Obama’s Gulf Crisis Response: Insanity Squared
As Ronald Reagan would say, “There you go again Obama.” Obama is trying to turn a tragedy and national emergency in the Gulf into an opportunity to pass yet another massive tax that will bury our economy. Does it ever end? Every single crisis is an opportunity to raise taxes, damage business, and redistribute the wealth. Now Obama is using the Gulf oil crisis to try to ram through “cap and trade” legislation that will greatly increase taxes and prices for all forms of energy but especially hit the middle and upper classes and business owners the hardest.
Has America picked up on a pattern yet? None of this has anything to do with the crisis. It’s all about a Marxist plan to overwhelm the system and redistribute the wealth. The crises are just Obama’s “opportunities.” They are his WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION to provide cover for massive new taxes that take away money and power from the people – especially business owners – and hand it to big government, big unions, and Obama’s masses of voters (the poor, entitlement addicts, government employees – anyone that desperately needs government to survive).

Housing, Oil, Freddie, Fanny & Spain – Add it Up!
By Bill Glynn
Now we all see the oil disaster and everyone is focused on the government failure and ongoing oil being spilled into the Gulf everyday. BP for certain will pony up the money to settle lawsuits that will help stave off massive unemployment. But the owners will get the majority of that while thousands of their employees will join the ranks of the unemployed – catastrophic to the economy. Not only is the government pandering Cap & Trade-type policies, it is also forcing the oil companies to put up billions into yet another government slush fund. What do you think is going happen at the pumps? Gas prices will go up! Aggregating the issues that just keep on coming should drown out the pandering and publicity around positive signs for the economy but that would hurt consumer confidence, wouldn’t it? The elections are coming – and the airwaves are going to be filled with anything that can be sold and pandered as positive news. All the talking points will take individual metrics and beat the drums; but if we are not aggregating these issues, we will never see through the wool over our eyes. [more...]
Go, Bobby, Go!

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has finally had enough of Obama’s manifest incompetence dealing with the oil spill devastating his state’s economy. Jindal has ordered the National Guard to start building barrier walls in the middle of the ocean. Jindal, a Republican, has been begging the administration for equipment as well as permission to build barriers to protect the Louisiana coastline from complete devastation. As the president partied with Paul McCartney and Kelly Clarkson, respectively, Jindal was pleading with the federal government to live up to its responsibility. On Jindal’s orders, huge Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters are dropping sandbags into the ocean. Someone please tell Mr. Obama we said “Gulf coast” not “golf course.” [more...]
