Barack Obama’s supporters praised him for having it in his joint-session speech last night on job creation. A national economy needs plenty of it in order to expand. Consumers consider it one of the most pressing economic issues they face. Yet Obama’s speech was curiously absent of any mention of one word … energy.
That’s right; you could look it up. There wasn’t one single mention in a speech about jobs and economic stimulation that addressed the need for the energy necessary to support it. Never mind that part of the problem in the economy comes from a blunted demand that can be directly associated in part with the erosion in buying power created by rapidly-rising fuel costs, or that a significant share of the reluctance to invest in American economic expansion comes from the considerable uncertainty of regulatory assaults on energy production and the impact on future energy costs.
Obama simply acted as if the problem doesn’t exist at all.
If there was one change from his first stimulus proposal, it’s the omission of energy as a closely-linked issue. In 2009, Obama tried to argue that his assault on domestic production and use of coal and oil would be offset by an explosion of green-energy production that would replace our need for hydrocarbons. He threw billions of dollars into subsidies for companies to pursue solar, wind, and biomass energy, technologies that have been around for decades and have never proven sustainable on a cost or on a mass-production level, promising that this time it would work.

” resign “
You beat me to it
LOL...I think it’s the only correct answer!
Rush was saying yesterday that Michelle Bachmann wants to get gas below two dollars. Other Republicans, and boss tweed Obama, can’t grasp the concept of how spectacular that one thing would be for our economy.
“terrorist”
Oh, wait. That word is always missing from his speech.
One word Obama did not cover is how many jobs his plan will create. Without such a job goal, his plan was just an election speech.
Agriculture.
Stewardshipaccoutabilityresponsibilitymyfault.
I also noticed that he didn’t say the word “Magurky” once throughout that whole thing. Very telling.
“terrorist”
Oh, wait. That word is always missing from his speech.
Do terrorists ever call themselves terrorists ?
“moose”, “cheese” and “sister”.
“Solyndra”
good point.
I quit?

Another Groundhog Day speech from Zero.
You are correct. Solyndra would immediately come to mind if Obama started mentioning energy, especially green energy.
Oh wait, that's 3 words. Sorry.
