlantic tomorrow and fill up. The real practicality of his solutions are 2o to 25 years out. We care about the here and now. 





Algae


It's like Solyndra in a test tube




We've seen how Ethanol worked out. 10% of Ethanol made from corn is now blended with gas. Sounds great, but taking corn to make fuel creates a more expensive feed for livestock thereby increasing  prices on meat, milk, eggs, etc in the supermarket. Been there lately? That pound of Black Forest Ham I paid $3.29 for just a few months ago at Publix was $5.49 yesterday. Milk (gal's) 2 for $4.00 a year ago, today $3.78 for one gallon. 



So fine, work on alternative fuels, nothing better then watching the Saudi's choke on oil that no longer is in demand. But you better drill baby drill in the meantime because our economy and the security of this nation depends upon people... who... are not to crazy about us.

BTW what's wrong with the Keystone Pipeline? Why not buy from friends instead of enemies? This is a win win for us. Get cheaper oil from Canada and put thousands of Americans to work. Sounds better then Barry's solution.



Pipelines currently in the US.

What's one more?


Red - Natural gas
Green - Refined products
Yellow - Crude oil
Blue - Liquified petroleum gas/natural gas liquids
Purple - Petrochemical

HE'S NEVER CALLED OUT...





On his bullshit.


Didn't the media just crucify Newt on moon colonies?  Isn't this equally laughable!!!


Obama Proposes Meeting Energy Needs With Algae

During his campaign, Obama promised to make energy prices skyrocket, and he has certainly delivered. But not to worry, he has a new plan that will meet our energy needs without allowing drilling or pipelines. We’ll just use algae:
“We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance, algae — you’ve got a bunch of algae out here,” Obama said at the University of Miami [yesterday]. “If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing all right. Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America."
So lets analyze this. Due to his extreme mental capacity he has figured out (overnight no less) using algae comes to a 17% reduction in imported oil. Fucking Brilliant! The oil Sheiks are about to commit suicide.


When Kraut dies the world will be at a loss. There is no one like him.

Listen to his take on Obama's algae solution to our energy needs.


 Barry could preach a sermon on the potential of scraping chewing  gum from beneath movie theatre seats in order to fuel our cars and the dedicated flock of morons behind him would smile in approval. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) currently spends about $85 million on 30 research projects “to develop algal biofuels,” according to the White House, which announced that Obama is committing another $14 million to the idea.

During the last Republican debate, John King foolishly asked the candidates to describe themselves in one word. Summing up Barack Hussein Obama in one word is easy: ASSHOLE.
