'The Velvet Mouthpiece'

Let me begin by stating that I voted for Barack Obama and have supported his job as President up to this point, even though I have not agreed with every decision he has made.  But I'm finding his decision to allow new oil drilling incredibly hard to swallow.  Actually, I'm outraged!  I have said this before on this blog, and I will say it again:

Extraction of oil

From under the soil

Will cause this earth to spoil

I believe that our earth has a natural cooling system; the oil that we extract from under the ground is THE lubricating coolant for this planet.  (Imagine for a moment that this earth is like the engine in a car.  If the car's engine develops an oil leak and the leaked oil is not replaced, eventually all of the oil will be used up, the engine will seriously overheat and be damaged beyond repair.)  The lubricant/coolant is just part of this earth's cooling system.  Coal is this earth's insulation, and we're mining it into nonexistence, just so that a few folks on this earth can make lots of money.  We have other ways of heating our homes and making energy.  Coal is not a clean energy, no matter what any lobbyist or politician tells us.  So we the humans are extracting our earth's lubricant and it is not being replaced, and we the humans are stripping the insulation that is coal from this earth, and we wonder what is causing climate change.?  And our current President has made a decision to allow MORE drilling, supposedly to "end" our dependence on foreign oil.

Bullshit!!!

I say that it is just a very poor decision.  A very poor political decision!  But now that this has opened my eyes, I have decided to look at his accomplishments, thus far in his presidency.  The Health Care Reform Bill that was just passed was modeled after a 1994 version that the conservative Heritage Foundation had proposed.  So this Congress passed a sixteen-year-old conservative Republican version of health care reform.  And this decision to open more territories for oil drilling is exactly what The Republicans chanted during the last campaign season, "Drill, Baby, Drill!".  I did not see this coming, because I was looking for his socialist's ways that the teabaggers have been claiming.  Turns out, he is a continuation of those wasteful eight years of Capitalist Republican George Troubleyou Bush.  There is nothing socialist about Barack Obama; he is a capitalist, through and through.

This decision to do more oil drilling does NOT represent progress!
