Who is Barack Obama?

The other day I felt sting on my back when I heard Obama saying that it's embarrasing to him when Europeans come over here they speak English but we, Americans couldn't speak French when we visit Europe. His arrogance is at its best.

He also said that our children should learn to speak Spanish at the Latin American Group Meeting. His solution to our failing school is to teach children to speak French and Spanish at school; to Obama it's not math or science can improve our education.

His inspiration and idea of the country must have come from Europe. You wonder where he got all the socialistic ideas on his policy issues such as universal healthcare and wealth redistribution.

Anyway, I wanted talk about his energy policy. The following article is from Bruce Hawkins, exposeobama.com that explains Barack Obama's energy policy.

What is Barack Obama's Energy Solution

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times...and then just expect that other contries are going to say OK...That's not leadership. that's not going to happen."
Barack Obama, Campaign Speech, May 2008

His solutions to the high price of gasoline is for you to eat less, drive a samll car and let your family freeze in the winter. In his mind, the problem is NOT that you are being forced to pay over $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline at the pump...the problem is NOT that your family is facing the prospect of a long cold winter because of rising energy costs...the problem is NOT that you're paying insanely high prices for food at the grocery store because of rising energy costs. The problem is "bitter" folks like you that "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like you."

In the 1970's when we waited in long lines for hours to get our ration of gasoline in the summer and watched our families freeze in the winter, Jimmy Carter told us to lower our thermostats and put on a sweater.

Fortunately, the Wall Street Journal saw the parallels to Jimmy Carter's remark on energy policy when no other media noticed. "For a candidate claiming the mantle of 'change,' Mr. Obama's energy policy might as well have been drafted in the 1970s. He supports punitive new windfall profits taxes on Big Oil, which won't do anything for supply; as well as at least $10 billion a year in new subsidies for 'alternative' energy technologies, which may take years or decades to pan out, if they ever do."

His energy solution is NO to drilling, NO to Nuclear Energy, NO to Coal energy and NO to WindPower.

On the other hand, alternative fuels like ethanol are great for the environment and reduce the price of gasoline at the pump...RIGHT?

WRONG! Even Rolling Stone has weighed in on it. "Ethanol doesn't burn cleaner than gasoline, nor is it cheaper. Our current ethanol production represents only 3-5 percent of our gasoline consumption--yet it consumes twenty percent of the entire U.S. corn crop, causing the price of corn to double in the last two years and raising the threat of hunger in the Third World."

"So why bother? Because the whole point of corn ethanol is not to solve America's energy crisis, but to generate one of the great political boondoggles of our time."

"And since America provides two-thirds of all global corn exports, the impact is being felt around the world. In Mexico, tortilla prices have jumped sixty percent, leading to food riots. In Europe, butter prices have spiked forty percent, and pork prices in China are up twenty percent. By 2025, according to Runge and Senauer, rising food prices caused by the demand for ethanol and other biofuels could cause as many as 600 million more people to go hungry worldwide."

Various polls are indicating that a vast majority of Americans support drilling for more oil domestically as one means of alleviating our energy problems .

The rallying cry of "Drill Here, Drill Now" is resounding across this great nation.
