Doing the Liberal Hocus Pocus

14 percent. That, according to a recent survey, is the number of people who strongly agree that Obama is handling the gas price issue well. 14 percent.

Who ARE those people? How much Kool Aid are THEY drinking and WHAT are they smoking?

65 percent disapprove; and of that 65 percent, 52 percent disapprove STRONGLY. Heck, 59 percent disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy. 50 percent disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy strongly.

In nearly every campaign appearance, Obama pats himself on the back for his own handling of the gas price situation but the spinning is starting to make people dizzy. That’s because in nearly every campaign appearance, Obama is taking both sides of the issue.

No surprise, it’s what liberals do but apparently, there ARE 14 percent of people who are completely unable to see through it.

Here’s how the liberal double spin works.

Obama and his liberal/socialist lemmings tell us that oil and gas are the energy sources of the past. They’re old hat, obsolete, passé, and as hip as an 8 track tape. We hear that over and over again.

Obama and his liberal/socialist lemmings also tell us that, “We can’t just drill our way out of the problem.” We hear THAT over and over too, don’t we?

Obama and his liberal/socialist lemmings have been telling us that even if we WERE to drill here drill now, it would take 10 to 15 years for any oil produced to have a positive effect on the economy. In fact, Obama aside, liberal/socialists have been using THAT line for more than 2 decades.

Friday Fume

Well here we are at the end of another week of liberal stupidity.

While we can vote ’em out in November, we will never be able to fix stupid, so we might as well get used to ’em. I’ve found, if you take it all too seriously, without providing yourself a way to vent, liberals will drive you insane.

Join me, won’t you, in our weekly review with an attitude and LET IT OUT!!!

It’s Friday, and guess what?

Yep.

I’m fuming.

Liberals…Good grief…

In Colorado, a week ago, THEIR Governor, one John Hickenlooper, introduced his Lieutenant Governor, one Joe Carcia as a…

SEX STAR…

To an audience of…

SCHOOL CHILDREN!!!!!!!

Yeah, that’s just plain liberal stupid, isn’t it? One has NO idea WHAT Hickenlooper was THINKING but after THIS week’s introduction…

WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHAT OL’ HICKENLOOPER IS THINKING…ABOUT!!!

Just a few days ago…Hickenlooper was introducing Denver Mayor…one…Mike…HANCOCK…I can’t make this stuff up, folks…

Apparently, Hancock’s wife…Mary Louise, is something of a singer and…trying to impress…the assembled audience…Hickenlooper made some reference to Obama singing to Michelle…in the SHOWER and introduced HANCOCK with THIS obtuse line…

STEP RIGHT UP FOR OL’ DOC OBAMA’S MIRACLE CURE

So…Obama now thinks algae is the answer to high gas prices. Algae. Is that going to be sold by the gallon or the pound? It’s important to know because I want to know if I calculate miles per gallon or miles per pound.

Pond scum.

Algae or Obama…Your choice.

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. If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing alright. 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.

Pond scum.

Obama now says oil is a thing of the past. It’s passé, old hat, yesterday’s news.

“We’re not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices. Anybody who tells you otherwise either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or they aren’t telling you the truth.”

So…WE’RE not going to be able to drill OUR way out of the problem of high gas prices.

Really.

The Price of Gas is Causing Heartburn

Let’s talk about the price of gas, shall we? I mean, why not? Everybody ELSE is.

It’s going up.

There are many reasons for this.

Circumstances in the Middle East, Iran embargoing oil to Europe and England have oil speculators…speculating and whenever they do THAT…The price of a barrel goes UP. The prospect of war between Israel and Iran is also fueling higher oil prices.

The price ALWAYS goes up in the summer month because of the differing blends mandated by the EPA. Those blends can also vary from state to state but in FEBRUARY??? Gas prices have NEVER been this high in FEBRUARY which means, by the time it’s time for the summer blends, the price will go even HIGHER.

Of course, as the price of gas climbs, so too will the prices of everything else.

