Obama Wanting To Re-install The Moratorium on Drilling

Thanks to the work Glenn Beck is doing, we know that Obama’s push for the moratorium is coming at least in part from George Soros. Soros wants to see the oil platforms move from the Gulf down to Brazil so it will help his stocks. I suppose it makes some sense since I am sure George is having to use plenty of his own money to help Obama get his agenda done.

Funny, though, how Obama can be so against capitalism, CEOs and the rich people while he and the people who support him have plenty of money of their own, and Obama has nothing to say about that!

Well, to my mind, all his anti-capitalism talk is nothing but a load of crap. Obama is no more anti-capitalism than any of the CEOs he blasphemes. His rhetoric has nothing about anti-capitalism, any more than cap and trade has anything to do with global warming or protecting the environment. If Obama was genuinely interested in protecting the environment, he would not be letting the Gulf oil spill go on as long as it has.

As I just pointed out, it really has a lot more to do with him allowing George Soros to make even more money than he has already. Obama, if you are sincere in spreading all the wealth around, how about you start with your good buddy, George? Take away some of his money! Even up the playing field of everyone--not just those that you would like to take the money from!

I have heard a pretty precise explanation of what really happened on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, and it certainly does sound plausible. But even after I heard that from a friend of mine, I kept hearing on the news that they still do not know exactly what caused the rig to blow.

One pattern I have seen with Obama is that he very carefully makes sure he is not associated with these calamities, although we all know that that the administration will use them to their advantage as much as they can.

The question is “Are they involved in creating these problems to begin with, or are they merely taking advantage of them?” Well, before Obama came along, all these calamities were not occurring as they are now, although I have seen a pattern to their development in many things that have happened since 9/11. Now I question *everything* that takes place with this administration.

So, as to Obama’s push for a moratorium on drilling, and putting thousands more out of work in a depressed economy such as this is purely ludicrous, and Obama’s sincerity is so in question with me that I do not believe for a second that he has any real concern about the displaced oil rig worker’s safety.

I just saw a report (on CNN, no less) about how a fisherman in Louisiana had put in his claim because of the oil spill, and the government made him lay out his books and prove his claim, only to turn around and offer him some paltry amount much smaller than he was claiming.

Now, if this $20 billion Obama is making BP pledge--which Obama himself has left open-ended, then why should the government be so damned stingy about taking care of those affected by the spill? It is not the government’s money he is spending. It is BP’s!

There were reports out how this money was being obtained illegally and unconstitutionally by this president, and how it will actually become yet another giant slush fund for Obama to use in his agenda. Let us go back to how “transparent” this administration is supposed to be, and let him put online the accounting of the $20 billion.

But we cannot trust this government. As it is, Obama initially said that the $20 billion would be controlled by an external firm. But through some legal manipulation, who he has heading it up in reality is one of Obama’s own czars! So, if Obama likes big government so much, and enjoys creating special committees so much to look into things, I think a *really* independent accounting firm should be utilized to confirm each and every claim paid out, and those results published in yet another totally separate website, so the two can be compared at any time. And if fishermen and businesses are not be dealt with fairly, their complaints can be lodged with them and put online for all the world to see.

If we cannot have honest reporting from the media, we have to resort to getting honest information in other ways. This might be a way to do it. But I, for one, do not want to see this administration get rich off BP when that money is not supposed to go to them.

Our Commander-In-Chief is really a terrorist and thief. Sorry, but until I can believe otherwise--and I will give Obama the chance to prove me wrong, that is how I feel about this man.

On The Firing of Gen. McChrystal

Like everything Obama does, as soon as I heard about McChrystal story in the Rolling Stone, it was entirely suspect to me, and the American people are being kept from the real truth of the situation.

I would feel a lot differently about this article the person who wrote it came from a conservative background or worked for a conservative company. But being from The Rolling Stone magazine, I cannot help but feel that there is far more to the story.

