President vs. Arizona

I skimmed over that website and most of their links are to anti-Obama websites or personal blogs. Or him saying 80% instead of 70%. Minor technicalities or semantics problems. I'd put them on par with that website you linked us last week. www.conservapedia.com it's good for a laugh but not fact finding.

You should check out Politifact. They are nonpartisan and even have a Pultizer prize for their coverage. There is a list of broken promises for Obama and false statements. I bet they won't link to any personal blogs or anti-Obama websites.

There are plenty more where that one came from and with all web info there is always a hint of truth but never 100% factual although some claim what they post always is... I do not. The basic assumption is close enough for most. They all lie Obama is just the one in the hot seat at the moment.

You don't really expect these topics on a pro-Obama site do you??

I know he did keep one promise and that was higher gas prices.



Obama promised higher energy costs. He wasn't kidding

President Obama held a town hall meeting Wednesday at a wind turbine manufacturing plant in Fairless Hills, Pa., to promote his Big Green energy agenda. Not everyone in the audience was receptive to his message.
When one man failed to clap as Obama talked about government forcing higher fuel efficiency standards (which, contrary to the president, did not reduce U.S. oil imports a single drop), Obama teased him: "If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting eight miles a gallon -- (laughter) -- you may have a big family, ... How many you have? Ten kids, you say? (Laughter.) Well, you definitely need a hybrid van then."
In fact, there are no family-sized hybrid minivans on sale now, and any that come online in the near future will likely cost somewhere north of $30,000. We doubt that a family of 12, or even an average family of four, has that much money just lying around to invest in Obama's Big Green dreams. But we've seen this Obama many times before. Instead of understanding the challenges facing his fellow Americans, and working to lower their energy costs, Obama lectures them about the alleged errors of their ways and tells them how they should spend their hard-earned money. The Fairless Hills exchange was an illustration of the professional politician who thinks he's the boss, when in fact he is supposed to be the elected servant.
"There is no magic formula to driving gas prices down," the president also said Wednesday. Maybe so, but Obama has figured out a pretty good formula for driving gas prices up. Immediately after taking office in 2009, his interior secretary, Ken Salazar, canceled 77 previously approved leases for oil and gas development in Utah. In February 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency mandated that consumers buy 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels (like ethanol) by 2020. By July 2010, the White House banned drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The ban has since been lifted, but only half a dozen permits have been issued despite hundreds of pending applications. Now the Energy Information Administration projects a 13 percent decline in off-shore oil production this year.
Obama has also banned offshore oil development outside the Gulf for seven years. Salazar has promulgated new rules making it more costly and difficult to develop energy resources on federal land, and the EPA -- while slowing development of a cross-country pipeline that would expand U.S. access to Canadian oil -- is moving forward with a cap-and-trade energy tax program that Congress rejected in 2010.
What Obama didn't say to the man with 10 kids was what he said in a January 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle: Under his administration, "electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." And he said nothing about his energy secretary, Steven Chu, who told the Wall Street Journal that "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe." At the time, gas was selling there for $10 a gallon. That's two campaign promises Obama is well on his way to keeping.
 
Do any of you, including Fowl-Breath, notice that the legislation referred to in the article cited by Fowl is a year old and has already been vetoed by Jan Brewer. Even an ultra nut like her was embarrased by this kind of nonsense. Are all of you going out tonight in your chicken suits? And there is one other campaign promise that Obama will keep. He will be chickened's president for four more years. Enjoy
 
This kind of thing really shows the sad state of affairs politics are in. Useless pieces of legislation that are designed to appease the below average intelligence voter. Like that bill in Tennessee banning Sharia law. Because Sharia law is such a prevalent problem in Tennessee. Now you got this bill which is a direct shot at our president(I don't care what they say). I'd rather our lawmakers spend their time and our money just a little bit more wisely.

About the birther thing.. It didn't work in 2008 and it isn't working today. Hanging onto it really only projects desperation.


You gotta admit, it's still pretty funny to watch. Didn't know about that Tennessee one.

Not if Jesse Jackson gets to him first.

I won't post it but he said he was going to neuter him.

It may interest you to know that it was congress, not the president, that voted not to end the tax breaks for big oil. Heaven knows they need those tax breaks with this year's record breaking profits.

I remember that comment by Jesse Jackson. I really wish our media wouldn't give him so much attention.. He just bugs the crap out of me. Him and Sharpton. Maybe they aren't bad people but they really get on my nerves.. almost like Nancy Grace(lets not even open that can of worms).
