This'n'That; January Seventh #1; Levin, et al

At Least Some Are Willing To Speak Out!!
    On my blog's homepage, I get 'blips' of the entries on those blogs that I follow.  Here are two said 'blips' from the reaganite republican resistance blog; the first from the blogger him-(or her-)self, the other is from conservative radio host Mark Levin:

Boner All Set Up to Cave on Immigration and Gun Grabs Now, Great

    In the wake of the ludicrous 'fiscal cliff' deal made by Boehner and McConnell -packed with pork, increasing the deficit by $4 TRILLION, and raising taxes on most every American while extracting diddly-squat in spending cuts- the Republican Party doesn't represent my interests anymore, yet no GOPer has the huevos to mount a viable challenge to Boehner's feckless 'leadership'-

Newsmax:

Ron Meyer, a spokesman for the conservative group American Majority Action, which was among several calling for Boehner’s ouster, acknowledged that House Republicans simply do not have a viable alternative to Boehner.

“It turns out no one else seems willing to pick up the mantle,” he said on Wednesday. "I hesitate to say it, but this goes to some degree to cowardice."

Yet yesterday's so-called 'fiscal cliff' deal included all this

pork for Obama supporters-

 

• $430 million for Hollywood through “special expensing rules” to encourage TV and film production in the United States. Producers can expense up to $15 million of costs for their projects.
• $331 million for railroads by allowing short-line and regional operators to claim a tax credit up to 50 percent of the cost to maintain tracks that they own or lease.
• $222 million for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands through returned excise taxes collected by the federal government on rum produced in the islands and imported to the mainland.
• $70 million for NASCAR by extending a “7-year cost recovery period for certain motorsports racing track facilities.”
• $59 million for algae growers through tax credits to encourage production of “cellulosic biofuel” at up to $1.01 per gallon.
• $4 million for electric motorcycle makers by expanding an existing green-energy tax credit for buyers of plug-in vehicles to include electric motorbikes.

How much worse could the American right do in upcoming battles on debt, immigration, and Obammunist gun grabs? PLENTY worse... but there's no need to take it on faith,

now you'll get to see for yourself.

 

....and this from Mr. Levin:

 

What Obama Deserves from Republicans is DEFIANCE, Obstruction, and Political Sabotage-NOT Collaboration

"What Obama deserves from us is defiance- what he deserves from Republicans in high elected office is obstruction -political sabotage- we shouldn't participate as political partners in our own demise, and that's exactly what's going on here- this is for all the marbles...

I don't care what Obama 'wants' -'Oh, I want 1.6 trillion'
- who gives a damn what you 'want', Mr President...?

    The US credit rating has already been downgraded, and it's going to be downgraded again- they're destroying the financial backbone of this country right before our eyes, and for what? For a few more weeks of unemployment? So more people can be on food stamps? So Obama can create his paradise? And take money from people who actually earn it... a high price to pay for this experiment, and it's a failed experiment- it's been tried over, and over, and over...

    We have president of the United States who's chosen to not participate in the free-market, capitalist system - never, ever-yet today he rules over it

    We have a president who's only success is as a demagogue- where he trashes his opponents... lies and decieves in a serial fashion... he gets elected, and somehow -SOMEhow- he's qualified to run everything! He's qualified to re-write the Constitution... how did that happen? I dunno...

    In America now we're supposed to despise people who actually achieve the American Dream... we're supposed to despise people who follow the law, follow the rules, though hard work, through intelligence... long hours... invest everything they have... many of whom began with very modest means- now suddenly, if they don't contribute to 50% of their income to Obama, to the Sentate, to the Congress, to the massive bureaucracy, SOMEHOW that's unfair- unfair to whom?

    Like the mob, they've got their hands in our pockets- they're the first ones there!

    This isn't only a financial disaster, it is a constitutional disaster- and that's the point, ever since the federal government became un-moored from the federal Constitution, it's become this: an insatiable leviathan monster, it can't stop- you heard Obama.

    It's not about the rich... it's about YOU- (Obama) hasn't gotten enough, he wants more...

    This fiscal cliff discussion- what happened? The Republicans sold their soul to a president who would make Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky proud...

    A president who pretends to speak for the middle class and to represent the middle class when he resents the middle class.. he resents this entire society- that's why HE's NOT DONE, he's going to push the envelope

    This is not America, this is not a constitutional democracy-
this is something else

    When they say 'government is broken' they don't mean because politicians aren't complying with the Constitution, they mean we need... a benevolent dictatorship'

The issue is no longer 'what can the government do, it's 'what can't the government do?'"

....and I thought I was one of the very few to blog my true feelings!?!

This'n'That; December Thirty-First #2; obama-Douglass

obama And Frederick Douglass Wouldn't Be Friends!
     I'm a voracious reader of nearly any topic; nearly any writer.  One of my favorites is Dr Thomas Sowell who writes columns for several publications.  One of my most disliked is "Clown Prince"--Barry Soetoro--obama, a person who's had not even a passing acquaintance with the truth, except as it's misconstrued within communism and his own brand of socio-fascism.
     Here, read this Frederick Douglass quote I found on Dr Sowell's site (1/2-way down the page):

Everybody has asked the question. . .

"What shall we do with the Negro?"

I have had but one answer from the beginning.

Do nothing with us!

Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us.

Do nothing with us!

