This is a poor decision; it has nothing to do with keeping prices low as much as political expediency. In fact, Obama has advised that his plan, making people use less oil, will cause energy sources to "necessarily skyrocket." What happens if there's a REAL emergency? Is he seriously going to put this country at risk just to keep his poll numbers up?
2. He's so concerned about the crises around the world that he's....playing golf again....his 60th time this presidency. A sort of in-your-face message to those who are counting. Let's not even think about how this looks to our enemies and the suffering. Ace:
One of the president's implicit powers is to decide when there is and isn't a crisis. If the president doesn't want to deal with genocide in Darfur, he just never talks about it. He behaves like it's not a crisis, and the weak-minded media goes along with that.
That's what Obama's doing here.
Wait, no it's not. Obama's just playing golf because he's never had a real job in his life and the presidency is no reason to give up his precious me-time.3. Behavior recently is so out of touch that people are beginning to talk; CNS regarding the whole narcissism problem:
ith one exception: Obama has no interest in the attention or praise of Americans who challenge his radical agenda. To make himself subject to their philosophy would force him to acknowledge a fundamental truth: His parents abandoned him because they were bad parents, not because America is a "downright mean" country. Obama has told himself for decades that America's selfishness forced his parents to make him a social outcast. To acknowledge now that the system was largely good and his parents were largely bad would fracture his fragile ego.4. The LA Times has a long very interesting read about an absolutely delusional university official with a bad personal financial history who insisted on trying to "green up" the power sources of 9 colleges under his purview in the LA County community college district. This story is demonstrative of the problems presented by those delusional folks who regard greening up the country as more important than the cost. LA Times:
Eisenberg, the district's executive director of facilities planning and development, conceded some mistakes but voiced no regrets. He cast himself as an environmental visionary and predicted that the college system would eventually achieve energy independence. "Somebody needs to be first," he said. "If the great explorers really had a map and knew where they were going, maybe we wouldn't have the result we have today."That story is absolutely insane. Willing to sacrifice everything to get to the point of being called green, these people don't seem to care about anything but their "vision." Who cares about millions of wasted dollars. Obviously not this dude.
5. "Why do you have a right to your money?" Yes. Why. And why work. Really. That's a real WTF formula.
6. The WSJ has an excellent summation of why Obamacare needs to be killed. And now. It's beginning to manifest itself in all kinds of nasty ways. In addition to an enormous cost that will cripple the country, it's murdering health care. WSJ:
Last year, President Obama gave Congress an arbitrary deadline to pass his health-care takeover legislation before the Easter recess at the end of March. This forced lawmakers to hurry their votes on a deeply flawed bill that very few of them had read. Worse, many made false promises to secure final passage.7. How can anyone pay a school superintendent over $500,000 a year? NY Post
8. Arianna Huffington, famous egalitarian liberal, gets paid a butt load for other people's unpaid writing. In these days of liberal union demonstrations and "fairness," Huffington refused to pay any more than a few writers, but then unfairly cleaned up financially on their work effort. When a group of writers said they were officially on strike, Huffington mocked them, saying, "Go ahead" because "no one will notice." Daily Caller.
9. And they're still talking about an internet kill switch. Delusional.
