Seems Joe Biden cannot help himself. At a rally, Biden was introducing some local officials, and he welcomed one gentleman named Charlie. Biden said, "Let's hear it for Charlie. Charlie, stand up so folks can see you." Well, Charlie is confined to a wheelchair.
If that wasn't bad enough, Mr Obama’s running-mate, was accused of having “sunk to a new low” after referring to Mrs Palin’s fifth child, born in April with Down’s syndrome, when he asked at a rally: “If you care about [children with special needs], why don’t you support stem cell research?”
He later told a Chicago fundraising event that there was still “a lack of ease about Barack” among white suburban voters, Jews and Catholics. And yesterday he conceded that Hillary Clinton might have been a better vice-presidential pick than him.
Interestingly enough, Obama will be in New York on Thursday and will be having lunch with Bill Clinton at Clinton's office in Harlem. Wonder what's going on that Obama is going to kiss the ring on Clinton's political hand?

Obama: Politics of Hope and Real Change
Desperate men do desperate things in desperate times.
Barack Hussein Obama is an unsullied presidential candidate. In fact, he is an unsullied politician. When you run in elections as the candidate for the Chicago Political Machine, you should win hands down because as a community organizer for the Machine all you have to do is walk around and hand out money to voters. Well, Barack Hussein Obama was soundly defeated eight years ago in his first election after which he always faced candidates who miraculously had a sudden personal scandal that mysteriously arrived shortly before an election.
The 2008 Dem primary was no challenge for Barack Hussein Obama because he laid the ground rules: can't criticize his ears, his middle name, his background, his mother, his father, his half siblings, his grandmother ( scratch that one because he threw Granny under the bus never to be seen or heard from again!), William Ayers (notorious terrorist who attempt to blow up the US Capitol and the US Pentagon, pastor Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, and of course, Michelle My Belle.
Well, the unsullied, unexamined, unvetted Dem presidential candidate is now desperate because the Republicans are attacking him on issues, and since he's voted "present" 90%+ times, he has no significant voting record. We do know, however, that he voted TWICE FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! In the Washington Post, Tuesday, September 9, 2008 in Paul Kane's article,"Stevens: No 'Bridge to Nowhere' Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) spoke up as a defender of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's position on the controversial "Bridge to Nowhere" project. Stevens, who once threatened to resign his Senate seat in 2005 if $223 million for the bridge project was defeated, told reporters today that Palin was never a supporter of the project, which has quickly become a bone of contention in defining the GOP vice-presidential nominee's self proclaimed image as a maverick reformer who took on "the good ol' boys network" of Alaska Republicans. "I don't remember her ever campaigning for it. As a matter of fact, she was very critical of it at the time. And she took the money and did not use it for the bridge, so you're wrong, as far as I'm concerned," Stevens said today.
So how does Barack Hussein Obama counter the Republican attacks?
You play the victim (just what we want in a President, someone who loves a pity-party!). Now Barack Hussein Obama's strategy is to personalize his attacks against Governor Sarah Palin.
Here is his latest comment on Tuesday night, September 9, 2008: “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” Barack Hussein Obama said during a town-hall meeting as he delivered what he thought was a funny comment and attack on the McCain-Palin ticket.
How pathetic is this for someone who wants to be the leader of the free world! Will he name call Ahmandinejad? Putin? Chavez? Medvedev? Hu Jintao? Probably not, because Barack Hussein Obama is the victim who has no intestinal fortitude to stand up to any criticism without pitching a hissy fit.

A Letter to Senator Obama
Only hearing and viewing this video letter can make the case: Dear Mr. Obama,
Reaching Across the Aisle
Senator Obama proudly claims he reaches across the aisle in the U.S. Senate to work with Republicans. In an interview with Chris Wallace on FoxNews Sunday, Obama stated he reached across the aisle on two specific pieces of legislation: ethics reform and nuclear proliferation.
Here's the dilemma Senator Obama. Both of these pieces of legislation passed unanimously. So how did you reach across the aisle that was unique from the other 99 Senators voting on these two pieces of legislation?

