Whitney Houston Trumpts Ariel Sharon; The Power Of The Pen; Oilman Obama

Ariel Sharon. Ally to America. Flags weren't lowered.

Nelson Mandela. Flags to half-mast.

Whitney Houston. Half-mast.

If this can lend any insights into the mindset of the administration, one may wonder if this confirms where Obama really, I mean deep down, stands on Israel.

From White House Dossier:

"President Obama has a resolution for 2014: that this will be a year of action. … He will be looking for areas of bipartisan cooperation, but he won’t be waiting on Congress to act. Instead, the President will use his executive authority, both his pen and his phone, to work with anyone to get things done — whether they be leaders in business, education, Congress, states, or local communities … [W]hen the President travels to North Carolina this Wednesday, he’ll announce a new public-private effort to boost advanced manufacturing that attracts the kind of well-paying jobs that sustain a growing middle class. … [I]f you’re in, then let President Obama know you’re standing behind him.”

In other words, fuck you that's why.

Obama keeps claiming oil and gas production has increased under his watch.

Simply not true. At least not according to the Institute for Energy Research. 

  • Oil and natural gas production on federal lands has fallen by over 40 percent since 2000[2]
  • Since 2000, oil production on private and state lands has risen by 11 percent and natural gas production has riven by 40 percent[3]
  • When President Obama was elected, all offshore lands were available for leasing except for a small area near Florida’s coast
  • The Obama administration’s new five-year plan doesn’t allow oil and natural gas exploration or production on the vast majority of taxpayer-owned offshore areas

Though not sure the government leasing out 38 million acres in the Gulf Coast will improve this.
