Gas... it's not only at the pump

Pelosi

The year 2007

Bush presidency

First and foremost blame Bush.

All those poor souls in 2007 paying $3.07 a gallon in her district. 

 In her district today, some stations are charging over $5.00 a gallon!

 Where is the concern now?
Why was it Bush's fault then, but not Obama's fault now?
Pelosi also blamed Bush for relying on foreign oil. It must have slipped by me. When did the liberal mantra become... drill baby drill?

 She said they're going to make up for the inaction. They did, it went from $3.07 to $3.72. Gas has never been this high at this time of the year.


Of all the women in Congress she is the most vile, contemptible, lying, hypocrite of all. Just like her boss, she's never had a real job in the private sector; and then we wonder why we're almost $16 trillion in debt. She is incapable of performing even the most rudimentary basics of governing which also transcends to her personal life by choosing to ignore the fundamental teachings of the Catholic church. 


But by God, she'll probably die in office... thanks to the idiots in her district.

Obama

Campaign ad

Summer 2008

(If bullshit were diamonds his name would be Tiffany)

Now we're paying on average $3.72 a gallon and you don't here squat from  Democrats

In that ad, candidate Obama made three campaign promises concerning our nation’s energy. He promised to:

• Make oil companies pay a penalty on windfall profits.

• Invest $150 billion dollars (of your money) in alternative energy

• Create 5 million jobs (and free ourselves from foreign oil)

Let’s review those promises and their success or failure:

1.  Windfall profits penalties are red meat at campaign stops, but rarely show any serious effect when considered in the real world.

2.  Alternative energy funding? Solyndra, National Renewable Energy, Ener1 and a host of other failures highlight the folly of his plan.

3.  Five million news jobs? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, America has a net loss of more than 1.1 MILLION seasonally-adjusted, private sector jobs since Obama took office.

Like I said they're never called out.

Guantanamo Detainees Get New $750,000 Soccer Field

It's like Sandals Beach Resort only better. They don't have a soccer field.

At a time of record deficits, a new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay is just getting the finishing touches -- at a cost of $750,000 to taxpayers.


Remember now, Barry promised his liberal loonies he was going to close Gitmo down. If he planned to keep that promise why in the f--- would he build a soccer field? 








http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2009/06/gitmo-inmates-get-laptops-computer-lab/

The project was the highlight of a tour Tuesday of the detention camp for reporters at the facility covering the arraignment in a military court of Majid Khan, a former Baltimore resident and the the only legal U.S. resident on trial at Guantanamo.

The project began in April 2011 and is due to finish this spring.

 The detainees will now have three recreation facilities at Camp 6, which is home to "highly compliant" detainees who live in a communal setting.

In addition to an indoor recreation field and the existing outdoor recreation field, the new soccer field -- selected because it is such a popular sport with detainees -- is half the size of an American football field. 

The new field has been specially constructed so that the detainees "have maximum access" -- about 20 hours a day. Special passageways allow the detainees to pass into the new recreation yard without being escorted by the military.

On the tour, a military police representative who asked not to be identified by name said allowing high levels of activity outdoors helped reduce behavioral problems at the camps, and it also limited the amount of interaction between detainees and the guards.

Since the detention camps opened in 2002, some half dozen cases have been prosecuted -- four ended in plea agreements with minimal jail time. 

Khan, accused of being hand-selected by Sept. 11, 2001, mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for a second wave of attacks inside the U.S., including a plot to blow up gas stations, is expected to cut a deal. He is also implicated in an assassination plot against former Pakistani President Pervez Musharaff and a car bombing at the Marriott hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2003.

His appearance will be the first time anyone outside the U.S. military or intelligence community has seen him since his capture after Sept. 11 and transfer to secret prisons formerly maintained by the CIA.

Even some of President Obama's most ardent supporters suggest the administration seems eager to close the camps and reduce the detainee population, and plea agreements with minimal jail time are a sweetheart deal for all involved.

Detainees like Usama bin Laden's personal cook and his driver are spending less time in prison than American citizens prosecuted in federal courts on lesser charges.

By example, Zachary Chesser of Charlottesville, Va., who was convicted for making threats against the creators of "South Park" and for supporting a Somali terror group, but who never fired a shot on the battlefield, is now serving a 25-year sentence. 

By contrast, Omar Khadr, who killed an American soldier on the battlefield in Afghanistan is nearly half way through his eight-year sentence at Guantanamo, and may finish out his term in Canada.

On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder, testifying about the Justice Department budget on Capitol Hill, said the recidivism rate for Guantanamo detainees overall is in the mid-20s. But the recidivism rate for those transferred during the Obama administration is 7 percent. Holder acknowledged that part of that comparison may be because the former detainees have been out for a shorter period of time, but also because the determinations about each of their release had to be unanimously approved by a task force.

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.

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

I can see it now...
