The Obama administration’s “hapless fool” policies
are, once again, praised in the media. If
you want a lesson in sycophancy just watch the talking heads effervesce over
the genius of our president and his troop of bureaucratic monkeys. There should be a new term for this kind of
political spin. How about the
Obamafuscation factor?
Recently, the mainstream media had an orgasm over a
reported 5% GDP growth in the third quarter.
Great isn’t it? Not quite. What they didn’t tell us is where Americans
were spending their money. Guess where
all that hard earned cash went to. That’s
right healthcare. Zero Hedge published
the following graph:
Not only were libtard, talking heads praising this misleading
report, they also attributed lower gas prices and the collapse of the ruble to our
feckless leader’s energy policies. Anyone
worth their salt knows the Obama administration has an axe to grind when it
comes to conventional energy. The EPA
has practically declared a war on the oil, gas and coal industry. We can attribute this oil boom to fracking on
state and privately owned lands. The
federal government had nothing to do with it, yet, they and their minions claim
all the credit. Nola.com writes:
President Barack Obama and his left-wing environmental allies
have declared war on America's energy sector. That's not hyperbole, according
to a
Senate committee's minority report; it's a quote.
"Setting the Record Straight:
Hydraulic Fracturing and America's Energy Revolution" the report
Republican staffers on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
released, sounds as dry as kindling. But it makes for some scary Halloween
reading.
The report harshly criticizes the Obama
administration's duplicity with energy production and supply. While publicly
extolling the benefits the United States has reaped from fracking, the
administration has done all it can to undermine it and other techniques.
The war is conducted on two fronts. One
involves limiting the land involved. Many green extremists want energy supplies
kept in the ground and when it comes to federal land Obama's bureaucrats are
doing what they can to help.
"The Obama Administration has granted only half the amount
of leases compared to those granted under the Clinton Administration and a
third less than those granted under the Bush Administration," the report
says.
Citing government statistics, the report
notes a 6% fall in oil production and a 28% fall in natural gas production on
federal lands between 2009 and 2013.
The second front involves mobilizing the
federal bureaucracy to gum up the works and trump state management. The
regulatory overload makes it much harder to get a drilling permit and much more
expensive to operate.
And finally, the coup de grace, King Obama declares he will, by
executive order of course, normalize relations with Cuba. This president has a bad habit of aiding our
enemies, while at the same time, alienating our allies. This should be a relief to Cuba’s benefactor,
Venezuela. That regime can no longer
afford to subsidize its totalitarian compatriot. But now, because of another misguided and
hapless policy, the Obama gives these two regimes a reprieve.
At some point and time, we have to ask ourselves, whose side
are these people on? We can only thank
God for American ingenuity and perseverance.
As long as we have that, this country can endure all the Obamafuscations
this administration and their minions in the media throw at us.
