President Obama's "All Of The Above" Energy Duplicity

There's been a noticeable sea change in the way President Obama talks about energy.

Don't buy the makeover. The new Obama is running from his record - and plans to revert to old ways after what he calls "my last election" with all the tools at his disposal.

To simply stick with the pro-green, anti-oil strategy was political peril. So Obama went surreal with an "all-of-the-above" energy agenda.

Obama's Environmental Protection Agency recently issued new rules that will force 32 mostly coal-powered plants to close and threaten another 36 facilities. The agency has also issued "blackout" regulations that effectively prohibit the creation of any new coal-fired plants because of unaffordable (if even available) technology upgrades.

That's the real agenda....

As it stands, it's tough not to see this "all of the above" talk as nothing more than hollow political posturing. In this case, Term 2 for the Administration would be walking back the talk.

If Obama is reelected, there is nothing to stop him from enacting his extreme socialist agenda -- just as he told Russia, "wait until after the election, when I will have more flexibility" -- i.e. he can do anything, including destroying the US industry and energy, and the entire US.

The big questions is, will conservatives be enablers of an Obama second term by not voting or voting third party.

You and I may not be crazy about Romney, but he isn't going to actively destroy the US, while this is exactly what Obama's agenda is.

>"he isn't going to actively destroy the US,

No, not actively.

Passively is another story.