When Obama keeps things quiet, and says as little about a situation as he can, it tells me he is not wanting the public to know all the facts. If things start getting too out of control for him, as with the BP oil spill, he will come out and give a speech. But his speeches, like his town hall meetings, are usually controlled events. So he will give his little speech, and that will be all. Very seldom have I seen him entertain questions from the press, and when he has, he keeps his answers long to keep the questions to a minimum. Only when a situation is favorable to him and his agenda does he ever open himself up more, such as at the global warming summit in Copenhagen, or as he did with the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

From what I have seen and heard of the article, there did not seem to be that much that McChrystal is accused of saying that warranted Obama letting him go. With Obama, almost everything is a political matter with him. So, when I had heard that Michael Hastings had access to McChrystal’s headquarters, and was carrying around a tape recorder, my thought was that maybe Hastings had caught on tape off the record things that could be used against him, and was.

My thought is that maybe Obama had Hastings do this article on him so he could get rid of him. But McChrystal was one of the view military personnel who voted for Obama, and later on, I also heard that he was quite liberal. So that did not seem to quite fit.

But when Obama appointed General Petraeus, something else came to mind. Maybe this was all a setup--not to get rid of McChrystal, but of General Petraeus. Petraeus was Bush’s general, and it did not make sense how the whole media raved about what a brilliant move it was for Obama to choose him when the media was so against him before because he was Bush’s general. Why would Obama choose Bush’s general when Obama has been so opposed to anything connected with Bush?

We have not heard whether McChrystal had lost his military benefits or not. It would say something about how angry Obama was with McChrystal. But there is something phony in what each person had said about the other. They both have this respect for the other, so it makes me think this issue is all a put on. But it would make more sense to me if Obama and McChrystal had some sort of understanding about what what was going on.

At first, I thought maybe this was Obama’s way of getting rid of our four-star generals, because he does not like the military. To me, it was along the lines of Obama’s threatening the CIA and FBI--which I have long been wondering how things have changed in those organizations, because you do not hear anything with them.

Later, however, the thought occurred to me that maybe the real target here was General Patraeus. By moving Patraeus into McChrystal’s position, Obama could get Petraeus so frustrated with Obama’s rules for engagement and Obama’s handling of the war that Petraeus would quit. Then McChrystal would move into Petraeus’ position with Central. That certainly makes more sense to me, especially if McChrystal is the liberal person I heard that he was. It would also make more sense why the liberal media is making such a fuss over this being such a brilliant move by Obama.

One other point about this thing with McChrystal. I find it interesting how so many people--both people in the media, and just callers into different talk shows--end up saying that McChrystal just had to go. Their minds were instantly made up, and I find it very similar to Tony Hayward and BP.

From what I had read in the article, it seems McChrystal was a very hard and strong general. We need those kinds of people in the military. But Obama is hardly the military type, and the Rolling Stone article pointed out how McChrystal thought Obama looked "uncomfortable and intimidated" by the roomful of military brass.

Critics of Obama keep making Obama to be just an intellectual--inexperienced in the political world, and incompetent. And perhaps he is as far as his being president goes. But I do not view him through the eyes of a president because he does not reflect American values, and appears to have other designs on this nation than he lets on about. I see him as a very shrewd person who manipulates things to his own ends. In that way, I see him as being very dangerous, because many might not be able to see through him.

I confess that my opinions of this man in this blog may not always be accurate. What I try to present here is to just get the reader to think a little differently about what is going on. I may well be wrong, and I admit that. But I will put these ideas out there because we are not getting the truth from the media. It is plainly obvious, at the least, that they are being very selective about what they tell us, so my feeling is that we would be very wise to be much more suspect about what is going on.

That is the point of view I take here. I do not accuse Obama of anything, as such. If I could trust what Obama tells us, there would be no problem. But he has shown himself to me to be a liar and manipulator--far more than any of our other presidents. I even think he is deceiving even the very Democrats that support him so whole-heartedly. That makes him, to my mind, a very dangerous person to have in the White House.

Obama’s Boot on BP

Note:  This is a long post.  It is hard for me to take the time to edit these posts at times, so I put it on as is, and hope it has some affect to those who follow this blog.

Last week, (06/15/2010) Barack Obama addressed the nation about the BP oil spill in the Gulf. He went to great lengths to explain what the situation is and how hard he has been working down there to convince people that he is doing something. But that is about all that he has done about the Gulf situation--is to try to convince us of what he is doing down there…and to do what he has done with doctors, Wall St., tea partiers and others--demonize them, and tell us how awful they all are. And now he is demonizing BP and Chief Executive Tony Hayward is being replaced because of his inability to stop the oil leak in the Gulf.

