I can’t think of any president who has actually given interviews saying that he “needs” or “deserves” another term. Doesn’t this sound weird? Is this crazy or is it just me? Forget about the country....it’s all about “me.”
Any improvement in the economy recently, is not BECAUSE of Barack Hussein Obama, but in SPITE of him.
He has done just about everything he can to make energy sources to theis country expensive, scarce and unreliable. Spending huge amounts in the form of subsidies and government-funded loans to impractical schemes with no viable business model, allowing more and more coal-fired power generation plants to be closed because of fuel costs and emission concerns, denying access to nearby sources of petroleum because of faulty “environmental” concerns that had been ruled as having no impact previously, and looking around with unconcealed avarice at simply expropriating the major source of venture capital in this country, Obama has forced the expectations lower and lower.
But a strange thing happened on the way to the forum. New technology has unlocked vast supplies of natural gas that was previously inaccessible, and a similar technology promises to do the same for petroleum sources right within our own national borders. Wealth, real wealth, is created by the conversion of these “fossil fuels” into real products and powering services in every corner of this country. It takes truly stupendous amounts of energy, from whatever source and in many different forms, to drive the machinery of any modern society, from something as humble as a hand-held flashlight, to fabrication of vast quantities of machinery to do the bidding of millions of knowledgeable and capable operators.
We have given the opportunity for a certain segment of our population to show the rest of how things should be done. Either (A) the things that were attempted have no positive value to society, or (B) the manner in which these things were attempted was handled in such clumsy ways, as to preclude EVER being successful. Most likely (C), both of the above.
Time to let the adults back into the room. That is, if they are still available. So far, they do not seem to be responding with much enthusiasm.
