Obama promises to drill for oil in Alaska!! Next he will bleach his skin and start talking with a drawl. And the dye is cast for 2012 !!

My site and others in "blogspot," were closed to editing for more than two days, ending yesterday. I trust Google as much as I trust the government, but, at least, I did not lose my blog as I did two years ago.

My first post since the Google "maintenance" episode is this little thing:

Two headlines that amount to, yet, another lie put out by Obama:

NYT 2010: Obama oil plan 'to open vast expanses of water along Atlantic coastline, eastern Gulf of Mexico, north coast of Alaska'...

NYT 2011: Obama oil plan 'expands drilling in Alaska and prospect of new exploration off Atlantic coast'...

Two thoughts: if the "futures" investors believe him, the barrel price for sweet crude will begin to come down next week, as it did when Bush decided to lift the executive order that prohibited offshore drilling back in mid-July of 2008. I will be using this as a gauge as to whether anyone believes Obama on this; I do not.

Which is my second point. Look, you can promise anything if you have worked out an agreement with your congressional buds to continue to block oil expansion and drilling in Alaska (anyone actually believe he will drill in Alaska !!? What a joke.).

Back to the strategy of all this: he becomes the good guy in favor of drilling and the Democrat Senate becomes the bad guy and all is well with radical environmentalism. Some will argue this: "Doesn't this make it more likely the Senate will be taken back by the Republicans?"

Of course, but if Obama wins a second term, nothing much will get done. Understand that the most important election issue of all is the re-election of Obama -- especially in the face of losing the Senate. If he wins a second term, he can block all legislation that would reverse ObamaCare -- all by his lonesome. After all, it is already funded for eight years (remember Bachmann's revelations on this ?), and four more years of ObamaCare will make it impossible to reverse. . . . . unless, of course, the High Court dumps the individual mandate next year.

Sooooo, Obama will go on with his lies, knowing that he controls the Marxist Major Media.

The headlines above are political theater, also known a c.r.a.p.

Update: Sunday -- understand that just a week ago, Mr. Obama, on one occasion, was telling us all, "Think about a trade in" and, on another, "There is little I can do about rising oil prices. " Of course, we all know that was nonsense and, yesterday, Obama admitted as much.

In putting together this update, I found it interesting that the second link, immediately above, was from the Chicago Tribune. Since reading the article and linking to it, the Tribune has taken down that article. Go ahead and try to convince me that the press is not squarely in Obama's camp, to a degree never seen before in American politics.
