Taking A Break.

To my legions of fans. (Visualize tumbleweeds blowing across these pages. Imagine wind howling through the words.)

I have enjoyed writing these rants. I may well come back some day and do more. However, one of my many other projects is writing fiction. I recently showed one of my stories to some editors and authors that I know. Many of them think I have the potential to get paid for my writing. So I will be spending as much time writing as before, but I will be writing fiction instead of political commentary.

Wish me luck.

Thanks again for your interest and feedback.

I Want A Degree In High Heel Walking!

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/1067001/college-course-teaches-teens-to-walk-in-heels
College course teaches girls to walk in heel

A government-funded course that teaches teenage girls how to walk in high heels has raised eyebrows in London.

Why has a course for walking in high heels at a local college raised any eyebrows? It is not as if a college education currently has any value.

Over the years the goal of education has changed.

Before government took over, education was provided by and for individuals who wanted to better themselves, and make an impact on the world. After the government took over education, it was to create a class of incompetent, hopeless and corrupt slaves to labor under their slave masters orders, or be sent to the gulags for reeducation.

It was educated people who believed in freedom who created the United States in order to have a better life for themselves and their children. Unfortunately for the government, those are the kind of people that no government that wants to stay in power for any length of time can have as slaves citizens. If you believe that you can make a better life for yourself and your children, you are less likely to accept the abuses that government dishes out. You are more likely to stand up for your rights and fight for them. If the government can convert citizens into slaves, then the government can continue until it collapses from the greed and corrupt that this kind of system promotes. In case you have forgotten your American history (or are a college graduate, and therefore never learned), America was formed by people fleeing a repressive government.

I do have a few more questions and comments for you before ending this rant.

In California (and probably elsewhere), there are many students that can NOT read or write in ANY language!

How could a government that is facing bankruptcy, and the inability to supply welfare for the jobless and the alien invaders, come up with funding for a college class to teach walking in high heels?

How could any college, teachers or staff, allow their premises be used for teaching walking in high heels?

Why aren't the faculty and students rioting and looting and burning down that college and the town it is located in? In California, the students riot and loot and burn down local businesses for the "rights" of alien invaders to invade the United States and for the "rights" of Muslim terrorists to kill citizens in the United States and abroad.

Therefore, I believe that the government controlled education system is finally approaching the degree of success that it has been aiming for all along. Very soon, the only value a college degree will have is to wipe yourself after going to the bathroom.

Obama Celebrates Physicians Unwillingness To Care For Patients.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/health/policy/13address.html
Obama Presses Congress to Avert Medicare Pay Cuts

“I’m absolutely willing to take the difficult steps necessary to lower the cost of Medicare and put our budget on a more fiscally sustainable path,” he (Barack Hussein Obama) said. “But I’m not willing to do that by punishing hard-working physicians or the millions of Americans who count on Medicare.”

Oh really? Barack Hussein Obama doesn't want to punish physicians or Americans? Then why did Barack Hussein Obama work so hard to get the deeply flawed Health Care Deform bill passed? Why does the "fair" Health Care Deform bill punish both doctors and patients? Why does the Health Care Deform bill have spiraling out of control costs? Why didn't Barack Hussein Obama refuse to sign the bill, and ask for one that does NOT include all the usual pork barrel bills? Why didn't Barack Hussein Obama do any of the things he claimed he would do when campaigning for office?

Day 53: The Latest on the Oil Spill

Day 53: Oil Well Capped. Leak Cleaned Up.

What's wrong? Why don't you believe me? You believed Barack Hussein Obama when he fraudulently claimed that the stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) would fix the economy. With millions unemployed and millions facing homelessness, you still believed Barack Hussein Obama when he said that he really did fix the economy. You believed Barack Hussein Obama when he claimed that the Health Care Deform bill would fix the problems with the health care industry AND balance the budget at the same time. You believed Barack Hussein Obama when he claimed he wasn't bowing down to third world dictators and other foreign dignitaries. You believed Barack Hussein Obama was being impartial every time he defended Muslim terrorists that killed Americans. You believe Barack Hussein Obama every time he lies (which is every time he opens his mouth).

So why won't you believe me when I claim that the underwater oil well is capped and that the ocean has been cleaned up? I guess I need to be elected liar-in-chief of the United States before people will believe a big liar and his big lies.

