The price of gas when Obama took office

February 24th, 2012 | No Comments

Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof.  Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously.  And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices?

More bad oil news from Mexico

July 11th, 2011 | No Comments

Anyone who might be expecting Mexico to bail us out of our OPEC mess might be bothered by this news from the US Energy Information Administration: Mexico is a major non-OPEC oil producer and the United States’ second largest source of oil imports. Mexico produced slightly less than 3 million barrels of oil per day [...]

Is Libya all about the oil?

March 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

QuestionsView Results That’s not my poll, but it’s a dead-on appropriate question.  Obama says it’s about the intended genocide Khadafi threatened.  Well, that’s been going on unabated in Yemen, Sudan, and several parts of Africa.  What’s so special about Libyans that other Africans don’t merit? When Bush citied weapons of mass destruction and known threats [...]

(Name removed) blames President Obama for high gas prices, do you?

March 18th, 2011 | No Comments

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest. So many people are so hung up on the “Sarah Palin is stupid” liberal talking point that they more often than not will react [...]

$5 Gas Predicted Under Obama — What, No Pitchforks?

December 30th, 2010 | No Comments

Larry Elder over at RealClearPolitics writes a very nice little article retrospective of when gas prices rose under Bush, and how they are now under Obama.  In his article, he mentions some comments made by Nancy Pelosi.  I had tackled that one before.  Just for the record, when she made the comments criticizing Bush and [...]

Carbon will be the leading source of conflict

June 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

Who won this election anyway?

December 22nd, 2008 | No Comments

The election of 2008 was running pretty good for John McCain for a while.  He had chipped away at Obama’s lead for a while and gotten a good boost from the publicity of the national convention and his choice for vice president.  Then, a couple of things seemed to totally derail his entire campaign.  I [...]

Sarah Palin to be McCain’s VP?

August 29th, 2008 | 2 Comments

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

Democrats flee as opposed to discussing gas relief

August 4th, 2008 | No Comments

A rather bizarre event unfolded Friday.  Basically, the Republicans tried to force a vote on drilling for more oil.  The Democrats stifled it.  Then, the Democrats decided that accomplishing nothing to help the United States deal with soaring gas prices was better than debating, or even worse yet, voting to allow more drilling. It didn’t [...]

Harry Reid is clueless

July 22nd, 2008 | No Comments

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog: When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed [...]