If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall!

I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall.

And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also.

All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs!

Let him alone!

--Frederick Douglass

 

    Can anyone imagine the "Clown Prince" befriending Mr Douglass, were he alive today?!?  We can see the mistreatment 'Arschloch obama' has foisted upon the negro individual, the negro family.  When his predecessors expanded the "taker-class" of the Lyndon Johnson era from exclusively negro to any race that agrees to vote obamaKRATic in any future elections, the "Clown" gladly continued the tradition.

    I find it difficult--given my readings of history--that Mr Frederick Douglass would ever elect to be a republican as these quotes indicate:

 

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

--Frederick Douglass
....and this:

 

I recognize the Republican party as the sheet anchor of the colored man's political hopes and the ark of his safety.

--Frederick Douglass

If only we could get "Clown Prince" obama to renounce his allegiance to the teachings of Saul Alinsky; to renounce his communist, his marxist, his socio-fascist standards of governance and stand on HIS OWN TWO FEET; to break away from the support and dominance provided by The Bilderberg Group, how much better would the country as a whole--and the "Taker-Class" in particular--be for it?!?

This'n'That; October Twenty-Fifth #1; REALLY, Colin?!?

Again, General Powell Plays "RINO!"
    For the second time, General (ret.) Colin Powell endorsed "Clown Prince" obama.  For the second time, General (ret) Colin Powell demonstrated the attributes of a "RINO."  The first time Powell--as did millions of others--apparently fell for that hopey-changey bullshit; a slogan completely devoid of any real plans, any real details.  This time the General suggests that now is NOT the time to abandon the "Clown Prince" and his failed foreign policy, and his disasterous, socio-fascist economic policies.
    Powell is concerned with Governor Romney's proposed foreign policy would be 'a moving target.'  He's also concerned about the upcoming U.S. budget, saying:

"It's essentially, let's cut taxes and compensate for that with other things, but that compensation does not cover all the cuts intended or the expenses associated with defense."

Apparently basic economics is not a course taught in the Army's "kill-the-enemy-and-break-his-toys" school.
    There really should not be any concern over a President Romney foreign policy.  He certainly can't be any more inexperienced, any more inept than "Clown Prince" obama.  Given the many examples of Mr Romney's empathy, sympathy and concern for his fellow man, he certainly wouldn't have a foreign policy of starting armed conflicts in various Middle Eastern countries, embracing the 'Arab Spring,' embracing the muslim Brotherhood, supporting a foreign policy of ignoring murdered American Foreign Service officers for fear of upsetting the host country, et al.  How in hell can General Powell possibly think that a businessman who's actually run successful businesses; has actually been responsible for making a payroll on a regular basis can be worse for the American economy than a community agitator who admittedly cultivated confirmed communists like Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Valarie Jarrett, Frank Marshall Davis; who sought to continue to follow the principles of Saul Alinsky!! 

I fear the general thinks abandoning the inept "Clown Prince" obama for a successful businessman, will make him--the general--look like a racist, thus will continue to support a broken regime with a socio-fascist, communistic ideology!!
    General Powell has a well-storied past with his concern over how others view him.  During the Viet Nam War, the general--then a captain and a major--was honing his skills as a "suck-hole" or maybe a 'kiss-ass;' skills he would find necessary as Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff; as National Security Advisor; as Secretary of State.  When ordered to follow-up on reports on an action that would eventually be labelled the My Lai Massacre, Powell reported that there was not enough evidence to support further investigation!!  We know how well that turned out for Lt Calley!!  I could go on for several dozen more paragraphs on His General-ness, but suffice it to read this link!!
REMEMBER: Only eleven days until the most important election in American history!!

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; October 13th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 10/13/2012
barackingham Palace,
District of Corruption
October 13, 2012
    Every year around this time, American car companies start rolling out their newest, shiniest models, hoping to entice you into buying one. It’s Detroit’s chance to show you what they’ve been working on – the latest and greatest. And this year is no exception. They’ve got some pretty good-looking cars coming out.  But something is different this time around – and it starts with the auto companies themselves.  Just a few years ago, the auto industry wasn’t just struggling – it was flatlining. GM and Chrysler were on the verge of collapse. Suppliers and distributors were at risk of going under. More than a million jobs across the country were on the line – and not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers, small business owners, and everyone in communities that depend on this great American industry.
     But we refused to throw in the towel and do nothing. We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt. We bet on American workers and American ingenuity, and three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way.  Today, auto sales are the highest they’ve been in more than four years. GM is back. Ford and Chrysler are growing again. Together, our auto industry has created nearly a quarter of a million new jobs right here in America.  And we’re not just making more cars and trucks – we’re making better ones.
[What I'm not telling you: During this election season--with no positive record to run on--I've taken to grasping at straws albeit, broken straws!  This 'Government' Motors 'recovery' is a complete fabrication, from start to finish.  To begin, the reader needs to know the definition, the ramifications of the type of bankruptcy that General Motors was facing.
    Just the word 'bankruptcy' leaves a bad taste in one's mouth, but the action of bankruptcy is a viable, sometimes warranted business action at certain points in a company's life.  The definition, thus:

"The financial status of a firm that has been legally judged either to have debts that exceed assets or to be unable to pay its bills.  Formal bankruptcy may result in reorganization and continued operation of the firm, or it may require liquidation and distribution of the proceeds.  In either case, most security owners, especially shareholders, are likely to suffer losses."
 