What Can $30 Billion Do That $800 Billion Couldn't Do?

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN119179020100611
Obama renews call on Congress for $30 bln job bill

After the worst recession in decades, many small businesses report trouble getting credit. Obama's proposal would establish a $30 billion fund to boost lending to small businesses looking to hire and expand operations by providing additional capital to community banks.

Actually, to be honest, something that Barack Hussein Obama and his czars and commissars will never be, this is the worst depression the United States has ever had. Ever! This is the great depression! This is not a recession. This is not a minor correction. You can NOT ignore the problem and go on with business as usual. Aside from the fact that there are very few businesses left to actually continue in business.

If the almost $800 billion stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) given away to political cronies last year didn't help the economy, how can $30 billion more make any difference.

Oh wait, the $800 billion stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) was political payback for contributing to Barack Hussein Obama's political campaign. So the bill that "you must vote for to find out what is in it", the bill that is "too important for you to have time to read and understand" had the opposite effect of what was claimed. However, the bill had the exact result that was intended. Which is why there are now millions of Americans who have lost jobs. That is why those lost no longer exist and will NEVER come back. Which is why millions of Americans are now facing losing their homes. This is what Barack Hussein Obama calls saving the economy!

If the $800 billion stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) had been divided evenly among all the men, women and children (and illegal aliens that the left wing democrats care so much for), everybody in this country would have gotten a check for more than $100,000 each. If every person in this country started spending money like drunken sailors (or sober congressmen and senators), the current economy would look very different.

So you can rest assured that when the liar-in-chief tells you something, that it is a lie, and likely will have the opposite effect of what it is claimed it will do.

Is Alvin Green Too Moral To Become Senator?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/12/us/politics/12greene.html
Who’s Alvin Greene? State Asks After Vote

The Associated Press reported that Mr. Greene was arrested in November and is facing a felony obscenity charge; he is accused of showing pornography to a University of South Carolina student. He had been discharged “involuntarily” from the Army and showed no signs of having waged an actual campaign in recent months — no advertising, no staff, no money.

Alvin Green looks like the typical socialist liberal democratic candidate. And like all socialist liberal democratic candidates, his major problem is in getting elected before getting caught. Unlike the Barack Hussein Obama campaign, where the press whitewashed the racist American hating incompetent candidate with no job skills and no understanding of what America is, the press somehow accidentally discovered some of Alvin Green's problems, and managed to not cover them up as usual. Which places the democratic party in the awkward position of trying to explain why they have to pretend they don't know who this guy is and how he managed to run for office on the socialist liberal democratic platform. But as long as the press believes that their job as socialist liberal democrats is to cover up any and all problems with the socialist liberal democratic candidate, this will be a continuing problem.

United Nations Sanctions.

http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=177972
Iran: Sanctions are trash

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responded Wednesday to the sanctions passed at the UN Security Council meeting, saying they were "worthless" and should only go into "the trash bin," in a report cited by Bloomberg News.

Dateline: United Nations, April 1, 2020

The United Nations issued more sanctions against Iran for firing nuclear missiles against the newest Muslim nation, Italy. Again. This is the 51st time that Iran has fired nuclear missiles against some foreign aggressors. The is the 154th time the United Nations has issued sanctions against Iran for enriching uranium beyond what is needed for medical reasons. And for building nuclear devices. And for firing nuclear missiles against foreign infidel aggressors.

An Iranian official responded by saying that their rockets were not aimed at Italy. They claimed that their target was France. However, since the Mullah of Italy was refusing to follow the orders of the Mullah of Iran, that makes Italy a reasonable target for the ethnic cleansing they (and all other infidels) so richly deserve. The Iranian official continued, stating that since that time, they have now armed the peoples army of Hamas and Al-Qaeda, who are also fighting against agression for their homelands. The Iranian official ended his news conference expressing hope that the new nuclear powers will be admitted to the United Nations where they will soon be able to use words as well as nuclear devices to fight for their right to kill all infidels.

Federal Government Running Scared Of The Economy.

Circuit Breakers May Be SEC’s First Step in Slowing Down Stocks

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s plan to impose halts on some stocks that swing more than 10 percent starting today may be followed by more measures to slow down trading.

Let me see if I understand this.

The stock market is supposed to accurately reflect the state of the economy. But the federal government is working on rules and regulations that will allow an "unnatural" increase in stock prices, but will prevent an "unnatural" decrease in stock prices.

