Film narrator: Obama's missed calling

The latest attempt by the president to convince citizens that climate change is the bane of our existence produced the opposite result among most viewers. The irony of filming an oil industry-bashing commercial aboard Air Force One, which leaves a carbon footprint the size of King Kong (should you give credence to the carbon scare at all), is beyond hubris. It insults everyone's intelligence. Not that the president much cares. As far as he's concerned everyone around him is lacking intellect and unable to keep up with his superior mind. First, the president takes credit for the plunge in gas prices, which came about through private enterprise in spite of his consistent institution of measures seeking to debilitate the oil industry. Then he contradicts himself by urging Congress to further strap oil production by blocking development at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and applying more restrictions on offshore drilling. After which he proposes opening up the Atlantic seaboard to oil leases--once he leaves office, of course. Which is it? Acclaim the homemade oil boom that has lowered prices at the pump, or push policies to forestall further drilling that can keep energy affordable?

Environmental terrorism is being waged by the Obama administration against the average citizen

The greatest enemy to this nation is not climate change, which was on parade with the dire blizzard forecast purposefully hawked to frighten every citizen in the Northeast. Nor is it the villainous oil and coal industry, as Obama would have you believe. It is the president's reticence, no, his refusal to protect this nation from foreign interests, particularly those that support terrorism as do most of the major oil-producing countries outside of the United States. Environmental terrorism is being waged by the Obama administration against the average citizen by way of thousands of regulations churned out by the Environmental Protection Agency and affiliated organizations under the wing of the executive branch. Every new restriction is concocted to curtail free enterprise on practically every level, creating a failing economy no matter how much labor statistics are tweaked and twisted to point otherwise. Congress must overturn that agenda. What we're hearing is how difficult it is to backtrack executive action, even after a new president takes office. There will be hurdles, but any elected legislator worth their salt will stand to pare down the thousands of pages of economy crippling regulations, which have no standing other than publication in the Federal Register (Page 211 in Pay Attention!! "Admininstrative regs or "Law of the Land?"). The American public should encourage Obama to take up a new occupation as a voiceover artist. That way, those of us who have heard enough of his prating, trying to convince us that he somehow has a deeper, wider understanding of a world in which he's been coddled, unlike the rest of us poor working slobs, can turn him off.
