This'n'That; April Twenty-Second #2; owe-bama's Lies!

Campaign Needs A New Euphemism!
   During the first owe-bama campaign of 'selection-for-election,' I sorta named it the 'Campaign of Fluff' to illustrate the complete lack of verifiable facts, policies, plans or proposals.  This new campaign for 'American Ruler' logically became the 'Campaign of Fluff-Redux.'  This latest euphemism is so 'last year' that a new one is 'a must!'  Why don't we call it the "Tour d'Lies?!?"  What caused this change-of-mind was the owe-bama lie about America having less than 2% of the world's oil reserves.  Some of the lies and ignored or distorted facts of the "Tour d'Lies:"
  • The world-wide oil reserves have been so under-estimated and so mis-stated that the United States may very well have upwards of 40% of proven, recoverable oil reserves.
  • The United States has 27.1% of proven, recoverable coal reserves; nearly three times the tonnage of our nearest competitor-Russia.
  • The most blatant lie of the owe-bama regime is the misrepresentation of domestic oil production.  This quote from the "Clown Prince" on March 11th:  "We need to continue to boost domestic production of oil and gas, "he said. "Last year, American oil production reached its highest level since 2003. Let me repeat that. Our oil production reached its highest level in seven years. Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached an all-time high. For the first time in more than a decade, imports accounted for less than half of what we consumed. So any notion that my administration has shut down oil production might make for a good political sound bite, but it doesn’t match up with reality,"
  • The "Clown Prince" is leaving out the part about US' total oil production has steadily declined since it's peak of 8.9 million barrels per day in 1985.
     Practically everything from the 'princely' lips--if not a blatant, outright lie--is an obfuscation of the true facts.  That being the case, nothing of the "Tour d'Lies" should be believed!!!