I am using the term "unnatural" in quotes, because the federal government is having problems. The problem is, every time the federal government talks about how wonderful the economy is doing and tries to point at some new measure they created to prove their point, even those numbers take a dive. It is reaching the point where only economists and government employees are capable of the "willing suspension of disbelief" required to believe any pronouncement from the federal government. And the government flunkies are getting tired of creating new metrics that are proved false even before the ink is dry. So, since reality won't cooperate with the federal government, the federal government will force reality to change it's ways. And since the government wants to claim that the rising stock prices proves the economy is recovering, they have to do something to prevent stock prices from falling.

After all, the federal government has no interest in fixing the economy. They just want the people to believe that the federal government cares. Which makes it easier for the politicians to get reelected and continue on with their conversion to socialism where you will have the freedom to spread the poverty with all the people who were forced out of their homes and their jobs.

Welcome to the land of debris and the home of depraved.

The Millionaire Cop Next Door

It is said that government workers now make, on average, 30% more than private sector workers. Put that fantasy aside. It far underestimates the real figures. By my calculations, government workers make more than twice as much. Government workers are America's fastest-growing millionaires.

Boy was I brought up wrong. I always thought that when I grew up I was supposed to find a job and work for a living. I was supposed to make something useful. I was supposed to do something useful. Or if that wasn't enough for me, start my own business. Work hard, and I would be rewarded.

Instead I find out how wrong I was. The best way to make money, is get a job working for the government. Once you are in the union, you can't get fired. Once you are in the union, your wages and retirement plan skyrocket.

Why should I, or anyone else waste our time starting our own business or even working? The quickest way to become wealthy is to get a government job.

Economic Collapse Is Good For The Economy.

Tax Hikes and the 2011 Economic Collapse

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the nine states without an income tax are growing far faster and attracting more people than are the nine states with the highest income tax rates. People and businesses change the location of income based on incentives.

Are you sure about that?

That can't be right?

Government science (create theory, throw out facts that are contrary to theory) proves that higher taxes and more regulation stimulates the economy.

It seems to surprise politicians and economists. Why else are politicians and economists constantly raising taxes and creating more regulations in an effort to stimulate business. If lowering taxes, and reducing regulations would stimulate earnings, and thus increase employment and taxes, don't you think that politicians and economists would recommend that in times of massive depression like we are currently experiencing?

Wait, I forgot. What we are experiencing is an economic recovery. Don't all economic recoveries feature millions of unemployed? Don't all economic recoveries feature millions of homeless? Don't all economic recoveries feature massive government debt?

Democrats Having A Blast In Texas.

3 hurt in pipeline blast in Texas Panhandle

A natural gas pipeline exploded Tuesday in northern Texas, injuring at least three people, a spokeswoman for the Lipscomb County Sheriff's Office told CNN.

Barack Hussein Obama held a news conference to place the blame on this leak and explosion on the prior administration. Barack Hussein Obama announced a moratorium on the pumping of any fluid of any kind in any pipes on the continental United States. Barack Hussein Obama stated this is only a temporary safety measure until it can be determined who is to blame for this explosion, and what federal regulatory agency can be exonerated for allowing this to happen. Until then, the American people must be punished because they depended on natural gas, and thus encouraged the explosion to happen.

FDA Needs Food Safety Overhaul: Report

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) isn't equipped to handle problems with the food supply and is in need of a major revamping, a government panel of experts reported Tuesday.

The government panel of experts reported that the F.D.A. is not doing enough to make sure that all food produced in the United States is infected with deadly diseases. For the F.D.A. to be more effective, they will need even more armed jackbooted thugs to interfere with farms and food processing plants. Not until every agent has the ability to shut down any farm or food processing plant that won't pay their taxes / fees / bribes to keep going will the United States be as vulnerable as is necessary for any socialist utopia to be possible. Until then, North Korea, Cuba and other socialist workers paradises will be the leading lights on this planet. But I have faith in American ingenuity that we will be able to surpass them in our quest to inflict pain and suffering on the largest group of people this planet has ever seen.

