Obama’s Boss Sees Silver Lining in BP Spill

Reuters is reporting that Brazil stands to benefit from the BP oil spill catastrophe as the US moratorium makes more rigs available for other countries.

Even as an ecological catastrophe makes the future of U.S. offshore drilling less certain, Brazil is plowing ahead with a $220 billion five-year plan to tap oil fields even deeper than BP’s (BP.L) ill-fated Gulf well, which is still leaking crude.

It’s estimated that thirty five rigs are now sitting idle in the Gulf of Mexico. Brazil is already getting inquiries from companies wanting to move their rigs there. Brazil’s state oil company, Petrobras already produces about a fourth of the world’s deep water oil . . .

Soros Fund Management, LLC holds a stake in Petrobras of approximately $900 million as of December 31, 2009 . . .

Soros also owns quite a lot of real estate in Brazil. Soros’ Adecoagro, which invests in renewable energy, owns or leases about 840,000 acres of farmland in Argentina . . .

Obama's Jihad: Jakarta to the Whitehouse (disturbing book title change)

How many Americans know that when Obama had his bloviating screed "The Audacity of Hope" was translated into Indonesian - the title went from "The Audacity of Hope" to "Jihad: From Jakarta To The Whitehouse". The man is dishonest about his Islamic leanings. Check this our from An American expat Living in Indonesia:

When I was six, my Dad built a boat for me-- 10 feet long, 4 feet in beam. You'd call it rowboat, but we called it a "bat-tow" ( darned if I can spell it correctly, or even locate the proper spelling ) with oarlocks and a bench midships. The transom was reinforced for an outboard motor, but I wasn't entrusted with one of those 'till a few years later.

I would collect soft drink bottles on the beach, and when I had 25 of them, load the boat and row to the pier in the Village. Yes, we are talking about being at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean.

Climb a vertical wood ladder- no guard cage, no rails, no nothin' for safety- about a twenty-foot climb-- and haul my booty to the deck. The tourists were always impressed by the little white-haired, nut-brown ( yes, my black friends often told me I "passed," I was so dark... ) beach boy.

From there to the Community Market, to redeem the bottles for reuse at the Coke plant on the mainland.

Then, to Ward's drugstore. where 25 cents would buy me one hot dog and a coke for lunch.

Then, row back home...

Mr. Greenhut, I'm not letting it go. And nothing you write ( however clumsily and prejudicially you set it up ) is going to convince me otherwise.

It's one thing to be tolerant, to look the other way- and quite another to be forced to agree to, and even cheerlead for something you don't support.

Marriage and the family are the basic building blocks of society, even predating history- and you want us to agree to standing it on its head.

No sale- and I'll oppose it no matter what you write, or what abominations of law you get corrupt judges to agree to.

Enough is enough with this nonsense.

I'm just an old Cyber Cowboy ( and construction man, and business man, and gun dealer and wrecker driver, and a few other things you could glean if you hunted far enough... ) who followed Terri's case back when nobody cared:

Then, when it became a cause celeb. I shifted in to high gear, and pseudo-blogged it, in all its sad, sorry, sordid detail:

While I have never encountered a more divisive issue ( people I formerly regarded as allies and friends did not merely disagree with me, they stalked me across the internet, and to this day, hate me for standing up for Terri... )

I still stand by what I said, as it was breaking:

"She was killed for being an inconvenient woman, and for money."


And yes, I will remember...