Now that my subjects are knowledgable with that definition, we can proceed with the details of what actually happened in the whole sordid affair.  For many, many years previous, General Motors--as did most auto manufacturers--made it a point to 'roll-over-and-play-dead' to conclude negotiations with the various unions directly involved with the auto industry.  Finally, with union health care benefits; with union retirement and pension benefits; et al, coupled with a plainly inept upper management; coupled with a less-than-workable business plan,  General Motors--and to a lesser extent, Chrysler Corporation--bumped--face-first--into the required-decision wall!!  
    Now, here's what happened:  GM declared bankruptcy and prepared for reorganization while continuing to build cars and trucks.  All could have eventually been resolved--most probably not to the unions' satisfaction--without the regime stepping in and dictating the terms and conditions.  Here, it's important to understand what had happened previous to this corporate collapse:  
the various auto union hierarchies  provided both great financial and boots-on-the-ground support for my 2008 "Campaign of Fluff" as well as quietly, subtly forcing the union memberships to donate and provide boots-on-the-ground as well.  I owed them--BIG TIME--for, without that forced support, I'd have never been in the position to be your exalted ruler; to spread the Saul Alinsky principles of socialism throughout America!!
    When the federal government--read: I, your exalted ruler--stepped in to demand the terms of the reorganization outside the pervue of any bankruptcy court, ALL non-union individuals and entities were screwed-to-the-wall!! 

• Firstly, the several hundred-thousand GM bondholders were paid off at less than three-cents on the dollar, a huge saving for Government Motors; a devastating loss for said bond holders.  At the same time, GM common stock was driven to an all-time low of 18-cents per share.  
• Secondly, all non-union auto workers were put on 'layoff' and their healthcare and retirement benefits agreements nullified. 
• Thirdly, all parts suppliers-creditors were assured payoffs, though not nearly as devastating as the deep level to which I screwed the bondholders. 
• Fourthly, no matter what you've heard, the 'cash' bailout of Government Motors was only $6.7 Billion; we carefully 'hid' the rest of the $50 Billion in pork, used for GM asset purchases. 
• Fifthly, the vast majority of salaried employees of Government Motors as well as spun-off suppliers lost over 70% of their retirement cash benefits as well as all their healthcare benefits. 
• Sixthly, a nearly 20% equity position in the new Government Motors was 'awarded' to the various auto unions in payment for their combined support of my 2008 "Campaign of Fluff." 
• Seventhly, the federal government assumed a 61% (365 million shares) equity position in the new Government Motors.  For the taxpayer to break-even, the stock price will have to rise above $55.00 per share.  At yesterday's (10/12/2012) close, GM was $24.50.  
• Eighthly, on 12/31/2009, the DJIA closed at 10,428.05; on 10/12/2012, the DJIA closed at 13,328.85 for an increase of 27.81%.  The GM IPO on November 18, 2010 was priced at $33 per share, generating a Treasury payback of $11 Billion+, resulting in a reduction the 'taxpayer stake' in Government Motors to 33%, Whoop'tie-Doo!!  During the aforementioned period, the value of Government Motors' common stock DECLINED by 34.6%!! 
• Ninthly, so long as the federal government--read: me, your exalted ruler--holds said 33% stake, I can dictate  on-going terms and conditions.  I've already exercised this power:  Can anyone spell C-H-E-V-Y  V-O-L-T?!? 
• Tenthly, this 'investment' is going has gone the way of all my other marque investments, namely Solyndra!!  At the V-O-L-T's break-even price of $41,000, Goverment Motors can't give 'em away!!  Not even with a 'taxpayer rebate' of $7,500-10,000!! 
• Eleventhly, this "....created nearly a quarter-million new jobs here in America...." statement?  Completely misleading, complete BULLSHIT!  These 'created' jobs are merely replacements for the several hundred-thousand non-union employees 'laid-off' during the regime takeover of Government Motors! 

So, there you have an excellent example of Alinsky-esque socialism in a nut-shell!!]
    After 30 years of inaction, we raised fuel standards so that by the middle of the next decade, cars and light trucks will average almost 55 miles per gallon – nearly double what they get today. That means you’ll only have to fill up every two weeks instead of every week. It’s good for your wallet, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for the environment.  The technology that makes it happen will also help America stay on the cutting edge for decades to come. Just this week, GM announced they plan to hire 1,500 workers for a new research center in Michigan to help make sure the high-tech cars of tomorrow are designed and built right here in America.  I’ve also signed new bipartisan trade agreements into law, because I want to see more cars on the road in places like South Korea imported from Detroit and Toledo and Chicago.  All of this is something the American people can and should be proud of. It’s a reminder that when the American people put their mind to something, there’s nothing we can’t do.  So next time you see one of those brand new 2013 models on TV or on the lot, think about how far we’ve come together. Think about how – thanks to the hard work and can-do spirit of the American people – more of those cars and trucks are being manufactured by American workers at American companies in communities all across the country. And they’re going to save you more money at the pump. That’s what America is all about. When we get knocked down, we get back up. We come back stronger. And as long as I’m President, that’s what we’ll keep doing.
[What I'm not telling you:  These new CAFE standards will be a benefit if the regime-forced 175% increase in fuel prices at-the-pump continue beyond my upcoming 'retirement!'  To achieve these standards, the American auto companes are being forced to make more-and-more parts out of plastic; out of lighter, weaker materials.   This fuel saving will come at the expense of current passenger safety standards.  
  A portion of the announced Government Motors' plan to hire 1,500 workers for a new research facility in MIchigan, comes at the expense of a closing Government Motors facility in tiny, little Honeoye Falls (honey-OIE), N.Y.  Until their notification, the 220-250 employees at said facility did fuel-cell development and experimentation.  This action by Government Motors will be a huge, albeit temporary, set-back for the village.
    Those referenced bi-partisan trade agreements I signed.... just how effective; just how profitable will they be?  Have you ever seen the roads in most of South Korea?!?  In most places, two donkey-carts can't pass side-by-side; how the hell will ONE AMERICAN CAR navigate said cart-paths?!?
    I did make one correct statement in this entire blather opportunity: 
"When we get knocked down, we get back up." 
More correctly stated: 
"When the regime knocks down the middle-class, they get back up with a vengence at the polls!"]