From Obama's Own Mouth: "my Muslim faith"
On Sunday September 7, 2008 in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News' show 'This Week', Barack Hussein Obama uttered these words, "my Muslim faith".
Obama was trying to criticize what he called a smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
Obama said that Republicans are attempting to scare voters by suggesting he is not Christian. Mr. Stephanopoulos repeatedly interrupted Sen. Obama to challenge Obama on the authenticity of these charges with the following, "The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections." To which Sen. Obama responded,"I don't think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let's say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks." Again, the ABC host interrupted the Senator with this statement:"But John McCain said that's wrong."
As the Democratic talking points of the past week have been to attack Governor Palin's personal family, Mr. Obama noted that when Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin "was forced" to talk about her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, he issued a forceful statement to reporters that the line of inquiry was "off limits." But he said the McCain campaign tried to tie him to "liberal blogs that support Obama" and are "attacking Governor Palin."
Obama stated that he finds it "deeply offensive" that there are efforts "coming out of the Republican camp to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith."
"Let's not play games," he said. "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come."
Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, "Christian faith."
"My Christian faith," Mr. Obama said quickly. "Well, what I'm saying is that he hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith -- something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time."

Obama's Lobbying Connections
Obama likes to tout that McCain depends on lobbyists. Well, perhaps Senator Obama needs to be a little more honest with the American public.
His campaign manager is David Axelrod, Democratic consultant, lobbyist, and henchman for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and the Chicago Political Machine.
His Campaign finance manager is Penny Pritzker former banking lobbyist and former chairwoman of the Hyatt Hotel chain; former chairman of Superior Bank FSB that went bankrupt. According to FDCI reports, Pritzker's strategy of high risk investments focusing on significant volumes of sub-prime mortgages was an unsound management strategy, and her ailure to establish a sufficient oversight management resulted in the collapse of Superior Bank costing the FDIC $750 million.
Jim Johnson, Obama supporter and advisor, was the former Chairman of Fannie Mae. Johnson personally received 3 loans in the total sum of $1.7 million from the now infamous CountryWide Financial Corporation.
Tony Rezko and his wife helped Obama and his wife Michelle secure a loan to buy their present home in the Chicago suburbs. If you haven't heard of Tony Rezko, you will hear more about his corrupt slum lord dealings later.
Obama seems to have close political ties to those who were heavily involved in promoting the sub-prime housing markets that have led to the housing and financial crisis in the United States. Many of his campaign staff and underlings are former lobbyists and banking executives who have raised millions of dollars for Obama's campaigns. Obama's background in the Chicago Political Machine where deals and favors are the norm should raise the question of how would Obama really reform the housing industry if he is financially obligated to those who helped create the economic and credit crisis?

Persistent Attacks Continue
We are all entitled to an opinion about political personalities. I can find fault with virtually every politician, especially if they have not supported my perspective on issues. However, I also know that I can write anything and post it on the internet, and it would pass the sniff test. Presently, we know that Democratic operatives and hacks are masquerading on the internet with some of the most vicious personal attacks on Gov. Palin. Some of the Obama staffers are attempting to get McCain to dump Palin like Mcgovern did in 1972 by having the media constantly attack her family and her character. If this letter is true, I find it hard to believe that she would have an 80% popularity rating in Alaska. In 2006, Newsweek Magazine featured her on its cover and proclaimed her an outstanding governor. Only this week, in 2008, has their view changed.
I, for one, will proudly support the McCain-Palin ticket as I see the Obama-Biden ticket moving us towards increased taxation on businesses which will only increase the growing unemployment rate, and more importantly,increasing the inflation rate while also increasing the size and scope of the federal government and its bureaucracy. Both increased taxes on businesses and rising inflation will return us to the Carter years of stagflation.
In my humble opinion as a retired Political Science and Economics instructor, the energy crisis is the most crucial national security risk facing this nation, and watching the Do-Nothing Democractic controlled Congress refuse to take a straight up or down vote on drilling offshore leaves me perplexed. Is their stance on this issue all because they have great disdain for Republicans?
We will always need oil. No manufacturing or industry can operate machinery without oil for lubrication and production of goods and services. The production of goods and services is what grows our economy and creates jobs. Yes, we need a comprehensive energy plan, but until we can develop alternative sources requiring at least 10 years,we will need to drill for our own oil supply. We should have been drilling long ago in order to reduce our foreign dependency and to bridge the gap until the alternative sources were developed. Somehow I just don't see myself driving a car with a windmill on the back of the car hoping the wind will blow so my car will move.
The second most crucial national security risk remains the War on Terrorism, which has replaced the Cold War. Russia, however, seems to have decided that there should be a Cold War over the control of gas and oil lines, and this has the potential to become the new form of terrorism. The Obama-Biden ticket does not strike me as strongly committed to the seriousness of this issue and that of protecting Israel from a nuclear Iran. Senator Biden, in a clandestine meeting with some Israeli officials, told those officials that Israel should get over it and not worry about an Iran with nuclear weapons. Admittedly, I am personally biased when it comes to Israel because my dearest friends in the world are Jewish, and for that I remain a strong and faithful Zionist.
A continuation of policies of big government and complacency on national security and economic issues are not the direction this nation needs. Nor can we endure another Carter style stagflation.