Socks? Price is gonna go up. Food? Up, up, up. Auto parts? Yep…Up. You name it and the price is going to rise because of gas prices. Everything you buy has to get from where it’s made to where you buy it and if the cost of transporting your Chinese manufactured socks is going up, so is the price of the socks.

There is a great deal of focus, right now, on the nixed Keystone XL Pipeline.

Friday FUME

Oh my goodness…it can’t be Friday already can it?

Yep…and just like we do every Friday, we ‘re about to look back at the week that was.

Friends…Patriots…

It’s FRIDAY and…

I’m fuming!!

2 weeks ago, right here in the FUME, I told you about the FDA and how they have labeled DIAMOND WALNUTS as DRUGS!!!

Well…

Now the FDA has some MORE news for you…

YOUR OWN BODY IS A DRUG AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REGULATE IT!!!

“Stem cells, like other medical products that are intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease, generally require FDA approval before they can be marketed. At this time, there are no licensed stem cell treatments.”

Court documents have been filed BY THE FDA which state:

1)      Stem cells are drugs and therefore fall within their jurisdiction.

2)      The clinic is engaging in interstate commerce and is therefore subject to FDA regulation because any part of the machine or procedure that originates outside Colorado becomes interstate commerce once it enters the state. Moreover, interstate commerce is substantially affected because individuals traveling to Colorado to have the Regenexx procedure would depress the market for out-of-state drugs that are approved by FDA.”

This is all because of a clinic in Colorado that does stem cell treatments to ease joint pain.

THE FDA COULDN’T BRING THEMSELVES TO STOP AT WALNUTS NOW THEY HAVE TO TRY AND REGULATE…YOU!!! IT’S INSANE!!!!!

Obama on a High Wire

The desperation of the Emperor to remain in power is beginning to show. For all his talk over the last 3 years regarding driving the car, Obama is about to drop the transmission out of it due to jamming the gears.

In the last couple of days, the Emperor has gone from 100 miles per hour into reverse without even slowing down.

First, it was his blink of an eye reversal on super PAC money.

A couple of years ago, the Emperor scolded the Supreme Court Justices during his State of the Union speech for allowing unlimited Super PAC funding for candidates.

Just a couple of days ago, the Emperor again talked about Super PAC funding being wrong.

Then, yesterday, Obama jammed it into reverse urging Super PAC financiers to pour money into HIS campaign.

Liberals are scoffing at any mention of hypocrisy saying if it’s good for Republicans, it’s good for liberals too – but in doing so, they must completely ignore the fact that while Republicans never took a stance against it…Obama DID.

HIS reversal on this topic is the very definition of hypocrisy.

Obama’s SOTU…Socialism of the Union

I believe that, last night, we heard the LAST State of the Union address from Obama.

(Waiting for the thunderous applause to die down)

Thank you…Thank you very much…Thank you…Please…Please, be seated…Thank you very much.

It was more of the same old thing. Lots more.

Hike taxes on the rich.

Fair share.

More government.

Honestly, one needs a socialist decoder ring to fully understand an Obama speech.

“The state of our union is getting stronger, and we’ve come too far to turn back now.”

Decoded: Substitute “socialism” for “Union” and you get the real message.

SOTU…A Look Back and a Look Forward

On Tuesday night, less than 48 hours before Obama has been subpoenaed to appear in a Georgia courtroom in a case regarding his eligibility to serve, he will deliver the 2012 State of the Union address.

We can hardly wait.

This year’s SOTU is expected to focus on “A Return to American Values.”

Obama? American Values?

Isn’t that an oxymoron of sorts?

“American Values, of course, being the “Oxy”…

Before we look too deep into the shallow end of the pool regarding the 2012 SOTU speech, shall we look back at the 2011 version?

Remember when…

BREAKING NEWS…OBAMA TO SQUASH KEYSTONE PIPELINE!!!

URGENT…BREAKING NEWS!!!

The word is, Obama’s energy department, spurred on by the EPA, will say NO to the Keystone Pipeline!