Budget Impasse In Sacramento. Otherwise Known As Business As Usual.

http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_15252216?nclick_check=1
Opinion: Dan Walters: Budget is stalled thanks to Sacramento's 'do-nothing' gang

In the weeks since Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled his revised 2010-11 budget, there's been absolutely no progress on closing the deficit that approaches $20 billion. In fact, the situation may have grown worse because the extra federal funds that the governor and the Legislature have counted on are evaporating.

What is Dan Walters so upset about?

These are politicians after all. People who weren't bright enough to know which end of the gun to point at the grocery store clerk when robbing the store. So they didn't have much else left on their career track except going into politics, where criminal activity is endorsed and approved by all criminals politicians.

Think about this for a moment. The United States was started back in 1787, and California wasn't admitted to the United States until 1850. 63 years later. And yet California is much closer to bankruptcy than most of the other 50 states of the United States. California politicians had to work much harder than other states to speed ahead of the others. So the politicians of the State of California can be justifiably proud of their accomplishments.

Judging by recent reports, most socialist countries are in a race with the United States to see who can declare bankruptcy first. I will place my full faith and credit that the socialist-in-chief will be able to lead the United States to beat the P.I.G.S. countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) in their rush to creating the ultimate workers socialist bankruptcy paradise.

Obama Could Be Best President Ever, If He Would Only Go Back To Accepting Bribes In Chicago Instead Of In The White House.

Pelosi's Loss Could Be Obama's Gain

In Washington these days, President Obama is rumored to be hoping Republicans capture the House of Representatives in the midterm election in November. There's no evidence for this speculation, so far as I know, but it's hardly far-fetched. If Mr. Obama wants to avert a fiscal crisis and win re-election in 2012, he needs House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be removed from her powerful post. A GOP takeover may be the only way.

It's too late to avert a fiscal crisis. Between the stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) and the Health Care Deform monstrosity, the United States has been dealt a one two punch in the economy that it may never recover from.

This opinion piece seems to think it is worth while to reelect Barack Hussein Obama as long as you don't allow Barack Hussein Obama to actually do anything. With the way things are currently going, the best thing the United States can do is reverse everything that Barack Hussein Obama did. The second best thing the United States can do, is nothing. Unfortunately, Barack Hussein Obama was able to pass all kinds of legislation that has fatally damaged the ability of the United States to provide freedom and a safe environment to it's legal citizens. So at this point, even doing nothing, is way too problematic for the United States because of the bills passed when Barack Hussein Obama was actively working to destroy the United States.

Although I am not sure why anyone with Barack Hussein Obama's agenda, deserves reelection. And I am even less sure why it is important to reelect someone who's goals are as un-American as Barack Hussein Obama's are.

The Best Politicians Money Can Buy.

http://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=82942&catid=2
Are Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner trying to buy the election?

Of course they are trying to buy the election. In the grand tradition of corrupt politics, all politicians are used to buying their political office. Just ask former governor Rod Blagojevich about buying and selling political offices.

"Voters are electing people to represent themselves," he (Dave Levinthal with the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington D.C.) said. "Therefore, these candidates, no matter how much money they have, no matter how many movies they've made, still report to the people of California."

What a great sound bite. Spoken like a true politician. With not a word of truth in the whole statement.

A more honest statement would read that "fat cat politicians, with their million dollar slush funds, with their full pensions after one term in office, in their chauffeur driven cars report to the people of California, but they answer to the special interest groups that fund their campaigns". Is it possible that Meg Whitman or Steve Poizner will answer to the people? Sure it is. It is also possible that the sun won't rise in the east and that Barack Hussein Obama will finally tell the truth. It is just not very likely.

Even if you are willing to suspend your ability to think, and accept that Meg Whitman or Steve Poizner if elected will do what is best for California, you are forgetting one not so minor problem. All the rest of the politicians in Sacramento that are unwilling to balance the budget. Their time is better spent prohibiting teenage girls from getting nipple rings, deciding the price and kind of grocery bags available to shoppers (paper or plastic) or declaring war on Arizona.

Lest you think I am coming down too hard on California politicians, let me remind you of the Health Care Deform Bill recently passed in Washington District of Criminals (D.C.). When congress first tried to pass the bill, they had to bribe some of the politicians to vote for it. When the politicians realized that the senate would NOT pass the congressional bill, congress tried to pass the bill by pretending it had already passed and they were simply amending the bill. When that didn't work, and congress finally decided to accept the senat version of the Health Care Deform bill, the congressmen were assured that as a matter of public policy they could find out what the bill does by voting for the bill. Does this seem like politicians who are answering to their constituents? If so, why were so many democrats rushing to announce their retirement after the bill passed?

