TRT brought Bush up, not me.

I brought up the end of the Bush administration because it is the start of the Obama administration. After you went on your tirade I posted a link to show the price of gas when Obama took office. Of course, I mentioned a number of other areas of our economy which are in the process of skyrocketing upward as well, such as food, utilities and insurance premiums. All of which were intended to establish a baseline for the beginning of Obama's economic record. It wouldn't have made any difference if gas had shot up to $10 or 20 dollars a gallon under the Bush administration as far as the context of my post is concerned. The point was, gas prices had stabilized and they were back down under two bucks a gallon. The inescapable reality here is that Obama hasn't done the first darn thing to help curb gas prices by taking advantage of our own replete reserves of natural resources. It took him a while but, W did get gas prices down before he left office. Prices have risen in exactly the way I said they did and anybody with half a brain, knows prices have risen. You can't deny that, but you sure can blow the smoke when trying to discredit me with yet another personal attack. He vetoed the Canadian pipeline and he has initiated a war on coal. You want to admit that?

Obama wants high energy prices because he wants to push the green agenda. He's more worried about satisfying environmentalists than trying to moderate energy costs. In his mind the higher fossil fuels become, the more folks will feel compelled to look to the so-called renewable energy field for some relief. I'm smart enough to recognize the technology to provide any meaningful supply of cheap green energy does not yet exist. A point that seems to escape your notice. Electric cars are a complete joke, I posted a link nearly a year ago proving manufacturers have been trying to make a viable electric (battery powered)car since the 1800's.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_...ic_vehicle
Same thing with windturbines, solar panels, whatever. Name any form of renewable energy and any of the machines that use it, they are novelties at best. Now, if science catches up will the liberal dreamers and get it's act together and actually puts something viable on the market, it will be different, but, for the foreseeable future, the renewable energy field is woefully inadequate to do anything of substance.

If Obama gave the first flip about folks that are hurting there are things he could do to alleviate the economic crush. He sees himself as some great visionary that will go down in history as the president that saved the planet. I thought Al Gore was a loon, Obama is cut from the same cloth. And, he's wiling to make everybody suffer in an effort to force the premature emergence of a field of resources and machines that don't yet exist. And while all this stuff, which would be better suited for a new chapter in George Orwell's book, is going on. Millions of energy related jobs go unfilled because America, under the guidance of this president, has turned her back on two centuries of progress in favor of a fantasy they call renewable energy. Obama is here to protect this nation's citizenry and provide for the common good, not steer us away from everything we know. Obama has the "common good" of roughly 315 million folks in this land on his hands. And all he has done to help is shown in his idea of leadership and that is to give us a war on fossil fuels and grind his social justice axe.