What is a Chicago Community Organizer?
After researching this occupation, we finally found a semblance of a job description for this position that Obama proudly touts as his executive experience. Using references to his own memoirs, it is pretty clear what his job in Chicago was. Barack Hussein Obama was a street, precinct organizer for the Cook County Democractic Political Machine.
Yes, the man who wants to be President has touted his experience and record as a community organizer turns out to be nothing more than a street organizer for the Richard Daley Chicago Political Machine. Definitely no transparency nor accountability in this job!
He worked for John Stroger, who served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners. Stroger ran a politically corrupt Machine that funneled walking around money to the streets in Chicago for the explicit purpose of buying votes. Eventually, even the Daley Political Machine turned against the corrupt Stroger.
As a doorknocker for Stroger, Obama knows the role of cronyism and patronage up close and personal. Patronage is handing out tax dollars to friends who in turn do favors such as buy votes on the street.
The way to get to be a community organizer in the Chicago Cook County Political Machine is to have the right political connections. There are no qualifications for this job. The only requirement is to provide campaign contributions to the Daly Machine.
One of the political hacks of Mayor Daley who oversaw the campaign organizers is none other than David Axelrod, 2008 campaign manager for Barack Obama. Now, since Axelrod is in daily contact and communciation with Mayor Daley, who is running the Obama campaign? The Chicago Political Machine perhaps?
In 2004 Michelle Obama worked in public relations and community development for the University of Chicago Hospital making $121,910 annually. When her husband was elected to the US Senate in 2005, her salary almost tripled to $316,962. Shortly after her pay raise, Senator Obama requested a $1 million earmark for the University of Chicago Hospital.
So, what kind of political change does Barack Hussein Obama really plan on bringing to Washington?

An Open Letter to Sally Quinn of the Washington Post
It may come as a real shock to you and the rest of the angry, liberal women that there are Christian women who actually know who G-d is, have faith in G-d, and go to G-d in prayer---everyday, every hour, whenever needed. What is even more amazing, contrary to Andrea Mitchell's proclamation, some of us are educated with graduate degrees who are ACTIVELY volunteering not only for Sarah Palin but the GOP. The best thing you and your ilk have done for the Republicans in your audacity of arrogance and ignorance is MOTIVATE us. Oh, and guess what? Some of us even have our own Phi Beta Kappa keys!
I was raised a Southern Baptist. I would still be a Southern Baptist had I not made the decision to join the Presbyterian Church when I married for the sake of raising a family in a unified faith. The protracted argument you make about women of faith not being allowed to serve as pastors in some denominations is the beauty of FREE CHOICE. Each denomination can determine its rules about how it chooses to operate and structure its congregations. If Anne Graham Lotz was angry and bitterly clinging to her notion about not being a pastor, she has the free will, the free choice to join a denomination that gives her that opportunity. My advice to you: "Judge not lest ye be judged."
Perhaps a tactic for you is to read the books of Galatians, 1 Timothy, and Titus in the New Testament of the Bible. (For those not familiar with the location of the New Testament in the Bible, it is towards the end of the Bible. Of course, there is always the table of contents for assistance in locating these in the Bible.) Instead of protracting only one scripture and drawing conclusions, perhaps reading the scriptures in the entire context of the message would bring you more clarity. In these particular books of the New Testament, you will understand that in a marriage, neither partner should attempt to outshine their spouse as marriage is a mutual relationship of respect, honor, and love.
Your criticism of Sarah Palin's professional and personal decisions about working and family is presumptuously biased. I don't believe you have criticized Soledad O'Brien for working with 4 children under the age of 9, Nancy Pelosi for working with her gang of kids, Campbell Brown for working with such a young toddler, Judy Woodruff for working with a special needs child, and the list goes on and on.
Liberalism in your ideology is exclusionary. No one who deviates from what you have determined to be truth can be tolerated. Ms. Quinn, that is not liberalism; instead, that is a closed-minded biased assumption that all the knowledge of how to live one's life rests with you. True liberalism that emerged from the Enlightenment Philosophy leading to the American Revolution was a broad umbrella of ideology allowing for civil discourse on issues without the castigation of a person for disagreeing. The beauty of the United States is that we allow individuals and families, such as Sarah Palin, the opportunity to choose how she and her husband handle their personal family decisions without you, the left wing kook media, or the central government in Washington telling her and Mr. Palin how to live their lives.
Perhaps the left is miffed because the Republicans strongly stand behind their women and do not play the sexism card. Are the women on the left jealous over the fact that your party chose NOT to put a woman on your ticket for the 2008 Election? I am sorry you and the other liberal women feel left out. That is the Democratic Party's responsibility, not the Republican Party's fault. Perhaps you should discuss this with Howard Dean and Barack Obama as to why women on your side have been excluded and segregated from the political arena in 2008.