Obama Upsets Congress And Democrats By Nominating A Qualified Person For A Government Position.

Obama chooses military veteran to reset US intelligence

Peter Hoekstra, ranking Republican on the House of Representatives intelligence committee, recently described General Clapper as “exactly the wrong person” for the DNI’s role because he had “disregard and disdain for Congress”.

What is wrong with feeling “disregard and disdain for Congress”? After the stimulus (welfare for the wealthy) and the Health Care Deform debacle, most educated, legal citizens of the United States feel contempt and disgust for congress (as well as all the other politicians, czars, commissars, henchmen, minions and political appointees).

Normally I would assume that any person that Barack Hussein Obama nominates for any position must be as corrupt and incompetent as Barack Hussein Obama himself. The only thing that causes me to begin to doubt my basic axiom of Barack Hussein Obama's reign of terror, is that most of the politicians in congress hates his nominee. I wonder what kind of one time fluke happened that caused the incompetent-in-chief to accidentally nominate someone for a job who might actually have some skill in performing that job?

Pressure on intelligence agencies heightened after a passer-by spotted a bomb planted in a car near Times Square in Manhattan on May 1. The bomb failed to explode but the man suspected of planting it, Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani immigrant, was allowed to board a flight to Dubai despite being on a no-fly list. He was removed from the plane and arrested.

This is surprising.

The alphabet soup of agencies who are supposed to protect American lives from "man-caused disasters" couldn't find the bomb in Times Square. The "man-caused disasters" expert was on the no-fly list, but managed to get on board a plane anyway. This is normally what Obamaspeak considers proof that the new improved security measures are working to protect the lives and property of American citizens.

What is the world coming to, when an incompetent and corrupt politician (Barack Hussein Obama) nominates a competent and honest person (General Clapper) for a job he is skilled to perform?

Federal Government Reduces Taxes By Millions And Never Notices.

Children's health program loses millions due to tobacco-tax loophole

A tobacco tax loophole in President Obama's children's health-insurance program cost the government more than $250 million in its first year, public health officials say.

Barack Hussein Obama must be proud of himself. In an effort to balance the budget, he has managed to decrease revenue and increase spending. Just like most of his other plans to balance the budget.

Or to explain this in a different way, this is like the federal government passing a "Global Warming" reduction bill that includes making it a crime to breathe, and then spending years working on an environmental impact report to determine the consequences of repealing the part of the law that criminalizes breathing.

As this article goes on to explain, the difference between rolling tobacco and pipe tobacco is about $21.00 per pound in taxes. Since business is never as stupid or corrupt as politicians, rolling tobacco is being relabeled as pipe tobacco. The federal government which so carefully writes these bills, and monitors their effect, never noticed the annual loss of $250 million of tax revenue. The state of Oregon, not being quite as incompetent and corrupt as the federal government did notice that the new federal law caused a major decrease in tax revenue.

Fortunately for the tobacco industry, federal politicians who are always willing to rush to pass poorly written laws, will never rush to fix poorly written laws.

California Lawmaker Paid To Skip Work.

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-bass-20100605,0,4785236,print.story
California lawmaker skips Capitol meetings but collects tax-free per diem payments

Since Karen Bass announced her bid for Congress in February, the former speaker of the state Assembly has been missing from the chamber she once led more than she has been there. Bass nonetheless continued to collect the tax-free per diem payments that lawmakers are given to cover expenses associated with attending legislative sessions.

What is wrong with this picture?

Nothing. Politicians as a general rule never do any useful work when in office. So not showing up for work and getting paid anyway is hardly out of line for a politician. And considering how corrupt and incompetent most politicians are, it is a good thing that they rarely show up for work, or the state of California would have gone bankrupt much sooner than it will.

On March 3, Bass stood on the steps of City Hall with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to announce his endorsement. Two weeks earlier, she was joined by a trio of City Council members — Eric Garcetti, Paul Krekorian and Tom LaBonge — to announce their backing.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is probably the perfect politician to endorse state Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has almost a perfect record of avoiding work. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is famous worldwide for being almost as unethical, corrupt, incompetent as any Mexican National or Chicago politician. So if Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is endorsing state Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, then I suspect we all know what kind of job she has been doing and will be doing if reelected.

