Be Afraid. Be VERY Afraid, Pt. II

This time, for real! You wanted change? Here's some change for you!

Breaking our oil addiction is one of the greatest challenges our generation will ever face. It will take nothing less than a complete transformation of our economy. -Barack H. Obama

From the Obama Nation's website:

America has always risen to great challenges, and our dependence on oil is one of the greatest we have ever faced. It’s a threat to our national security, our planet and our economy.

Our dependence on oil, not foreign oil, is a threat to our national security? Our dependence on oil, not foreign oil is a threat to our economy? It seems to me, that a larger threat to our national security and our economy would be having some clueless twit reducing our strategic reserves as a palliative to high gas prices without addressing the root cause of those high prices, which is artificial limits on supply.

Said clueless twit, makes no distinction between the reliance on oil and the reliance on foreign oil, as if he had bought into the whole Algorean "the internal combustion engine is the single greatest threat to the environment. Even more so than nuclear war and rampant disease."

A clueless twit, unfamiliar with the laws of supply and demand could completely transform our economy...only not in a good way!

What part of "complete transformation of our economy" shouldn't cause you to lose sleep at night? Our economy is built on the twin pillars of democracy and freedom. Just how completely would a President Barack Obama change our economy? If the government, particularly the Democrat controlled Congress, would just get out of the way of the oil companys they love to demonize, the oil that fuels this great economic engine would be in greater supply, and our national security and economy would both be on firmer footing. If only Pelosi, Reid and Obama and their fellow travelers would stop playing politics with our nation's future, the change you might see would be going back into your pocket after a trip to the gas station. But the gutless, spineless excuse for leadership in the Democratic party won't even let it come up for a vote!

Maybe someone could look up the word "Democrat" and send it to Lights Out Nancy, the Dimbulb from Searchlight and O'blurry?
