Backpedaling

May 4th, 2011 . by Cary

No time for exact quotes and sources today – gotta get the munchkin up and moving – but today we hear that the operation was NOT practiced in an exact duplicate of the compound, because the US military did NOT have pictures. And Osama did NOT hide behind his youngest wife when the SEALs confronted him.

These are all retractions or corrections being issued by the O’Blivious administration.

Now, there is “discussion” about whether or not killing the leader of a group that purposely targeted innocent victims in attacks wherever they go was “legal” – give me a break. Just because someone is educated way beyond their intelligence doesn’t mean they know stuff. (i’m lookin’ at YOU, o’blivous)

What’s next? “Oh, and, uhm, by the way, bin Laden is only mildly wounded, not dead and buried at sea. thankyouallverymuchgoodnight.”

Yeah, I trust my government and the Mainstream Media – about as far as I can throw a three ton anvil.

Again, God is on His throne, and I know who wins in the end.

So – What’s New?

May 2nd, 2011 . by Cary

Seems the incumbent pResident has managed to find a way to up his “macho” score, on the eve of the start of the campaign season. No, the 2012 campaign – really, he’s still campaigning from 2008, so he needs to update the year references on his materials, but still …

Funny how bin Laden suddenly gets on the US radar, and we suddenly have clearance to send in a SEAL team to take him out.

Funny how the Pakis, who have been claiming to be our allies in this war kinetic action on terror manmade disasters, are very upset that ObL is dead. And, in the middle of one of their most popular towns. Ohmygoodness, was that who was living there? I thought he was in a cave in the mountains, far away from any Paki forces …

O’Blivious’ campaign speech – err, announcement to the country – that bin Laden was dead, seemed to place him in an awkward position – here is a symbol of the islamic leadership, dead, and a faithful follower of islam has to announce that ObL is dead.

Funny how, after all the insults and desecration of the American Fighting Man by this piece of pig bait we suddenly have to “follow islamic custom” and bury the pig within 24 hours …

Personally, I think he should have been wrapped in pig skins and dropped in a vat of bacon drippings. But, that’s just me. So much for islamic custom.

Finally, just because bin Laden has been executed doesn’t mean that al-kaida is no more – actually, there are many members of that force who would be willing to step in and lead them. Like the ancient Hydra, another head will show up. And there is no guarantee that the new leader will be more or less like the old leader.

I do know this: God is on His throne, and He will win in the end.

The “Magic” is Wearing Thin

April 25th, 2011 . by Cary

Well, it seems that the “magic” is wearing thin on our fearful leader. Now he’s saying there is no “magic bullet” to bring down gas prices.

First off, when Reuters misquotes an article it is itself providing and writing the headline for, then you know the MSM is on shaky ground.

Second, yes, Mr. O’Blivious, there is a “magic bullet” to lower fuel prices – make it more conducive to gas and oil companies to drill on our own soil. Oddly enough, even announcing that there will be more drilling will lower the speculation levels, causing prices to start dropping, and allowing the pressure at the pump on Joe and Jane Worker to ease.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in response to the president that the Obama administration over the past two years has “declared what can only be described as a war on American energy.”

“It’s canceled dozens of drilling leases, imposed a moratorium on drilling off the Gulf Coast and increased permit fees. It’s done just about everything it can to keep our own energy sector from growing,” McConnell said.

McConnell said more must be done to increase domestic oil production.

So, Mr. Resident, allow me to chamber a “magic bullet” into your arsenal of teleprompter-fed lines: “Today, I am instructing all involved agencies to reduce all costs for permits and filing fees for oil and gas exploration on United States soil, effective immediately. I fully expect all interested parties to begin drilling by the end of this summer.”

Not that any other president has ever taken my advice on how to shore up his reputation.

O’Blivious* and the Rise of the Gas Price

April 22nd, 2011 . by Cary

Talk about clueless:

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama announced Thursday that his administration would investigate to see if fraud or manipulation in oil markets was behind the sharp increase in gasoline prices.

Hey, O’Blivious, how’s about looking at the fact that denying drilling permits in the US is keeping us dependent on Foreign Sources of Oil? How’s about looking at the fact that if we could supply our own needs, OPEC wouldn’t be able to dictate prices and availability?

“We are going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Reno.

He said a government task force under Attorney General Eric Holder would “root out any cases of fraud or manipulation” in gasoline prices, “and that includes the role of traders and speculators.”

Financial speculation is widely considered a possible reason for higher oil prices.

Hey, O’Blivious, nice back hand towards the free market idea of supply and demand, and finding a way to make money in this (or any!) economy! “Financial speculation” is also known as investing, buying and selling stock, or even venture capitalizing, without which most businesses would be going away completely.

Investing allows a business to use capital for needed things – inventory, tooling, infrastructure – that it cannot afford on it’s own, yet needs for expansion and further gasp! success as a going concern.

I know, success of a going concern is anathema to a progressive socialist such as yourself, but bear with me.

Buying and selling stock (or futures trading) gives those without enough cash to directly invest in a company a chance to get in on the financial prospects of helping companies succeed, without a large outlay of cash. (see “investing” above) While not benefiting from large paybacks like a direct investor, the small gains and losses made provide enough incentive to keep cash flowing to and from the business sector.

Venture Capital, Mr. O’Blivious, is when someone with a lot of cash (kind of like your own Mr. Soros) hands a large chunk of that cash over to someone with a great idea, and lets them develop a business without limitations, except how much venture capital was infused. This has the biggest payback, most of the time, since none of the venture capitalists I know of would hand over cash to someone trying to sell ice to eskimos. (with the exception, obviously, of your Mr. Soros)

So – the “financial speculation” you speak of in an uneducated manner are actually Joe and Mary Investor, looking at trends and forecasts and placing money where they think they can grow it and pile up their personal wealth. As long as YOU, Mr. O’Blivious, continue to allow your Earth Muffin co-conspirators dictate how and when we as a nation drill for oil, the market for oil will continue to be a nice, wealth-creating area for investors to play in.

IF, however, you ever actually let the oil and gas companies drill on or around US soil, releasing us from the thumb of OPEC and their self-interest driven “limits” and “concerns” then the price of oil futures would drop so fast even your already dizzy head would spin. The price of gasoline would drop, allowing Joe and Jane Worker to actually afford more than gas in the “gas or groceries” weekly debate, allowing more spending by consumers everywhere, allowing the economy to GROW and PROSPER and leading the United States of America back to the top of the economic mountain. The cost of goods transported would drop, due to the lower fuel costs, and again, the economy would do nothing but rebound.

However, since it is OBVIOUS that your plan is to run this country into the ground, you will never allow the US to develop it’s own sources for oil, isn’t that right?

It’s Official!

When it takes longer to recover from physical exertion than it did to plan for, prepare for, borrow the tools for, and actually perform the physical exertion, then it’s official:

I’m old.
