Just when I'm having fun attacking Congress, Brat Obama sets himself up for ridicule again. The Ignorant One, the Ill Informed, the Prattling Brat just said Republicans are ignorant about oil.
It's encouraging to to see Obama is so accomplished in projection. I was beginning to think he had no talent at all. Obama even makes Paris Hilton look informed and articulate (using other people's words just like Obama). They're not the same, of course. Obama has a Law degree from Harvard and I have heard Paris Hilton is a high school dropout. If that's true, I'm very impressed, that must be some high school. Paris sounds even more intelligent and knowledgeable than Ms. Tyson, one of Obama's and the Clintons' chief economic advisors. Where do I sign up for summer school?
Actually, I took enough Economics courses in college to qualify for a minor. Any more and I would have become depressed as a result of the Dismal Science. I know enough to realize Obama is also ignorant of Economics when he also announced we can become free of oil in ten years. Is that free of foreign oil or free from the need for any oil at all, Sen. Obama?
If it is the latter, how can we properly inflate our tires if they can not even be made without oil? What about the asphalt on our roads as well as the plastics, solvents, fabrics and countless other products and applications made from oil? The world would fall apart without oil, at least America. Then we would have to import all those products from China; as their government starts drilling off our coasts during the next ten years for our oil. They can then process our oil into more subsequent exports and pollute their own skies, water and land before suing us for providing them with so much deadly potroleum.
If it is the former, how can we reduce the over all demand for oil by 70%, in order to stop oil imports? How much more oil (and lead) will we need to produce electric cars, their tires or the fuel needed to purify silicon, which never exists in pure form, to make solar cells? What about the natural gas needed to melt steel, to the amazement of Rosie, in order to make those cars or modern wind turbins and their platforms? Or are you tilting at monsters in your Quixotic delusions? What does it matter to you? Sancho Panza will always pay for it, but we won't. We have no obligation or desire to follow you.
Stick to prepared scripts and quit wondering off your photo mark, Senator. You make too tempting a target for those of us who know something about the world.
