BREAKING NEWS: Obama administration says it will cancel 77 drilling leases near Utah parks

[oldvike]

There has to be some criminality in what that guy did. He should be prosecuted if at all possible.

[karatemom]

are you sure one will be enough??

[thackney]

So much for getting back into geology.

The demand is going to be there geologist. President Obama will get the price of oil up quicker than some of us think.

But you're going to need a passport as well.

[JennysCool]

The House Judiciary Committee usually gets such things rolling.

I have no doubt that EVERY House and Senate member, Dem or Repub, has been hearing from his or her fatcat supporters today that Obama seems to be taking some ill-advised, dictatorial steps into the private sector economy.

I don’t think business on ANY level is very happy with Obama. And the business of America is business.

[DoughtyOne]

They ultimately want the nation taken down so it will never again be the shining beacon to the world. It has angered them greatly, that our dollar was the benchmark for the world.

They will destroy our nation if they can.

It’s up to us to simply lay out what they are trying to do.

I firmly believe there are a lot of people out there who are going to be shocked to see what they voted for.

Yes, there is the moonbat set. There are also well meaning people who are not as engaged as we are, who simply got blindsided by this slippery guy.

We are going to have a lot of new friends as Obama continues to unfold his glorious grand design.

[penelopesire]

Economy terrorist! What you want to bet he escapes prosecution by the Obama Justice Department now?

There will be lawsuits over this because the leases were just bid out in December. I guess the American taxpayer will be on the hook for that too!

(eye roll)

Give Obama and his merry men and women truth serum and ask them one defining question: “If it were not for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court upholding the Constitution and these rights would you have any compunction of first arresting Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Sarah Palin and Michael Steele and their families and then summarily purging them as ‘enemies of the state’

The problem with most Christians, conservatives and Republicans is they would say “No way Obama would countenance feeding these people to the lions.”

My answer to them: “You want to bet.”

NB:I can tell on Barack and Michelle’s face. You don’t realize how much hostility, antagonism and enmity that exists between the Obama’s and Sarah. They hate her guts and if they had their way she would be the first person they would liquidate.

Now for those skeptics out there, honestly do you think I am a raving maniac or is it possible, just possible that Obama is as ruthless and evil as I have portrayed him to be?

[Fresh Wind]

Well, Lord Obama (pyss be upon him) told us he was happy with gas at $4.00 per gallon. This is how he plans to get us back there.

[April Lexington]

I hope and pray you are correct. I suspect many Democrats are beginning to worry about the 2010 elections. They need to shut this fool up or get him out of the way. The birth certificate path would be much less sticky than booting out the first black president (or, is it second?). Just demand he show proof that he's qualified to serve. If not, Biden is president and sanity returns (and that's giving Joe a lot of credit!).

[April Lexington]

You are absolutely correct. Rush, Hannity and all of us Freepers would be rounded up in a New York minute to shut us up. Practice spelling GULAG.

[BARLF]

No, it's more directed to the ones that think dems is just plain 'ol stupid and ignorant and not diabolical in their plans

Adj. 1. diabolical - showing the cunning or ingenuity or wickedness typical of a devil; "devilish schemes"; "the cold calculation and diabolic art of some statesmen"; "the diabolical expression on his face"; "a mephistophelian glint in his eye" devilish, diabolic, mephistophelean, mephistophelian evil - morally bad or wrong; "evil purposes"; "an evil influence"; "evil deeds"

I think "diabolical" works fine.

2. diabolical - extremely evil or cruel; expressive of cruelty or befitting hell; "something demonic in him--something that could be cruel"; "fires lit up a diabolic scene"; "diabolical sorcerers under the influence of devils"; "a fiendish despot"; "hellish torture"; "infernal instruments of war"; "satanic cruelty"; "unholy grimaces" demonic, fiendish, satanic, unholy, hellish, infernal, diabolic evil - morally bad or wrong; "evil purposes"; "an evil influence"; "evil deeds"

I never doubted you knew the score.)

[crusty old prospector]

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. EOG Resources was spun-off from Enron Corporation in the 1990’s to raise cash to manipulate the electricity futures market. They are two separate companies - one continues to flourish, one has disappeared.

[April Lexington]

Those of us who were engaged in the Cold War know what happened and know what could happen here. These are not rational Americans. They are creatures of a system that failed in its homeland but is on steroids over here.

[Fawn]

What a moron! How is that supposed to HELP? I only see lots of pain.

[BARLF]

[SoldierDad]

I’d recommend Maker’s Mark instead.

[techno]

And don’t forget Bill Ayres asserting in a Weather Underground meeting that once the takeover was achieved the government would have to guard against ‘counterrevolution’ and must be prepared to purge 25m Americans. And this is the guy that allowed Obama to head the Annenberg Challenge and dole out over $100m with no appreciable increase in the quality of education in Chicago.

Now let me ask you out there: “If you knew intimately or had associations with someone who advocated that 25m Americans be purged, do you think that tidbit might disqualify you for POTUS?

[MeanWestTexan]

I know exactly what I am talking about. (And it was the other way around on the spin off.)

EOG is one of the few Democrat-connected oil companies.

(Oxy is the other.)