This'n'That; June Twenty-Seventh #1; Whiny-Ass

"Clown Prince" Proves To Be A Whiny Prick!
    Jan Brewer won't play nice and let "Clown Prince" owe-bama win!!  So.... he's gonna take his balls and go home!  The past three years is wha'cha get when ya allow an election be bought for an inept, whiny-ass, Verdammte Arschloch!!

    Shortly after--the same day, in fact--"The Supremes" handed down their decision on the regime's lawsuit against Arizona's SB-1070, the "Clown Prince" cut the "287(g)" program benefits for Arizona law enforcement officers who want to check on an alien's immigration status with the Department of Homeland Security.  An owe-bama stooge in said department said:

"287(g) agreements are not useful in states that have enacted 'SB1070-type' laws."

    The Oval Orifice Arschloch 'cherry-picks' the laws he wants enforced, without regard as to the affects on anyone other than his own narcissistic self.  Now the wet-back illegals can commit all the crimes they want, nothing will happen in most states until said miscreants--no, the illegals!--actually kill someone, then they'll be deported; only to return in a week or so.  Hell--not only that--the Oval Orifice Arschloch has set up an 'Illegal Alien Complaint Hotline' so the the miscreants can complain to "Clown Prince" owe-bama his-own-narcissistic-self, personally each-and-every time a cop asks for proof of citizenship!!  The Verdammte Arshloch continues to fu*k the American citizen--particularly the taxpayer--at every turn, while he simultaneously kisses every 'fuzzy, brown ass' he can find!!!

    All "Clown Prince" owe-bama's actions of the past three-and-a-half years begs the questions:

    Why the hell do we even have a president, even one as disgraceful, as dispicable as the current one?!?
   Why the hell do we even have a Constitution, particularly when those in the executive branch--who're supposed to be the smartest on the planet--don't bother to read it, let alone protect-and-defend it?!?
   Why the hell do we even have a Congress, especially when it's as ineffective as the 112th Congress?!?

    Had "Clown Prince" owe-bama read Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" as closely as he did Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' he'd know that as the dictator he's become, he didn't--and doesn't--have to go through the hassles of the immaculation--or re-immaculation--process.  The position had already been bought for him; the election results a foregone conclusion!
We should--by now--have a clear idea what it was like in Adolf Hitler's Germany, he and the "Clown Prince" share a communistic dictatorial style of oppressive rule. The only thing necessary to complete the scenario is to rename the country: The Communist States of Bilderberg!!
'Splain to me again why YOU elected this Verdammte Arschloch!?!
Til Nex'Time....

This'n'That; March Eighth #1; Unremarkable Remarks!