California Legislators Winning The Race To The Bottom National Contest.

http://www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/print/content/view/print/305813
California advances grocery store plastic bag ban

The California Assembly on Wednesday approved a bill that would ban stores from providing plastic bags, and require them to charge for paper ones. Similar bans are in place in China and Bangladesh.

California legislators are determined to win Obama's "Race To The Bottom".

Their plan to win is showing great promise. First off, California legislators are refusing to balance the budget, which is currently short by about $20 billion short. By not balancing the budget, the California legislators are insuring that government employees will go on strike to collect their wages. This will also help the California economy by forcing business that supply the state with goods and services to go bankrupt when they can't pay their bills because California won't pay it's bills.

California legislators plans to balance the budget are equally farsighted. They are planning on selling off public buildings as well as parks and recreational facilities to real estate developers. I am eagerly looking forward to the time when the all government offices are shut down and government employees evicted when the State of California can't make the rent payments.

Alternative plans to win the "Race To The Bottom" include innovative ways to deal with the overcrowding in prisons. By increasing arrests for misdemeanors, the overcrowding problem is made worse. The solution that California legislators have come up with is to provide early release for violent felons and not provide parole services for the early releases. Which is not as bad as you would think. After all, rapist kidnappers can easily harbor kidnap victims for 20 or more years while under supervision and not get noticed.

One plan that the California legislators are contemplating, is doubling or tripling the tax rates on any businesses that haven't yet failed and on legal citizens that haven't yet declared bankruptcy. Adding more people to the welfare and unemployment rolls is always good for a federal bailout. If increasing the taxes is not enough, making California a magnet state for unemployed and alien invaders is destined to overwhelm the welfare and unemployment rolls, thus forcing the federal government to give California an even larger bailout.

An of course the one plan that all legislators always approve of. Giving themselves raises.

As you can see, the California legislators have the not balancing the budget problem well in hand. So it makes sense that the California legislators move on to other important issues. Like ignoring the failing economy. But how will the California legislators deflect attention from their unwillingness to balance the budget and save the economy?

Easy. The California legislators will work on legislation that is near and dear to the "green party" and other socialist groups. Like whether grocery stores should use paper or plastic bags. Obviously this is a much more important issue than balancing the budget, saving the economy, or letting violent felons out of prison early.

Aren't you glad that California politicians are hard at work doing whatever it is that politicians do?

No Limited Oil Drilling Here!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/03/AR2010060302738.html
Interior Dept. denies it has extended drilling freeze to shallow gulf waters

The Interior Department denied that it has extended a drilling freeze to shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, contradicting an e-mail written earlier Thursday by the Minerals Management Service's supervisor of field operations for the Gulf of Mexico.

Barack Hussein Obama held a press conference to explain his position on oil drilling. He stated that he is not in favor of limiting drilling. In fact, this press conference was to announce his new expanded oil drilling policy. In spite of opposition from the "Green Party" and his Mullah, he is opening up oil drilling in all locations that are more than 10,000 feet above sea level. This plan will encourage development of alternative energy sources and provide independence from mid-east oil.

In order to make this new plan work, Barack Hussein Obama will need to create a new "Green Energy" czar. The new enforcement arm of the new czar will be the new "Green Energy Army". The new "Green Energy Army" will also help kick start the economy by creating many much needed jobs for the violent felons getting early release to help balance the budget. This army will be armed and dangerous to prevent any future oil leaks. If an oil leak happens anyway, the "Green Energy Army" will have the authority and ability to immediately punish any oil company, or anyone associated with an oil company. The "Green Energy Army" will also oversee the criminalization of oil importation by pipes, boats or trains.

When questioned why his minions and henchmen previously announced the limitation of oil drilling, Barack Hussein Obama responded in the manner expected of all great leaders. Barack Hussein Obama proclaimed that he misspoke what the audience misunderstood. He ranted that the racist media were always twisting his words. He complained that it was all Bush's fault. He stated that Muslims were not terrorists and we should always welcome armed burqua wearing proselytes into our homes. He then continued to speak for half an hour, completely baffling the audience, and putting some of them to sleep. Barack Hussein Obama then announced that if anyone asked that question again, his new "Green Energy Army" would have the questioner taken out and shot for subversive activities.
