Hypocrisy, thy name is Obama. The president has been relentless in trying to destroy the hydrocarbon industry, including coal, petroleum, natural gas, fracking, and even (non-hydrocarbon) nuclear. The effort is simply cruel because it will drive energy prices sky high, something that will kill nascent industries and economically devastate senior citizens and less wealthy members of society who depend on affordable energy to heat their homes, drive their cars, and supply power to the places where they work.
Obama keeps insisting that he wants “renewable” or green energy, which supposedly will drive the new economy and create jobs, although the destruction of the existing energy industry is already destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs as coal miners are laid off and petroleum refining plants are shut down because they can’t meet new emissions standards.
The new energy sources have also proven to be unreliable and uneconomic as some of Obama’s favored cronies have been given billions of dollars to create “green” energy companies such as Solyndra solar panel manufacturing, only to see them go bankrupt in a few short years, with the taxpayers ending up holding the bag while the company owners slink off into the sunset with a sackful of Obama bucks.
Another lie the Obama administration has spun, in addition to the fable that the green energy companies will grow the economy and provide energy independence, is that these industries are environmentally friendly and beneficial to earth, man and beast. The administration forgets to mention that emission free cars are charged with electricity provided by gas or petroleum fired generators situated somewhere else than the electrical socket so that the drivers of such cars can feel noble and worthy. Rechargeable batteries create huge piles of contaminated nickel and lead that cannot easily be disposed of, and windmill farms eat up huge tracts of land where endangered species can no longer live.
Now we hear about additional problems caused by the much vaunted windmills, inefficient structures that cover acres and acres of land and only work when the wind blows. More recently it has been noted that they are nothing more than murder machines, with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Obama administration claiming the result is not a problem and is actually beneficial to the creatures most harmed.
Outrageous death and destruction excused on page 2:

“For the younger voters…. here is a bit of Hillary I am betting you wont remember…
Many people who may vote in the democratic primary election and the general election in 2016 have no real knowledge of Mrs. Clinton or her accomplishments. As a public service, I thought I would provide some input regarding her triumphs for consideration.
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger voters will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House. Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:
· She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
· She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
· Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
· Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
· After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.
Now we are exposed to: the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal fans” – “what difference does it make?” –
She killed vets wake up people
Save the Eagle, kill the wind farms!
What’s PETA saying about this?
That’s wrong very wrong
The so called POTUS wants all symbols of the U.S.A. as we the people of America cherish an respect them removed