The "Condemning-Conservatives" Tour
Compaigning on the "Taxpayers's Dime;"
"Clown Prince" Blather from Mount Holly, N.C.
....the Freighterline trucks that you’re making here at this plant run on natural gas, and that makes them quieter, it makes them better for the environment, it makes them cheaper to fill up than they would be with diesel. I hear you sold your 1,000th natural gas truck last November -– (applause) -- the first company to reach that milestone. And it was made right here in Mount Holly. (Applause.) And last year, this plant added more than 1,000 workers, hiring back a lot of folks who were laid off during the recession. (Applause.) That is something to be proud of.
    Relative to the trucks you're building here in Mount Holly, my regime has not taken a stance on the on-going 'fracking' controversy in New York and other states where it's not an approved method of natural gas extraction.  We plan to let the kerfuffle play out and take the side of 'the winners.'You're building trucks that use less oil. And you know that’s especially important right now because most of you have probably filled up your gas tank a time or two in the last week, and you've seen how quickly the price of gas is going up. A lot of you may have to drive a distance to work. Higher gas prices are like a tax straight out of your paycheck.  And for companies that operate a whole fleet of trucks, the higher costs can make a big difference in terms of the profitability of the company.  Now, here's the thing, though -- this is not the first time we've seen gas prices spike. It's been happening for years. Every year, about this time, gas starts spiking up, and everybody starts wondering, how high is it going to go? And every year, politicians start talking when gas prices go up. They get out on the campaign trail -- and you and I both know there are no quick fixes to this problem -- but listening to them, you'd think there were.  As a country that has 2 percent of the world's oil reserves, but uses 20 percent of the world's oil -- I'm going to repeat that -- we've got 2 percent of the world oil reserves; we use 20 percent. What that means is, as much as we're doing to increase oil production, 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.
    My blather about  today's fuel price increases is only a partial lie.  Oil prices--and by extension, the retail fuel prices--are cyclical in nature; driven by both demand and production.  What I leave out of every 'energy' blather event is that the national retail fuel price average has doubled--actually gone up about 105%--since my immaculation, and still climbing!!
    Those oil statistics I quote are complete obfuscations of the actual facts as well as the listeners' perceptions of their meaning.  I take advantage of the public ignorance as to the definitions of various numbers I quote.  When I speak of '2 percent of the world oil reserves....' I actually mean 2% of the worldwide amount of oil actually extracted, NOT 2% of the world's DISCOVERED oil reserves.  If what I say were actually true, wouldn't it stand to reason that we'd have to import 98% of our annual oil usage?!?
    "We're not going to be able to just drill out way out of the problem of high gas prices." 
    I like to make  that statement in my campaign speeches.  Most attend my blather opportunities due to my notoriety, not because they believe--or agree with--my message.  Look at the production problem logically:  From application to the first production well, the drilling process is several years long.  From that perspective, we'd have lower gas prices today if only that evil George W. Bush would have approved more drilling permits.  It's all his fault, I'm just following his lead!!  If the country will always have high fuel prices relative to the number of producing wells; why drill at all?!?  Why not just import 100% of our oil needs?!?  One of the most contradictory actions to come along since my immaculation has been the KeyStone XL pipeline.  It has nothing to do with oil exploration, with oil drilling, with oil production; it's only involved with the transportation of crude oil from Canada to the refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.  And yet, I refused to approve it even though the various federal departments could find no area in which the pipeling was not in compliance!!Here is the truth. If we are going to control our energy future, then we’ve got to have an all-of-the-above strategy. We’ve got to develop every source of American energy -- not just oil and gas, but wind power and solar power, nuclear power, biofuels. We need to invest in the technology that will help us use less oil in our cars and our trucks, in our buildings, in our factories. That’s the only solution to the challenge. Because as we start using less, that lowers the demand, prices come down. It's pretty straightforward. That’s the only solution to this challenge.  And that’s the strategy that we’ve now been pursuing for the last three years. And I’m proud to say we’ve made progress.  Since I took office, America’s dependence on foreign oil has gone down every single year. In fact, in 2010, it went under 50 percent for the first time in 13 years.  You wouldn’t know it from listening to some of these folks out here -- (laughter) -- some of these folks -- (laughter) -- but a key part of our energy strategy has been to increase safe, responsible oil production here at home. Under my administration, America is producing more oil today than any time in the last eight years. Under my administration, we’ve quadrupled the number of operating oilrigs to a record high. We’ve got more oilrigs operating now than we’ve ever seen. We’ve opened up millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration. We’ve approved more than 400 drilling permits that follow new safety standards after we had that mess down in the Gulf.  We’re approving dozens of new pipelines. We just announced that we’ll do whatever we can to speed up construction of a pipeline in Oklahoma that’s going to relieve a bottleneck and get more oil to the Gulf -- to the refineries down there -- and that’s going to help create jobs, encourage more production.  So these are the facts on oil production. If somebody tells you we’re not producing enough oil, they just don’t know the facts.
