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.

I'm not offended at all, FRiend. I've been swamped a bit myself, and I admit I've been a little too quick lately with the ping 'trigger finger'. :o)
I've removed your name from my ping list per your request.
So why isn’t soros being arrested for insider trading?

Thank you Mamzell - Please keep this question going. Seems pretty important and may be we can get somewhere with that.
If she can do this for three years, she can walk into the Oval Office.

You don’t seem to have a tag line. Maybe you could use that question?
I have tried to remove the HTML from e-mails and replace it with FR friendly HTML and ended up with a mess that looked like an encryption. If I post it again I will try to fix it. Chop it down from the Paul Bunyan font.
Glad to see you can copy and paste. Your point is?
I read your page. Isn't that why you made it? I think I understood the meaning... truth, realization, acceptance...?
Was my initial post too direct? Or is it me?
Pardon if my C&P offended you. [p25]
Thanks for the ping!
No offense taken. Yes, my profile page is there to be read. It was simply confusing as to why you quoted a small three word portion of it with no comment. I couldn’t find a contextual connection from that to the thread or our previous exchanges. If it meant something to you that is great. You gave no indication of what it was it gave you an understanding of. I’m not a fan of riddles.
Too high for a fender, must be his tail.
Well put.
I think it’s a methane capture device but it’s not connected to a collection tank.
Perhaps it is best if I (truthfully) say that it was primarily as an homage to you and your hp post. (though I COULD have said that my fingers were tired or I was saving energy)
Exactly. bttt
Why do liberals hate America? What do they think they will achieve if they knock out institutions and replaced them with a regime that threatens to monitor your every move and thought. I thought their battle cry was “Freedom.”
Communists ALWAYS hate America - as simple as that.
Go, Sarahcuda!
Oh, yeah, I saw this covered on cable news this morning. /s
