Sarah Palin keeps hitting...
Sarah Palin pummeled Team Obama over the news yesterday that the government will fund Brazilian offshore oil development and research but deny US companies access to oil deposits off our own shores.
From her Facebook page, via Free Republic:
YOUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK: FIRST CARS, NOW FOREIGN OIL.
Today's Wall Street Journal contains some puzzling news for all Americans who are impacted by high energy prices and who share the goal of moving us toward energy independence.
For years, states rich with an abundance of oil and natural gas have been begging Washington, DC politicians for the right to develop their own natural resources on federal lands and off shore. Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits) and the resulting royalties and taxes would provide money for federal coffers that would potentially off-set the need for higher income taxes, reduce the federal debt and deficits, or even help fund a trillion dollar health care plan if one were so inclined to support such a plan.
So why is it that during these tough times, when we have great needs at home, the Obama White House is prepared to send more than two billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, can drill off shore and create jobs developing its own resources?
That's all Americans want; but such rational energy development has been continually thwarted by rabid environmentalists, faceless bureaucrats and a seemingly endless parade of lawsuits aimed at shutting down new energy projects.
I'll speak for the talent I have personally witnessed on the oil fields in Alaska when I say no other country in the world has a stronger workforce than America, no other country in the world has better safety standards than America, and no other country in the world has stricter environmental standards than America.
Come to Alaska to witness how oil and gas can be developed simultaneously with the preservation of our eco-system. America has the resources. We deserve the opportunity to develop our resources no less than the Brazilians. Millions of Americans know it is true: "Drill, baby, drill." Alaska is proof you can drill and develop, and preserve nature, with its magnificent caribou herds passing by the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), completely unaffected. One has to wonder if Obama is playing politics and perhaps refusing a "win" for some states just to play to the left with our money.
The new Gulf of Mexico lease sales tomorrow sound promising and perhaps will move some states in the right direction, but we all know that the extreme environmentalists who serve to block progress elsewhere, including in Alaska, continue to block opportunities.
These environmentalists are putting our nation in peril and forcing us to rely on unstable and hostile foreign countries. Mr. Obama can stop the extreme tactics and exert proper government authority to encourage resource development and create jobs and health benefits in the U.S.; instead, he chooses to use American dollars in Brazil that will help to pay the salaries and benefits for Brazilians to drill for resources when the need and desire is great in America.
Buy American is a wonderful slogan, but you can't say in one breath that you want to strengthen our economy and stimulate it, and then in another ship our much-needed dollars to a nation desperate to drill while depriving us of the same opportunity.
- Sarah Palin FYI: Barack Obama's top supporter George Soros is heavily invested in Brazilian oil- Petrobras. Soros made a major purchase last week before the news broke that the US would invest in the Brazilian oil company.

Sarah is a great communicator which is because God has blessed her with clear vision and the sense of fearlessness.
She inspires me to hope for America.
The medias has done a fairly effective job of calling her a whack job, a loose canon, ... and various personal slurs ... ; and the reason why is ...
No Washington insider is she.
Do not be deceived or believe the lies about her.
Thank you God, for Your Mercy. In Jesus name. Amen.
And only right wing extremists would think that smells like a political payoff by Obama to Soros, whose money financed much of Obama’s presidential campaigning through 3rd party groups.
Must be a coincidence.

Sorry, I just cut and pasted it.
Gosh, Soros sure is lucky.
No way he could have got insider infomation.
‘Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits)...’
LOL. With health benefits! She’s such a ball-breaker. Go, Sarah!!!
HAHAHA>>>
0Bama just got beat up by a girl!
(a really awesome girl, err, woman)
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The President of the U. S. goes spending
And when he spends, George Soros goes - ah
When he spends, every one likes Obama
He talks so cool and sways so gentle
The MSM gives just him passes, and more he gets passes, Soros goes,- ooh
(ooh) but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him to stop it
Yes he takes my money gladly
But each billion that goes into the Brazilian sea
Goes straight ahead to Soros, not to me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The President of the US goes spending
And when he spends, Soros smiles - but he doesnt see (doesnt see)
(he just doesnt see, he never sees me,...)
Joe Scarborough is an idiot. He’s been in bed with MSDNC for way too long, I guess all that liberal hate from that network has finally rubbed off on him. I guess the saying is true, you sleep with dogs, your gonna get fleas. Perhaps Joe should read the bill, Sarah obviously has. If only 1 person watches his show, does it make a sound
I just thought about that 2 seconds ago. WOULD NOT THAT BE CALLED INSIDER INFORMATION??? People go to jail for that. So...when do we see Soros in Jail? I am sure..soon sarc
SPREAD THE WORD!
YEAH, BABY!
Can’t drill our own but we can send our money to BRAZIL????
These people are freaking loons.
Alaskan oil is easy. Near offshore oil is relatively easy. If federal lands were open to exploration, it is likely that more easy oil would be discovered. Unfortunately, keeping Americans dependent on foreign oil appears to be the official policy.
A good statement by Sarah, but that was entirely unnecessary. We don't need even oblique references to Obamacare as a possibility.
But our nonsense energy policy is an area where she could really raise public awareness with a long string of communications pointing out the cost of energy dependence, and the lost opportunities of not using our own resources.
no problemo - it simply was quite hugh...
‘Scarborough says Sarah isn’t smart because she doesn’t read enough.’
Scarborough is just pissed because his lame book tanked.
(the introduction, realization, recognition)
Billions for foreign drilling, debts for Americans.