    The 'development' I speak of should be true development, not  a method of reward!  How much actual development was financed by federal pork paid to Solyndra?!?  I contend, very little!  And, Solyndra was but one of those we financed that filed for bankruptcy a few short months--in some cases, just weeks--after accepting the federal 'checks.'  In all cases, the corporate hierarchies involved were paid--and even received substantial bonuses--as many thousands were laid off--in some cases--with unfulfilled final paychecks.  Many contend--and in most cases, it's proven out--that these federal alternative energy SCAMS  are little more than rewards to the regime's donors, supporters and campaign workers. 
But how much oil we produce here at home, because we only have 2 percent and we use 20, that’s not going to set the price of gas worldwide, or here in the United States. Oil is bought and sold on the world market. And the biggest thing that’s causing the price of oil to rise right now is instability in the Middle East. You guys have been hearing about what’s happening with Iran; there are other oil producers that are having problems. And so people have gotten uncertain. And when uncertainty increases, then sometimes you see speculation on Wall Street that drives up gas prices even more.  But here's the thing. Over the long term, the biggest reason oil prices will go up is there's just growing demand in countries like China and India and Brazil. There are a lot of people there. In 2010 alone, China added nearly 10 million cars on its roads. Think about that -- 2010, 10 million new cars. People in China, folks in India, folks in Brazil -- they're going to want cars, too, as their standard of living goes up, and that means more demand for oil, and that's going to kick up the price of oil worldwide. Those numbers are only going to get bigger over time.  So what does that mean for us? It means we can't just keep on relying on the old ways of doing business. We can't just rely on fossil fuels from the last century. We've got to continually develop new sources of energy.
    Every country on the planet has ever-increasing fossil fuel demands, that's just a fact-of-life.  Doesn't make sense that the United States become more involved in oil exploration, oil production and oil refining?!?  My regime's complete lack of a beneficial domestic energy policy is--by design--forcing the country into the same circumstance as any third-world rathole.  Rather than continuing on a "Saul Alinsky-esque" socio-fascist path, logic would tell everyone--excepting those regime 'followers and supporters'--that America needs to be 'in-the-game!!'
    Constantly, the regime attempts to convince the naysayers that all these alternative energy sources will be workable subsitutes for fossil fuels.  They may replace small percentages of other fossil fuels, but there's no--across-the-board--subsitute for refined oil!  Can you imagine a solar-powered or--funnier, yet--a windpowered Boeing jetliner!?!  That's unrealistic, whether your name is George Soros or not!!  All those countries I mentioned as leaders in increasing their national oil demands and usage?!?  Did I tell you that they're also stepping up their oil exploration and production levels?!?  Didn't think so!!
And that’s why we've made investments that have nearly doubled the use of clean, renewable energies in this country. And thousands of Americans have jobs because of it. It also means we’ve got to develop the resources that we have that are untapped, like natural gas. We're developing a near hundred-year supply of natural gas -– and that's something that we expect could support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade.  And that’s why we've worked with the private sector to develop a high-tech car battery that costs half as much as other batteries and can go up to 300 miles on a single charge. Think about that. That will save you some money at the pump. And that is why we are helping companies like this one right here and plants like this one right here to make more cars and trucks that use less oil.  When I ran for office, I went to Detroit and I gave a speech to automakers where I promised that I was going to raise fuel standards on our cars, so that they’d go further on a gallon of gas. I said we should do the same thing on trucks. I have to tell you, when I said it, I didn't get a lot of applause in the room, because there was a time when automakers were resisting higher fuel standards -- because change isn't easy. But you know what, after three decades of not doing anything, we got together with the oil companies, we got together with the unions, we got together with folks who usually do not see eye to eye, and we negotiated new fuel economy standards that are going to make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade. That's nearly double what they get today -- nearly double. (Applause.)  Now, because of these new standards for cars and trucks, they're going to -- all going to be able to go further and use less fuel every year. And that means pretty soon you’ll be able to fill up your car every two weeks instead of every week -– and, over time, that saves you, a typical family, about $8,000 a year.
 Eight thousand dollars -- that's no joke. We can reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels. And thanks to the SuperTruck program that we’ve started with companies like this one, trucks will be able to save more than $15,000 in fuel costs every year. Think about that, $15,000.  So these trucks can save $15,000 every year. I want people to think about what that means for businesses, what it means for consumers. It is real progress. And it's happening because of American workers and American know-how. It's happening because of you. It's happening because of you.
    It's easy for people like me--who rarely drive; who never fill a gas tank--to demand higher CAFE standards.  It's far more difficult to meet those more demanding standards!  The increased standards are at the expense of affordable vehicles; the retail costs go up a bit each model year, so the consumer doesn't fully realize the increase-over-time.  Safety becomes an issue as well, with more-and-more of said vehicles being 'plastic' and aluminum rather than steel.
....and electric cars....  Don't get me started on electric cars!!  They're selling so well that 'owe-bama Motors' is curtailing Chevy Volt for a couple of months so over-zealous inventory can catch-up with dismal demand.  Who would want one?!?  They barely get TWENTY-FIVE MILES on a charge!  There's very few charging stations... anyone wanna get stranded?!?  Not to mention the battery fires!! Oh.... and talk about payoffs to my buddies!! 
