Obama Foreign & Domestic Policy Based on How he Believes World Should Operate, Than Reality

Naive Obama Getting Spanked for Weak Foreign Policy

(Washington Post) President Obama has led a foreign and domestic policy agenda based more on how he thinks the world should operate than on reality–this is evident in Obama’s “miscalculations” in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Taiwan, China, Russia, Ukraine…

While foreign policy crisis’s continue erupting on Obama’s Watch, today the Obama Administration forges ahead with its Progressive, domestic green agenda of a narrow, isolationist view of their responsibilities, announcing new stricter EPA regulations, further weakening an already overly regulated, anemic, struggling U.S. economy, which further emboldens our adversaries throughout the world.

Democrats That Oppose ‘Keystone XL Pipeline’ Have $1000s Invested in Competitors

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

Obama Keystone XL Pipeline

(Washington Free Beacon) Democrats that oppose construction of the ‘Keystone XL Pipeline’ have an ulterior motive, money–investing $1000s of dollars in direct competitors to the company looking to build the pipeline with private money.

On the 05 February, I wrote here that the State Dept issued its long awaited report in the ‘Keystone XL Pipeline’ and found that there would be minimal climate impact concluding, that if the pipeline from Canada is not built, it could result in significant increases in greenhouse gases that liberals claim cause global warming, because the alternative means that trucks and railways used in the transporting of fuel are more carbon intensive than the pipeline.

Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) remains opposed to construction of the pipeline saying, “In my view, there is now enough evidence to conclude that construction of this pipeline is not in America’s (especially my) long term interest.”

According to Sen Kaine’s most recent financial disclosure the freshman Democrat has $15,001 to $50,000 invested in ‘Kinder-Morgan Energy Partners’ Kinder-Morgan has been looking to build a pipeline hat would directly compete with Keystone.

(L.A. Times) Welcome to the “Year of Action.” In last weeks SOTU speech, President Obamav vowed to do whatever he has to, to help the economy.

Last week, the State Dept issued a much awaited study on the Keystone XL Pipeline, it found that there would be minimal climate impact concluding, that if the pipeline from Canada is not built, it could result in significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions because the alternative means trucks and railways used in the transporting of fuel are more carbon intensive than the pipeline.

California Air Pollution Increases by 35% Due to the Closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013

Obama Anti Nuclear Energy

(World Nuclear News) A Liberal Environmentalist Nightmare: Air pollution reportedly increased by as much as 35% in California due to the early closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant which resulted in the loss of nearly 1,000 jobs earlier this year and skyrocketing wholesale electrical prices, thanks to Obama’s and Sacramento’s disastrous environmental regulations.

Companies Seek to Unblock California’s 15.4B Barrels of Recoverable Shale Oil in Monterey Field

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

Bright Future for North Dakota Energy Revenue, Dismal Outlook for California –Image: California Political Review

(WSJ) California’s Monterey Shale formation is estimated to hold as much as 15.4 Billion barrels of recoverable offshore shale oil reserves in the United States lower 48 states or more than double the amount of North Dakota’s prosperous Bakken Field and Three Forks formations according to the 2013 estimates by the U.S. Dept of Interior and U.S. Geological Survey.

Problems do exist in extracting the oil from layers of rock seeming as impenetrable as another, California’s rigid regulatory climate.

The latter will likely make it impossible any time soon, for California to take advantage of this new found wealth right under ones feet, despite the state’s weak economy and high unemployment, falling tax revenues, a $127+ Billion deficit and dismal consumer confidence that things will improve anytime soon.

Democrats in Sacramento together with their loony liberal lefty environmentalist wacky partners, will be willing to forgo this huge new opportunity to reverse the state’s negative and dangerous economic trends and instead will kick a gift horse in the mouth by staying on their disastrous greeny course, benefiting no one in the short and long term but will ‘feel really good’ when they pretend to ‘feel the pain’ in the suffering of others.

Southern California Energy Plant Closure to Kill 900 Jobs by Labor Day

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013

Obamanomics Reality

(NBC Los Angeles) Employees of the San Onofre Power Plant were shocked with the news that some 900 of them will be laid off by Labor Day as the plant prepares to close. Dan Dominguez a long time employee and nuclear reactor operator said, “Thirty one years and its over and done with.”

While environmental activists applaud the decision to close the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, 1,500 workers learned that 900 of their fellow employees will soon be laid off, joining the thousands of other Americans out of a good paying jobs in an anemic economy.

According to Bloomberg/Businessweek there were 1.3 million businesses in California at the end of last year–5.2% fewer than at the end of 2011

In other states Massachusetts lost 5,200 businesses, the second highest amount, Kansas had 3.1% fewer businesses in 2012 than in 2011

On the 10 November, I wrote here that subsequent to Obama’s reelection, Ohio energy job losses mount as a consequence to the Obama Administration’s war on reliable coal fired power plants.

All of this is occurring while President Obama claims the economy is improving and more Americans are going back to work but fails to explain, if the economy is on the rebound, how is it that his policies are continuing to destroy jobs, opportunity and peoples economic livelihoods across America?

Obama’s Watch: Gas Prices Surge Towards $5.00 Gallon in Los Angeles

Thursday, July 18th, 2013

Gasoline Prices East Los Angeles Last Week –Image: Rick/Twitter

(24/7WallStreet) Most of the focus on the rise in gasoline prices caused by a surge in oil prices have been in effect of the march toward $4.00 a gallon–the focus is misplaced, at least to the extent in several regions of the country, most notably California where a gallon of premium gas is expected to surpass $5.00 a gallon.

Where is the outrage by Democrats?

Flashback: Remember in 2008 when then candidate for president Barack Obama blamed President George Bush for high gas prices and claimed they were due to previous failed energy policies or when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blasted President George Bush for rising gasoline prices-In April, 2008 Sen Majority Ldr Harry Reid (D-NV) echoed Pelosi’s comments claiming that gasoline prices were “the number one issue facing America today.”

Calif May Soon Have Highest Gas Taxes in U.S.

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

Rising Gas Prices –Barracuda Brigade

(Breitbart) In California, the solution to all ills is further taxation even though gasoline prices have skyrocketed a full .12 cents last week and past $5.00 in L.A.County now, State Sen Noreen Evans, (D-Santa Rosa) wants to tax oil.

“California is the only oil producing state in the nation that does not have an oil extraction tax. States such as Texas, Oklahoma and Alaska have such a tax and it just makes common sense,” Evans said.

Evans wants a 9.9% tax on all barrels drilled in the state, which runs up to $9.60 per barrel at current prices–the effect, will be to drive oil companies out of California and raise prices at the pump even more than what may soon be on their way for motorists.

On top of the recent spike in gasoline prices, the California State Board of Equalization was expected to approve a 3.5 cent increase in the gas tax during their meeting in Culver City today.
