Sure, gold may permanently be a four-digit commodity, half of the USA may be on such vertical State dependency it has NO taxable income making it hard for ANY officials to come up with much of a budget let alone budget resolution or deeming resolution, religion may be demonized unless the State orthodoxy is preached, and otherwise things may seem to be as if Barack Obama never wrote page 256 in the 2008 election year book "The Audacity of Hope".
But today, from sender ID
Barack Obama <democraticparty@democrats.org>, I received the here immediately verbatim transferred droning message about the BP oil spill, said droning text being, to-wit:
"The BP oil spill in
the Gulf Coast is the worst environmental disaster of its kind in our
nation's history. I am returning to the region today to review our
efforts and meet with families and business owners affected by the
catastrophe.
We are working to hold BP accountable for the damage to the lands and
the livelihoods of the Gulf Coast, and we are taking strong precautions
to make certain a spill like this never happens again.
But our work will not end with this crisis. That's one
of the reasons why last week I invited lawmakers from both parties to
join me at the White House to discuss what it will take to move forward
on legislation to promote a new economy powered by green jobs, combat
climate change, and end our dependence on foreign oil.
Today, we consume more than 20 percent of the world's oil, but have
less than two percent of the world's oil reserves. Beyond the risks
inherent in drilling four miles beneath the surface of the Earth, our
dependence on oil means that we will continue to send billions of
dollars of our hard-earned wealth to other countries every month --
including many in dangerous and unstable regions.
In other words, our continued dependence on fossil fuels will
jeopardize our national security. It will smother our planet. And it
will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk. We cannot delay any longer, and that is why I am asking for your help.
Please
stand with me today in backing clean energy. Adding your name will help
create a powerful, public display of support for making this change
happen.
The time has come, once and for all, for this nation to fully embrace a
new future. That means continuing our unprecedented effort to make
everything -- from our homes and businesses to our cars and trucks --
more energy-efficient. It means rolling back billions of dollars of tax
breaks to oil companies so we can prioritize investments in clean
energy research and development.
Many businesses support this agenda because shifting to clean energy creates opportunities for entrepreneurship. This is how we will reinvent our economy -- and create new companies and new jobs all across the country.
There will be transition costs and a time of adjustment. But if we
refuse to heed the warnings from the disaster in the Gulf -- we will
have missed our best chance to seize the clean-energy future we know
America needs to thrive in the years and decades to come.
The House of Representatives has already passed a comprehensive energy
and climate bill, and there is currently a plan in the Senate -- a plan
that was developed with ideas from Democrats and Republicans -- that
would achieve the same goal. But this is an issue that Washington has
long ignored in favor of protecting the status quo.
So I'm asking for your help today to show that the American people are ready for a clean-energy future.
Please add your name to mine:

Thank you,

Now, all that wind after all this time, to avoid a simple salient: the USA, global superpower and leader of the free world...they say...either can't find a cork for an oil snafu despite all those friends in foreign leaders who so worship Obama's Presidential acta, or droning on and on and on and on about relative minutae (contrasted to the seeming "destroy-to-rebuild-at-an-infintely-later-date" or Stalinist re-configuring of USA culture) and police-powering lilliputians away IS what earns B-Rock and pals (all political bents) such huge esteem from their global comrades...including "treat with kid gloves" Taliban, drug importers, and the like.
Maybe our leaders should all go to the gulf of Mexico and all at once deliver the same soundbytes...it's possible THAT much hot air released all at once could evaporate even crude petroleum.