You--of course--know about the $7,500 bribe that benefit Chevy Volt buyers ONLY.  
Are you aware that the regime is considering raising the bribe to $10,000 for Chevy Volt buyers ONLY?!?
Are you also aware that the average annual wage of Chevy Volt buyers is $174,000?!?  Shouldn't there be a "Buffett Rule" for Chevy Volt buyers?!?We’re also making it easier for big companies -- some of your customers, like UPS and FedEx -- to make the shift to fuel-efficient cars and trucks. We call it the National Clean Fleets Partnership. And since we announced it last year, the number of companies that are taking part in it has tripled. And that means more customers for your trucks. (Applause.) We're creating more customers for your trucks.  And I am proud to say that the federal government is leading by example. One thing the federal government has a lot of is cars and trucks. We got a lot of cars and we got a lot of trucks. And so what I did was I directed every department, every agency in the federal government, to make sure that by 2015, 100 percent of the vehicles we buy run on alternative fuels -- 100 percent. (Applause.)  So we’re one of the biggest customers in the world for cars and trucks and we want to set that bar high. We want to set a standard that says by 2015, 100 percent of cars, alternative fuels.  So we’re making progress, Mount Holly. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much natural gas, or flex-fuel or electric vehicles you have if there’s no place to charge them up or fill them up. So that’s why I’m announcing today a program that will put our communities on the cutting edge of what clean energy can do.  To cities and towns all across the country, what we’re going to say is, if you make a commitment to buy more advanced vehicles for your community -- whether they run on electricity or biofuels or natural gas -- we’ll help you cut through the red tape and build fueling stations nearby. (Applause.) And we’ll offer tax breaks to families that buy these cars, companies that buy alternative fuel trucks like the ones that are made right here at Mount Holly. (Applause.) So we’re going to give communities across the country more of an incentive to make the shift to more energy-efficient cars. In fact, when I was up in New Hampshire, in Nashua, they had already converted all their dump trucks -- they were in a process because of this program -- they were converting it to natural gas-driven trucks. This is something that we did in education -- we called it Race to the Top. We said we’ll put in more money but we want you to reform. We’re going to give you an incentive to do things in a different way. And if we do the same thing with clean energy, we can save consumers money and we can make sure the economy is more secure. So we’ve got to keep investing in American-made energy and we’ve got to keep investing in the vehicles that run on it. That’s where our future is.  And in order to continue this progress, we’re going to have to make a choice. We’ve got to decide where our priorities are as a country. And that’s up to all of you. And I’ll give you an example. Right now, $4 billion of your tax dollars goes straight to the oil industry every year -- $4 billion in subsidies that other companies don’t get. Now, keep in mind, these are some of the same companies that are making record profits every time you fill up your gas tank. We’re giving them extra billions of dollars on top of near-record profits that they’re already making. Anybody think that’s a good idea?   It doesn’t make any sense. The American people have subsidized the oil industry long enough -- they don’t need the subsidies. It’s time to end that taxpayer giveaway to an industry that's never been more profitable, invest in clean energy that's never been more promising. (Applause.)  So I called on Congress, eliminate these subsidies right away. There’s no excuse to wait any longer.  And we should put every member of Congress on record: They can stand up for the oil companies or they can stand up for the American people and this new energy future. (Applause.) We can place our bets on the fuel of the past, or we can place our bets on American know-how and American ingenuity and American workers like the ones here at Daimler. (Applause.) That’s the choice we face. That’s what’s at stake right now.  So, in between shifts, get on the phone or email or send a letter or tweet -- (laughter) -- your member of Congress; ask them where they stand on this -- because it will make a difference. And you’ll know where I stand on this. Let’s make sure our voices are heard. The next time you hear some politician trotting out some 3-point plan for $2 gas -- (laughter) -- you let them know, we know better.
    We're forgetting the affects of natural gas-fueled trucks in two segments, the military and the over-the-road trucks.  First the military.  Military vehicles from staff cars to pickups, to 5-ton trucks to tanks, must be 'multi-fuel (fossil)' engines, meaning that they'll run on practically any liquid the soldier can get into the fuel tank.  During those armed conflicts I get the country into, the vehicles can't always make it to the 'gas station.'  They have to find fuel--any kind of fuel--any place they can.  The military vehicles  must be of 'diesel-fired' design.  For those who don't know--including me-I was recently told of this--a diesel engine can start and run with no required electricity, with the exception of turning the engine over to start it.  Diesel engines fire by the heat developed in the compression stroke of the engine.  Natural gas military vehicles are not practical.  Natural gas fueling stations are not available on the battlefield!!
    The over-the-road trucking fleets are not practical users of natural gas as a fuel either.  The fuel tanks aren't compatible with travelling great distances.  The expense involved in complying with their CAFE standards have increased the trucks' purchase prices by at least $6,000, to an off-the-rack price in the $90,000-$100,000 range.  That's for a 'plain-jane' model with only the necessities aboard.  To upgrade to natural gas fuel will add another $10,000-$15,000 to the purchase price.  Pretty soon, the largest segment of the transportation industry--the 10-truck-or-fewer company--out of business.  When that happens, you'll be pissin' and moanin' that the government do something!!

