Jerry Brown touts solar power as today's Hanukkah 'miracle'
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 12/19/11 | Torey Van Oot

Posted on 12/19/2011 6:01:03 PM PST by SmithL

Gov. Jerry Brown sees a modern day message for proponents of solar power in the story of Hanukkah. Speaking at the Capitol Menorah Lighting this morning, the Democratic governor cast the eight-day Jewish holiday, which begins tomorrow, as a good time to reflect on "the whole idea that we're running out of oil so we need a miracle."

Jerry should have taken better care of himself when he was younger,especially his mind.

Me thinks Mr. Brown needs to come up with some miracle money to keep those solar power plants in business.

California should not be allowed any oil until they bring on line all the wells they have capped.

I hope Brown was celebrating the “miracle” of Solyndra, which enriched his supporters and Obama’s. Even that would be less disgusting than what it sounds like he is saying.

“Time to recall this dingbat.”

I disagree! We need to let him and his party administer the coupe de grace to this state so that the moron voters will finally understand the error of their ways. It has to get a lot worse so that it can find it’s way back to being #1.

Sounds like Moonbeam hasn’t let up on the drink and drugs. Reality seems so elusive for him.

He got this message from the United Nations, as he has just got back from a visit with them.

I understand what you’re saying, although this would only be effective if the CA GOP actually allow Conservatives to run the show... then again, if we put up a Recall candidate, it’d probably end up being another execrable Socialist RINO asshat like Ah-nold (instead of someone like Tom McClintock).

“the whole idea that we're running out of oil so we need a miracle.”

Pretty well sums up liberal logic. We are unlikely to be able to petition the Almighty to provide a miracle. He gave us minds capable of solving problems through the application of imagination and hard work.

Although he didn't intend any malice, Brown's analogy of the solar vs. oil power debate to the story of Hanukkah is totally inappropriate, an insult to Jewish history and the meaning of the holiday.

I just hope he took care not to repeat his friend Obama's gaffe of lighting all the candles on the menorah at the same time.