Despite the reports that are being heard on the news about it all, my feeling is rather different. Obama’s has his boot on the throat of BP--not to stop the leak--but to do just the opposite. Obama is keeping his boot on their throat and telling them to keep the leak going; to find some reason for all their efforts to fail, and not be successful. Maybe he, or Rahm ’dead-fish’ Imanuel at least, have threatened them to keep them from further drilling, shutting down all their rigs, or somehow robbing them any way they can, such as with this $20 billion “agreement” to those making claims against them.

Do we really think BP would not be able to stop this leak if they really wanted to? Their whole business is at stake. And…they do KNOW what they are doing with it. But we have in Obama a person does not lead this nation. He manipulates it for his own purposes, for his own agenda. And he is doing it pretty much unopposed because he then turns around and hoodwinks the American people by making himself sound like he is the good guy.

Obama is the is not the commander-in-chief. He is the terrorist and thief, systematically dismantling this country with each and every crisis he creates for himself.

And I do mean “creates”. Whether this one was started by him, or accidentally, he is using it for his own purposes. Despite how Obama tries to convince us otherwise of what he is trying to do, his actions tell us differently.

We have heard how the Dutch had skimmer ships they were ready to send to the Gulf to help cleanup the oil, and twelve other nations sought to help us, but Obama would not accept their help. Our government said no to them. Kevin Costner had a centrifuge system that would have separated water and oil. A college girl had an idea of plugging the well with old tires. Another group soaked up the oil through the use of hay. Oil could have been burned off. It has not. Booms could have contained the spread of oil. They are sitting in warehouses. Gov. Bobby Jindal wanted to build barrier islands to protect the wet lands. He has been kept from doing so. Skimmer ships that are now ready to go to work are also being prevented because the Coast Guard has to inspect them all first, and no one can seem to find out who made that decision.

We have an emergency situation here and precious little is really being done about it. Obama says he is marshalling all the resources together to deal with it, but in fact is actually doing the exact opposite. He is doing as little as possible. He is stalling, doing every he can to do to keep this problem going. BP is in the process of drilling new wells, but in the meantime, there seems to be no further efforts to find some other solution, or to retry efforts that have failed again, perhaps a little differently. We know America can deal with this. But Obama is making us all believe there is not much more that can be done. Yes, Obama is on top of it all, but it is not to work on the oil spill. It is to shut down BP. Be will never come out and admit these things.

His way of dealing with this crisis is to send down lawyers. LAWYERS!

Just as he is doing with Arizona and its illegal immigration law. He is filing suit against Governor Jan Brewer instead of taking action to fix the real problem. What American president acts in this way?

Why does he keep Jindal from building the barrier islands? Why is Coast Guard inspecting skimmers, and why can no one find out who authorized their having to do these inspections, instead of getting them out immediately to start cleaning up this mess?

And now, with the hurricane season looming, clean-up efforts should be even more urgent.

Obama has not been fixing the economy. It is still down, and now with the Gulf oil spill, fishermen cannot fish. Oil riggers will be out of work because of Obama’s moratorium on drilling. Hoteliers are having to lay-off staff because their rooms are not being filled with vacationers coming to the beaches. This is what Obama wants; what he likes. It is just another way of bringing down the American economy. And it will only get worse.

It will get worse with the hurricane season, and Obama is counting on that so it will do yet even more harm to the economy. The end justifies the means, even if it does make a huge mess that takes years to be cleaned up and the environment to recover from. It is all about bringing down the mighty United States of America.

From what I have seen of Tony Hayward, I believe him to be a very good and smart man--a man whose whole life is being ruined--not by the spill, but by the pressure being put on him by Obama and his administration. Like a mod godfather, Obama--probably through Rahm “dead fish” Emanual--he has made Hayward “an offer he cannot refuse”--that if Hayward does not do exactly what Obama wants, and/or says anything about what Obama is doing. Obama will ruin him and his company completely. That is what I believe is really going on, and the American people are swallowing it hook, link, and sinker.