    The only things I have to run for re-immaculation on are the various 'warfares' I use in nearly every blather opportunity.  We have to continue the use of class and economic warfares as they relate to the oil industry.  We whine-and-bitch about the subsidies Congress sees fit to give to "Big Oil," but without them, retail fuel prices would be even higher than I've driven them thusfar!!  Without the $4 Billion in annual oil company subsidies, the prices would be several cents-to-a-dollar higher than they were the last time you got gas!!  Many of those in Congress that I suggested you contact; are likely to support the continuation of said subsidies.  And rightfully so!!  They keep the fuel prices down a bit and any reduction in price is a good thing, whether I can claim credit or not!!

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; September 17th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 09/17/2011
barackingham Palace,
District of Corruption
September 17, 2011
    I’ve spent some time lately traveling the country and talking with folks outside of Washington. And the number one issue for the people I meet is how we can get back to a place where we’re creating good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer some security.  That’s the idea behind the American Jobs Act. It’s a jobs bill that does two simple things: put more people back to work, and more money back in the pockets of people who are working.  This jobs bill puts construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges and modernizing our schools.  This jobs bill puts teachers back in the classroom, and keeps cops and firefighters on our streets.  This jobs bill gives tax credits to companies that hire our veterans, because if you sign up to fight for our country, the last thing you should have to do is fight for a job when you come home.  This jobs bill connects the long-term unemployed to temporary work to keep their skills sharp while they look for a job, and it gives hundreds of thousands of young people the hope of a job next summer.  This jobs bill cuts taxes for every small business owner in America. It cuts them even more for small business owners that hire new workers and raise workers’ salaries. And it cuts taxes for every working family in America so that you’ll have more money in your pockets, and businesses know they’ll have customers to buy what they sell.
[What I'm not telling you:  Actually, what my American Jobs Act does:  It ignores all the projects that were to be funded with the previous $787 Thousand-Million PORKulus Bill that just had to be passed immediately to prevent the complete collapse of the American infrastructure and the American economy.  Well, we can see how efficiently I've spent that money!  The bulk went to pay off the public and labor union officials for their support and monetary contributions.  More went to buy General Motors and Chrysler Corporation.  During the time that the federal government became the largest auto manufacturer in the world, I told the  private GM bondholders to 'go f**k themselves!'  They ended up being repaid a mere, few measily, cents-on-the-dollar, while the United Auto Workers union received major stakes in both 'Government' Motors and Chrysler.  UAW-GM received 17.5% of the common stock; $6.5 Thousand-Million in preferred shares; a $2.5 Thousand-Million note to fund a trust that will take over funding of the union retiree health care costs.
    I have promised that each and every proposal outlined in MY American Jobs Act will be paid for!!  But, how you ask?!?  Any government at any level, does not--and cannot--create wealth!  The only ways any governmental entity can raise money is through entering into borrowing or through taxation.  In a single day, I nearly "maxed-out" the recent debt-ceiling increase, so borrowing is out of the question.  That leaves but one other avenue: that of taxation.  If the gullible public actually believes my on-going, blusterful blather (that these proposals will actually be 'paid-for'), the only possible way these proposals can be funded is with ever-increasing taxes to those who can least afford them: the American Taxpayer!!  So actually, where's the benefit here?!?  If I were to honestly look at all phases of the proposal, I'd have to admit that it actually does more harm than good!!
    As I've been doing for a week-or-so, I can recite all the rosey predictions of this bill, but at- the-end-of-the-day, no one believes me!!  If this were truly a beneficial bill, wouldn't the owe-bamacRATics in the House of Representatives be 'crawling-all-over-themselves' to sponsor and co-sponsor the bill in their chamber?!?  Sofar, not a soul has ventured-forth to sign onto the bill!!]
    That’s the American Jobs Act, and you can check it out for yourself on WhiteHouse.gov.  It will create new jobs. It will cut taxes for every worker and small business in the country. And it will not add to the deficit. It will be paid for.  On Monday, I’ll lay out my plan for how we’ll do that – how we’ll pay for this plan and pay down our debt by following some basic principles: making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share.  But right now, we’ve got to get Congress to pass this jobs bill. Everything in the American Jobs Act is the kind of idea that’s been supported by Democrats and Republicans before. And if they’re ideas you agree with, too, every one of you can help make it happen by telling your congressperson to pass this jobs bill right away.  I know some of them would rather wait another year to wage another election than work together right now. But most Americans don’t have the luxury of waiting. It was three years ago this week that a financial crisis on Wall Street made things much more difficult for working folks on Main Street. And too many are still hurting as a result.  So the time for action is now. No more games or gridlock. No more division or delay. It’s time for the people you sent to Washington to put country before party – to stop worrying so much about their jobs and start worrying more about yours.  It’s time to get to work and show the world once again why the United States of America remains the greatest nation on Earth.
[What I'm not telling you:  When you do your due-diligence on the American Jobs Act, do not be confused with the Representative Louie Gohmert (r, Tx-1) bill of the same name!!  The Gohmert bill has actually been introduced into the House of Representatives so--in essence--it's 'light-years' ahead of my bill.  The Gohmert bill realistically stands a chance of enactment, whereas my bill seems to be 'dead-on-arrival!!'  While I can't even brow-beat 'pinky' reid into supporting my bill; Nancy PORKlosi has spoken out--albeit, somewhat ineptly--in support of this massive tax increase proposal!! 
Don't tell anyone, but I think she's so stupid; so uneducated; so star-struck with me, that she actually believes this will have other actions besides relieving the America taxpayer of more-and-more of his-or-her monies!!
    The prime moving force behind my proposal is FEAR!  This is the first point in my life that I actually believe that I'll not be given all I desire!  There has been no point previously that I've not been handed anything and everything I ever wanted; I had but to make my desires known.  This actually started a an early age.  After failing kindergarten, I was just pushed along with others my age each time I returned to schooling in Hawaii, after being in Indonesia for part or all of a school year.  With the exception of said kindergarten failure, my mentors and handlers have been able to quash any investigations into my grades at any school level.  I can tell you here, that I managed to squeak by in those courses in which my grades couldn't be fixed!!  That's the primary reason you'll never find my grades from Occidental College, Columbia University or Harvard Law!!   Even with the formal schooling I benefitted from--with little, if any, 'sweat-equity'--I most cherish those eight-days I spent in Los Angeles, attending a national training course on the Saul Alinsky methods of community agitation!!! 
But--I digress:  The FEAR I refer to is the probability that I'll not be re-elected!  Early on, I found it quite easy to convince and confound the listening public with regards to the fundamental changes I had in store for the country, for the economy.  With a couple of exceptions, practically every one of my proposals has failed; the only meaningful success I've had recently is the actual election as "Clown Prince;" an election purchased by George Soros, Valarie Jarrett and their vast network of communist sympathizers.  As I'm being rediculed at every turn, the latest is the ill-concieved "AttackWatch.com"  If this doesn't illustrate the fear that my handlers and I feel, I don't know what will!!
    In conclusion, the Louie Gohmert bill is the one I sincerely wish I could 'get behind.'  Even though it goes against everything I've been taught; everything I support, it's the only bill in the past two and a half years that actually is a benefit to the American taxpayer; the American people!!  While I cannot support it--the political costs would be insurmountable!!--I'm sure the vast majority of my party will; they fear the '12 elections and the impact the "Tea Party" movement will have on them!!]