In a move that will anger unions and be met gleefully by environmentalists, Obama will NOT allow the Canadian oil pipeline travel through the United States.

This is a job KILLER of a move.

To try and get back in the good graces of the unions, look for Obama, in the coming months before the election, to strengthen other union positions.

The Keystone pipeline would have provided roughly 20,000jobs right off the bat and quite possibly more down the road. One of the, if not THE hang up, was environmentalist concerns where the pipeline would have crossed Nebraska. While officials IN Nebraska were more than willing to reroute, it seems they will not be allowed the opportunity to satisfy those with concerns.

In fact, Nebraska lawmakers, back in November 2011, voted to reroute the pipeline away from areas considered sensitive. Nebraska Governor, Dave Heineman signed that measure AND another bill which would have funded new environmental studies for the newly proposed route.

NOW, the Obama administration is claiming there just isn’t time to complete a new study and therefore, the pipeline will NOT be built.

One must look for bright spots where one can find them and while difficult in this case, there might be ONE.

As gas prices continue to rise, with crude selling over $100.00 per barrel again, and proposed EPA regulations adding more to the pump cost as we head toward spring and summer, people WILL take this into account during the 2012 election and THAT does not bode well for Obama.

ADD to the existing gas price issues, the problems with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and the near future isn’t rosie. OPEC can and probably WILL add to their production if the Iran issue flares up but, no doubt, they will do it at a price.

Meanwhile, in OUR OWN yard, no plans are on the table for drilling, fracking is being blocked at every turn and now, a pipeling through the U.S. from Canada is being squashed.

Canada will not allow themselves to lose out on this deal and who can blame them.

China has already expressed interest in the Canadian oil and Canada has said, should the U.S. NOT be interested, they would sell to China.

Once again, the special interests and environmental yahoos, have cut our national interest throats.

While it will most likely be too late to save the Keystone Pipeline, this reported move by the Obama administration, to BLOCK that pipeline, should be an even greater incentive to get out and vote republican in November.

With a majority in both the House AND the Senate, and a republican in the White House, drilling and tapping our OWN sources of energy shouldn’t be far behind.

Energy independence IS a national security issue and one that MUST be addressed.

Obama and his administration are hell bent on being someone ELSE’S best oil customer and that dog just don’t hunt.

Rather than pouring money into energy sources which are PROVEN and AVAILABLE, Obama has instead been FLUSHING taxpayer money down the green toilet.

Solyndra? The Chevy Volt? Now Beacon?

One by one, Obama’s plans for alternative energy is proving to be a debacle. Solyndra FOLDED and took %535 MILLION taxpayer dollars with them. The Volt has sold only 7000 units ALL of which are now under recall because they CATCH FIRE and Beacon, another solar company, after getting around $40 million taxpayer dollars has filed for bankruptcy.

At least with an influx of Canadian oil, China will be able to pump out more of those mercury filled CFL bulbs that environmentalists are INSISTING we buy.

SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THIS NOVEMBER THAT WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW SPECIAL INTERESTS TO OVERRIDE OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS AND LAY WASTE TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. MAKE NOVEMBER 6TH OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Tell Government to BUTT OUT of the Internet

Some websites will go dark today in protest of SOPA.

SOPA is a bill working its way through Congress which could lead to censorship of the internet regardless of its original intent.

The intent is to put a stop to piracy of content. Movies, music, entertainment in general has been a prime target for online piracy. Foreign countries have, for years, been grabbing this stuff and selling it overseas thus robbing American artists and industries of profits.

I think we can all agree that those products should be protected-  but SOPA, according to its critics, goes way too far.

The problem is in the language of the bill. “Search Engines” is a VERY broad term and one that is prominent in the SOPA bill.

We could go into great and confusing detail over the legal language and the possible meanings of it – and other sites have done that – but there is something much more basic which should be said.

With this bill, SOPA, and it’s somewhat less intrusive Senate Bill, PIPA, the internet would become, either in small or large part, regulated by Congress.

That should not be allowed to happen.