It is completely unconscionable what Obama is doing to this man, and to BP. Obama gets away with it because he is working pretty much unopposed, and the media is either controlled by Obama himself, or at least has them eating out of his hand. If I am wrong about that, then Obama would have a whole series of press conferences on the status of the spill. He has it all controlled so reporters will not ever ask him any really difficult questions because it would only expose what this man is really doing.

Obama only tells us what he wants us to hear. With the oil spill, I am even wondering about Fox News a little, who has been the most independent. But with Obama’s recent speech from the Oval Office, Obama puts forth the view he wants Americans to see of him. But he will not put himself under the microscope of an honest press that would really question him hard on what is really going on.

Obama is making BP pay--$20 billion worth, and probably more--in a decision that is being made without due process of law. It is just Obama going in and telling them this is what BP is going to have to do. I believe Tony Hayward had the skills, incentive, and knowledge to have stopped this leak a long time ago, and had he been allowed to, this spill would have cost BP a whole lot less. But because Obama is demonizing and making an example of them, the spill is not so much the oil, but the money Obama is draining from BP coffers. And he will drain as much of it from them as he can--all so he can “spread the wealth around”.

However, there is no spreading of wealth taking place. What IS taking place--what makes sense to me, at least--is that vast amounts of money is being siphoned off BP in whatever ways Obama and his administration can to support a dead-end socialist agenda. Socialism will not work because the incentives for growth are taken away. Obama says he is not a socialist, though, and I am not tending to believe him. To find out what I do think about him, see my next article, “Obama, Muslims, and Terrorists”.

Please know that what I will be presenting in that article is not a plan that I can speak definitively of. It is based on supposition, in trying to put together the discombobulated picture Obama has been presenting us so it makes some kind of sense. It may not be entirely accurate, or accurate at all, for that matter. I just present it to you as a possibility of what may be to come because I do not believe much of anything that is coming out of Washington these days to be the truth of what things really are.

This president takes on far too much power for himself. I even heard a report that Joe Biden--during BP’s private meeting with the president--had told BP that “they don’t have any choice”. I could not find an actual written report to support this, and put it in context, but it does seem very consistent with how this administration acts and the pressure it is putting on the BP’s Tony Hayward.

Even if the EPA was saying no to all of this because of the danger to the environment, the problem there is such an environmental disaster that they should not be so worried about the solutions being tried because not doing anything is, and would be, far worse than the environmental concerns about solutions.

Not that I do not feel there are, and can be, environmental concerns about things. I think a wide-spread use of the dispersant they are using should be one, since we do not know what is in it and the affect it could have if too much of it is used. But we cannot spend so much precious time arguing about how much or how little should be used. A judgment call simply has to be made on it. There is not the time to do a total evaluation of the environmental affect of the action. Our president cannot be afraid to make such decisions. That is why he is there--to make quick decisions in times of crisis.

The problem here, however, is that we do not have a president that is making decisions based on the good of the country. His decisions are all political, based on what is most advantageous to his own agenda. Obama complains that when it comes to how Americans feel he has been handling the Gulf situation, it is like he is always put in a “damned if does/damned if doesn’t” position.

Well, that is not the Americans fault. It is his own fault. It is his own fault because he put himself in that position with his dishonestly to the American people. Despite all the “conspiracy theories” about his birth certificate, to me it is a serious issue because more and more is coming to the surface about his birthplace. It is something that has a very serious side to it because if he is NOT a U.S.-born citizen, each and every bill he signs can be declared illegal--and given what he is doing to this nation, it would be the easiest way to undo what he has done--no repeal process would be required.

Quite personally, I do not believe that he is a U.S. citizen. I just recently saw a video where he himself declares he was born in Kenya, and another where a monument has been set up in Kenya honoring his birthplace there, and further evidence that his birth certificate has been, in fact, altered.

Conspiracy theories have been circulating for years about things, like the U.S. government actually being behind 9/11. Well, I am starting to think that there may well be some amount of truth to all these different conspiracy theories. We just have not come upon the real truth behind them. Right now, as far as 9/11 goes, I am starting to wonder if it was--not George Bush and the Republicans behind it, nor even maybe the Democrats, but the Progressives (communists and socialists like Obama has as his czars now) that were behind it.

