OBAMA TELL US HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND MEANS WHAT HE SAYS

President Obama told us on the campaign trail this past week that he says what he means and means what he says.If that is truly the case then all of the middle class that he cares so much about is in deep trouble.He has told us for the last four years that the middle class has been left behind by the Republican party.The rich[if you can call making $200,000 a year rich], are given trillions in tax cuts while the middle class are paying more.In reality,the wealthy are the job creators.If we continue to put burdensome regulations on the banks and small businesses, the extra cost will be passed down to the consumer.Now who does that hurt the most?Yes, the middle and lower class.

Obama told us in an interview in 2008 that under his Cap and Trade program that electricity rates would NECESSARILY skyrocket.The key word is necessarily.He said that a coal plant could be built, but because of the regulations imposed on coal plants to retrofit them to the new regulations that they would go bankrupt.Remember.he says what he means and means what he says.We know this because he has said so this past week and has said it many times as his VP Joe Biden has also said.Now why would a Presidential candidate want to increase the amount we would pay for energy.It's called control.

We have already seen many coal plants and coal mines shut down,while China is building a 500 megawatt plant every month.The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported earlier this year that coal plants are producing about 8% less in electricity than last year alone.

Once again,the question is, who do you think the higher rates would affect the most in terms of ability to pay and keep the lifestyle they are living now or prevent them from living a better life in terms of finances?The answer is not blowing in the wind.It is of course the middle and lower class.Just remember this, once these regulations and rules are established and coal plants are no more,it will be almost impossible to turn it around.The new norm for electric rates will be established ,just like the new norm for gas prices has seemed to take effect the last two years.

OBAMA SURROGATES STILL BLAMING BUSH ON MORNING OF ELECTION

We have heard for the last four years the reason things aren't better is because of the mess that this administration inherited from George W.Bush.Maybe it's because they just like hearing the word Bush.This morning,on Fox and Friends,Robert Gibbs told us again that President Obama inherited this bad economy.Should we still be hearing that from the same people ? It sure is getting old.Thus, we should put Obama back in office for another four years of the same policies that aren't working.

If  a newly hired football coach took over a bad program to turn the program around,he usually is given a few years to do so.But,if results were minimal or staying the same,the answer is not to blame the conditions when he was hired.Every coach knows he was hired to turn the program around and not to blame others when questioned about the lack of progress.If he continues to do so,not only would he lose his athletic director's support,but also fan support.Instead of getting better,the program would get worse.

Let's just stipulate to Mr.Gibbs that he inherited a mess.Even if the economy has improved a bit,we don't want to keep hearing the excuses.A leader takes whatever situation he is given him and puts his head down to make things better.That takes the right kind of policies and tough decisions.Blaming Bush does nothing to improve anything.It also hurts any effort to turn the economy around if the President continually plays class warfare,I.e. the 1%.

It has been refreshing to hear from Mitt Romney talk about American Exceptalism
instead of apologizing to other countries because we have been arrogant,dismissive,and even derisive.The time to talk about how bad things might have been is not after a person takes over,whether it's President, coach, manager, or CEO.That is time for action.

Speaking of taking action,everyone needs to vote.If more of the same is what you want,vote Obama.If you want someone who knows and understands how to turn a business around,vote for Mitt Romney.

OBAMA SAID TO CALL FOR MORE OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION IN STATE OF UNION SPEECH TONIGHT

We must be in the twilight zone.After Obama and his State Department said no go on the Keystone Pipeline,he is now apparently going to tell the oil and gas companies to ramp up oil and gas production.WHAT!! Is that a misprint?Did the Whitehouse leak something that isn't true?Last week the President said he wouldn't approve of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline,all the while blaming it on the Congressional Republicans.This is nothing but a political move, a bone for the environmental extremists. He has gone on TV many times and told the Congressional Republicans not to play politics with whatever policy he is pushing at the time.Then,lo and behold,he clearly is making a political decision not to go ahead with the pipeline.

Obama told us that the deadline that Congress set in February of  this year,was not enough time to study the effect of the pipeline on the environment.This,this after the State Department has completed two environmental studies that has taken three years.They also were ready to sign off on the building of the pipeline.But the politics came into play, as usual with this administration.They even stated that it would take at least another year to come to a decision.Well,well,well, what happens this November?That's correct, a presidential election.Shut your mouth! Politics had nothing to do with his decision,so says Jay Carney.Obama's press secretary.This pipeline would create thousands of good paying jobs,not to mention what it would do for the economies for the many cities and states.This project is over 1600 miles long.We would also be getting more than 800,000 barrels of oil a day form our North American partner. That is 33,600,000 gallons of oil per day.Just by announcing the building of the pipeline would lower oil prices and in return fuel prices.We are now a net importer of fuel.A lot of people who don't care one way or another,will change their minds when the price of gasoline goes to $4 or $5 dollars a gallon this summer.Build the pipeline now,Mr.President.As you have often told us,WE CAN'T WAIT!!!
