Choosing between the energy giants and gigantic government won't draw this Independent to the Right.  Care to clarify what we're not supposed to know about the corporate/congressional collusion/controversy?  The water is mighty murky to discern anything clearly and the gulf between political extremists has parted to a disastrous distance.  Mercy, mermaids, and Moses!

I guess the $64,000 question is this. Why hasn't Obama lifted the moratorium on offshore drilling?  It's been nearly two damn years since the deepwater horizon explosion of the coast of Louisiana.

Add to that, Cap and Trade, another disasterous policy that was a proven job killer under Jimmy 'Allah Akbar' Carter. BUT, Obama still is forging forward with this Cap and Tax initiative which would systematically destroy the coal industry to boot!

Ever wonder how many jobs are provided by the oil companies? Ever wonder how many jobs are provided by the coal industry?

Obama has, and to quote him directly, has put "his boot on the throats" of the oil companies and we are suffering for it.

Oh, I know, all those 'green jobs' that the stimulus was suppose to create was to replace fossil fuels and our dependency on foreign sources.

So where all these 'green jobs'???   Nowhere. there is no such thing. It was a ponzi scheme to pass his 2.1 billion dollar stimulus.

Just give the damn oil companies the permits so they can drill NOW!

If not, those oil fields will belong to Mexico, or Venezuela, or some other communist regime.

Two months ago, during his world traveling tour, Obama told a Brazilian audience that he wanted to invest in the interests of Brazil by helping them develop thier oil exploration ventures. the community organizer added insult to injury by telling that crowd, " And we want to buy that oil from you!"

I wish Obama felt the same about the U.S.

 We now see exactly what Obama meant by his 'fundamentally transforming' America.

The Community organizer aka: The Dumbest President Ever, needs to be sent back to the streets of Chicago so he can continue doing the only thing he knows, rabble-rousing leftist groups into a heated frenzy, then sueing businesses by playing the race card. Just ask Citicorp.