I also believe Obama is a Muslim, yet he refrains--or did refrain--from speaking of it too publicly before the American people because it would have hurt his agenda. As it is, I personally believe that the Muslim mosque that is being built on ground 0 in New York City is something that Obama himself supports, if did not help to arrange. City planners say that it is something being done to show tolerance of the Islamic religion, but my feeling is that they are saying that because Obama has exerted his influence over them. Neither they, or Obama, would ever come out and say so publicly, but you can bet he has.

I also heard that an even bigger complex is being planned, I think, in Atlanta, Georgia, or in that area of the country.

We are not dealing with an honest president. Obama does not hold traditional American values, although he will talk of them when the situation requires it, as he did just last night in his speech before the American people. He speaks of it in this controlled town hall meetings. He gives a warm concern down in the Gulf for citizens there. But none of it can be believed.

What I can believe is that he is holding this economy down intentionally. He says now that he is trying to deal with the spill in the Gulf, but his total lack of any decisive action in the first days of the spill--other than putting his boot on the neck of BP--shows me a different side to Barack Obama Hussein. It tells me that something was not, and is not right about everything that has gone on with it.

I admit that as soon as I heard of the explosion, I did not feel it was by accident. I will concede that I could be wrong of it now. But I do not think the whole story that has been told to the American people. When I hear that this administration has its foot on the neck of BP, I do not think it is to put pressure on them to stop the leak. I tend to feel it is to keep the leak going for as long as possible, and for BP NOT to say or do anything about it.

I believe that because it fits with how Obama works, with how we seen him push his health care bill through, and many other things that I have talked about in this blog. He wants this economy down, and by letting this spill continue, he can make the case for stopping further drilling, which puts yet more people unemployed in this country. The environmental factor is affecting hotels, because people are not wanting to come to stay in them.

And worse than just the unemployment is that with so many unemployed people, and a stymied economy, the money and wealth is not being created to help payoff the deficit that we so desperately need to payoff.

The more that Obama gets into place with his agenda, the easier time he will have because he can then present himself more presidential than he has in the past. But we MUST NOT be deceived by it. He is changing this nation in the way he wants it, and America will not be the same when he is done with it.

After apartheid in South After, their flag changed. Obama will do the same here in the U.S., if not split America up into about five different countries altogether. America will not be the same. I heard these things a long time ago, and now they seem to be in the realm of reality in the not-to-distant future. You may view it that the “times they are a-changing”, but is it that the times are simply changing, or are the changes being forced upon us?

I believe it is the latter, but it is being done under stealth, and we, as Americans are letting it happen without any resistance, or will regret it dearly later on if he gets his way.

A Finger On The World

Friday night (06/11/2010) I had watched a good portion of the South African World Cup Concert. As I did so, I felt that what was taking place down there was 1) not by any accident, but had the feel of something planned and organized with major politics behind it, and 2) by no means a small event in its affect on the world stage. What I question, however, was how good it will be in the long run.

But there is no doubt in me about the significance of the event. As I sat watching it, it felt like I was being transported back to the 60’s, when the Beatles first arrived on the world scene with their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. This concert had that kind of transformational mark upon it.

As seen in the context of the entire world scene, however, it is not that kind of event that will lead us to any kind of world peace. If anything, the event will be a small thing compared to the world upheaval that is more likely to over-shadow it. There are simply too many other serious problems to work out. There are too many other serious changes taking place.

The sad thing is that I believe the world was at a place where we could have gotten closer to world peace more than any other time in our history. That time was immediately after 9/11. What took place that day shocked the world. For that instant, we suddenly became one in a way that had never happened before. We did so because that moment was shared simultaneously as a result of our global communications. Not even the attack on Pearl Harbor, or the ending of World War II had that kind of global affect.

America responded as a nation would have responded to such a thing--by declaring war against those that planned and initiated the attack. But my belief is that the different nature of the attack required a very different response. Why? Because with how we did respond, my feeling is that we played right into the terrorists hands.

I will not share with you how I feel we should have responded to 9/11, at least, not at this time. What I would say about it would probably shock you, but not for the reasons you might think. How I feel we should have response must be understood in the context of a much larger picture. Much has transpired since 9/11, however. The picture since then has changed radically.

 

When I saw the South African World Cup concert, I saw a glimmer of hope for the world. I witnessed an optimism, and energy, that the younger people of today have about their future, despite the dismal things that are going on today. It was good to feel. It felt similar to the energy of the sixties.

However, the sixties were a chaotic time for us. We had Vietnam, war protests and racial riots, and rock music caused the youth to rebel against ’the establishment’. We are in a very tumultuous times today, as well. Much more tumultuous. My feeling is that despite the optimism and energy seen in South Africa, it will not be all that easy to find peace in the coming years. Take that as you will. It is only my opinion.

We need to go in a different direction. I want to be able to share with you my feelings about what that direction might be. I want to in the worst way. But it is not for me to just tell you. It has to be done in a certain way. The problem for me is that I am not in a position to do it by myself--right now, at least.

Time is passing by, however. I get concerned about that, but at the same time, I find myself having to have faith that if this is meant to happen, the means for me to present that which I have will come to be, one way or another.

Tipper and Al Gore--Why they may have separated

The sudden news of Al and Tipper Gore separating (or divorcing) was pretty shocking and unforeseen news to those who knew them. Much was made of their big kiss at the Democratic convention, and if there was any hope for a couple surviving in the world of politics, most would have thought they would have been able to survive.

The news made many wonder, however, what would have been the cause of a breakup between these two. The easiest to imagine was another woman, or some other sex scandal having been found out. Maybe, just over time, some have surmised the two may have just drifted apart.

Nothing, so far, has been said about Tipper, that maybe the infidelity may have been with her. If Al is out traveling the world, and there have been large periods of separation between the two of them, maybe that would make some sense. But that does not seem that plausible to me, either. I would like to share what I feel is an altogether different take on it.

A marriage can only survive, and survive well, if there is a strong element of trust between the two partners. I can believe that trust still exists between Al and Tipper, and neither one would have cared to do anything that would upset their little love nest. I will look outside the box and can imagine it being something totally different.

Al Gore became a much bigger force to content with in the world as a result of his documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, and his whole push on global warming. He raised a lot of good awareness about what we are doing to the planet, and people got behind him because of it.

But when the emails between scientists came spilling out that made global warming seen the gigantic hoax that it now is because of those emails, if Tipper believed in her husband’s cause and knew nothing of how the data was being falsified to fit the picture Al Gore wanted to make, that is what could have broken the element of trust between them.

Maybe initially a little modifying of the data could have been acceptable because the cause would have good enough to excuse. But I would submit that with the scope of the lie, the affect it would have on the lie being exposed, it could be that lie that began to break the bond of trust between Al and Tipper Gore.

With what I have heard about the lifestyle both Al and Tipper enjoyed as a result of Al Gore’s global warming cause, the lie about it would have been a huge threat to its success. The news about it came out right around the huge international consortium on global warming in Copenhagen. It had to have been a huge embarrassment to the Gore’s, and if Tipper had little or no knowledge of it at all, it could have been enough to have shaken the strong foundation of even their marriage.

There is the old adage that “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. We have seen with both Nixon, and now Obama, how a small lie can turn into a huge problem once the propagators of the lie try to cover it up. It is yet to be seen what the effect the Sestak scandal will have on Obama.

But with Al Gore and global warming, the evidence of the emails made it hard to try to cover up, so then it would have to be a matter of how to minimize the damage and still accomplish the goals that were set as a result of it. It now has to be a matter of trying to get the proverbial square peg to fit in round hole. It is just something that is not going to happen very naturally.

The global warming thing is now something not spoken of very much. Something new has to be created to replace it. Right now, the closest thing there is is the BP oil spill, and how it is being demonized to help make the case against capitalism.

As I felt initially when the oil rig first blew up, the timing of it for the Obama administration was curiously ironic, as it has been with all their “crisis”. Maybe it was purely an accident, but just as with the theories that abound about 9/11 and Obama’s birth certificate, we may never know the real truth to what happened with BP. But it smells about the same to me. If nothing else, Obama would at least try to use the problem to his advantage somehow.

I will not pretend to know what is really going on with the oil spill, and within our government. But it seems the Obama administration is increasingly having to defend itself as more questions seem to rise about their activities. That can only lead to them having to cover themselves more.

If Al Gore had a hand in other activities, and Tipper had seen her husband involved yet another massive cover-up--perhaps with cap and trade and/or the BP oil spill--it could have made Tipper wonder about the man she was married to, and how these activities are changing him.

Maybe it made her wonder just how far this man would go. It would have to hurt to see such a powerful man that she has been married to compromise his ideals and principals for the sake of his goals. Maybe it caused even her to wonder how far Gore would go in pursuit of this ideas. Maybe with liberals and politics, the end can justify the means, but that kind of thinking becomes detrimental in a marriage. Trust is the most essential element in a marriage. Once that trust is broken, it is very hard to repair, however that mistrust comes about. At the least, it should have put a good strain on even their marriage.

The truth will find you out eventually, and it well could be that is what happened between Al and Tipper, and now its appears to be catching up with Barack Obama, as well, especially with the sudden and undisclosed reasons for the departure of S. Elizabeth Birmbaum from the MMS…

Concerns Now About Another BP Oil Rig: Atlantis
Yesterday (June 2, 2010) CNN American Morning had a story of yet another BP oil rig could be “an even bigger disaster in the making”. Mike Sawyer, a safety engineer consultant, said if this rig were to go, the Deepwater Horizon spill could be just a “hiccup” in comparison.

This, to me, sounds like preparation for yet even a much bigger environmental disaster to happen in the Gulf. As it is, there have also been weather reports preceding this that the hurricane season could be more intense than the previous year. How much do you want to bet we will see an even larger and more dangerous hurricane take form in the Gulf than Katrina was, and it will be just large enough to take this oil rig down?

If that happens, it would give some credence to the idea I presented earlier in this blog about our government having some sort of weather control that it is using against our own country to manufacture these kinds of events. The reason? To further bring down the American economy.

Sorry, but with the things I have seen take place with this administration, everything since 9/11 seems to happen a little too conveniently to be just accidental. The California wild fires, the shut-off of the Central Valley pumps so America’s breadbasket would simply dry up. A thousand year flood in Nashville that our president made absolutely no comment about.

In fact, as serious as all these events were for America, Obama has only distanced himself further from them all, and has only come out and said something publicly about them when the going gets a little too tough for him. It is a pattern that I have seen with him, and that is why he does not ever appear to lead this nation in response to these events.

“We have been there since Day-1”. Yes, but doing what, Mr. Obama? With all the technical and engineering knowledge and skills BP has to build these rigs, you would certainly have to imagine they would have the ability to quickly cap the Deepwater well. But everything they have done fails for one reason or another.

Some have suggested that Obama himself may have caused this spill to happen, and others have easily passed it off. I certainly would not put it passed them. But whether accidental or not, I find it even harder to believe that everything BP has done to try to cap this well has only continued to fail. We hear now that the spill may go on until the end of the year. And now this about an even larger rig may fail.

Mr. Obama has said numerous times that he will take responsibility for these different disasters. But all we see is someone else getting fired. He says he will take responsibility, but he never really does.

It has been one thing after another with this president. And I am fed up. Obama has communists and socialists as czars in this administration. History has shown how communists will stop at nothing to create a food crisis that will kill off millions of people.

These oil spills, along with the Central Valley water being shut-off, and floods and tornadoes that are ravaging the midland, have that potential for doing the same.

Obama has done nothing to help clean up the mess in the Gulf. If he really means what he says about taking responsibility for it, let him finally do so. He should simply STEP DOWN and resign.

And Biden, Reid, and Pelosi would be no better. We cannot afford to wait for the elections. If we want to save America, we need to take action now. But we are much too polite a people to do that. We should learn from our founders…

MORE ON BP AND OBAMA
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal wanted more boom to contain the spill. He asked for 180,000 feet of it, got 90,000 feet, and then it sat on the dock. Kevin Costner and his brother are down in the Gulf with a centrifuge machine that could separate the oil from the sea water. Actor Stephen Baldwin feels that effort is being bogged down in government red tape. Jindal also wanted to build up “barrier islands” that protect the Louisiana wetlands, and that seems stuck in red tape, as well.

So…that unprecedented amount of dispersant—over 840,000 gallons worth , has been the main weapon against the spill. But if Obama is the great community organizer that he keeps tauting that he is, why has he not put together a comprehensive plan for dealing with the disaster, utilizing all the tools that are at his disposal. If there are ecological concerns, surely the ecological mess this is causing should supercede any other concerns any of these other alternative plans might have.

Obama is stalling on this. I am willing to be he is telling BP to make whatever excuses they have to for things not working. BP has good engineers. If BP had their freedom to get this problem fixed, they would because they would realize how much this oil spill would be costing them, and they would want to get it fixed asap.

What makes sense to me is that Obama will be giving them money for delaying the fix on this. The CEO of BP said he “wants his life back”. This is taking a toll on him, but not because they have not been able to fix the problem. It is public pressure he is getting because he is not allowed to fix the problem.

And BP is supposedly wanting to use more of this dispersant. Fyrwald, CEO of Nalco, whose dispersants are marketed under the name Corexit called the latest version of his company's dispersant, Corexit 9500, "safe and effective." But he also says that
"Our belief is, because it is a new approach, it needs to be done with a lot of testing to make sure there are no unfavorable impacts, and we encourage that."

Just tonight, on the Bill O’Reilly show, Dennis Miller had told Bill that Obama is a smooth talker, and I would concur with that. He is very smooth. Obama got his health care, but we saw his real nature in what he did to get it through.

Now that he has gotten it, he can now sit back and take a much easier approach. He is more in control now. He can even act more presidential. But do not be deceived by him. He is one that cannot be trusted.

The evidence of that is that Governor Jan Brewer is wanting to schedule an appointment to talk to Obama about the AZ Illegal Immigration law…and he is not wanting to do it. Please spare me if you think he does not have the time. He just cancelled a scheduled meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu. Over the past month, Obama has had ample time to golf, play basketball, do fund raisers, and wine and dine the president of Mexico.

He is just not interested in discussing illegal immigration (and he should be since it is he who is making it such a hot topic), or in protecting the environment, or helping the people in Louisiana who are being affected by this oil spill.

And just this morning (6/1), there are reports Eric Holder will be heading down to the Gulf, and Obama is looking to take over BP because of this problem. Now Obama’s take-over of our economy is starting to extend internationally.

That kind of power should be a real warning to us that things are not going well. He is getting far too powerful if he can do that…

DIR. OF MMS, S. ELIZEBETH BIRMBAUM, QUITS/RESIGNS
I find it interesting that while Obama so fervently defends how his administration was down in the Gulf and handling the situation so well there that the Director of MMS had to either quit or resigns, and that we do not know which it is, or why.

Actually, it is very indicative of what this administration does when things are apt to look bad for Obama. Someone has to be the scapgoat and gets fired. But if Obama was handling everything so well, then why should Birmbaum have to quit, or resign, whichever it was? And why the silence from Obama on it? What IS the real story here?

OBAMA THE REACTIONARY, NOT THE VISIONARY
Obama is not leading this nation. The reason he is not is because he is manipulating it. He has only done a couple real press conferences, and each of them has happened only because he had to. The rest of the time, he is criss-crossing the country holding very controlled town-hall meetings.

Any other president would be holding press conferences and speaking to the American people as a whole anytime an emergency comes up. Obama has NEVER done this. He only talks to the press when the pressure gets so great that he has to, and if Obama does come out to say something, he does so only half-heartedly, as he did during the election protests in Iran.

Look at the BP oil spill. He maintains in his press conference about it that his administration has been down there since day one. If people do not believe it, it is because he does not want people to know what really going on down there, and he finally held the press conference only because people were getting so concerned about what was going on. Obama’s temper-tantrum with his “plug the damn hole” comes not with exasperation with the problem not getting fixed as much as it that people were not leaving him alone about it.

Our media better start waking up and taking note of what is happening here. Obama is playing everyone in this country like a fiddle--especially the media who backs him so much…