SARAH PALIN's SPEECH
Mark it down, September 3, 2008, the Republican Party took a giant step with Sarah Palin: a working mom, a PTA mom, a hockey mom, a wife, a reformer, a fighter, a devoted family person, a small town woman, a governor.
Boy, did she deliver!
Boy, did she deliver!
Andrea Mitchell and the Angry Left Wing Kooks
The Angry Left Wing Kooks have decided to make character assassination their strategy in the 2008 election. Joining in the fray is the socialist mainstream media.
Chiming in with her two cents worth of ignorance is NBC's Andrea Mitchell who stated that only uneducated, blue collar women would possibly consider voting for someone like Governor Sarah Palin.
Guess what, Andrea. You're dead wrong. I happen to be an educated woman who holds a Master of Arts degree and am a proud member of Phi Beta Kappa. I am actively supporting Governor Sarah Palin as the Vice President of the United States. You and your Democratic cohorts in crime realize now you blew it at your convention. You had two shots at putting a woman on your ticket, and two times you shot it down. The next time you want to discuss something intelligibly, I'll see if I can fit you into my schedule.
While we're on it, Andrea, the next time you and your Meet the Press cronies want to condemn a working mother and wonder how she can work and take care of a special needs child, I strongly recommend you ask your close friend Judy Woodruff at CNN-Washington, how she takes care of her special needs son.

Why I Am A Republican
Senator McCain, August 27, 2008
I am writing to tell you why I became a Republican, and why I think it is important for your campaign and for our party. There is one reason why I became a Republican, and only one reason: my mother. My mother has inspired me to achieve many great things in my life, including learning about and devoutly remaining loyal to the Republican party.
My mother, a lifelong Republican, like Hillary Clinton, was a Goldwater girl in 1964 -- she travelled all over Hale County, Alabama convincing its citizens that a century-long boycott of our great party needed to end in order for their best interests to truly be served. It was a difficult job that did not yield an election victory, but it inspired and furthered a belief in Republican principles in my mother that remains strong and vibrant.
As a political and economic systems teacher, my mother not only influenced me but many others to strongly consider the party that stands for less government and more individual liberties, that believes in protecting our security at home and abroad, and that encourages the American entrepreneurial spirit. My mother taught me about the true greatness of Richard Nixon, of the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt and of the courage of Abraham Lincoln. I was fortunate enough to be old enough to witness Ronald Reagan's magnificence, but my mother was the one explaining why Reaganomics formed a sound economic policy and why Reagan's foreign policies would end the Cold War.
I write to tell you this because I see a tremendous opportunity for you, Senator McCain, as the visionary you are to lead our party to groundbreaking new places that would open people's eyes to the fact that our party is the party which truly represents the party of opportunity and liberty, and would destroy the use of identity politics to undermine the Republican Party's message. By naming a strong female candidate as your vice presidential nominee, whether it be Kay Bailey Hutchison (whom I supported in an earlier email) or Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman or Condoleeza Rice or Sarah Palin, we as Republicans could show women who respects their voice and who lifts them to higher levels.
There are many ways which one chooses their party affiliation, but please do not underestimate the power of primacy. Many, if not most or all, people first learn about party affiliations from their parents, and often from their mothers. My mother inspired me to do many things, including to become an attorney (who will be proudly volunteering for Lawyers for McCain) and of course, to be a proud Republican. By reaching out to female voters by naming a female vice presidential nominee, the Republican Party could potentially gain the trust and loyalty of many women who are or could become mothers who might impact their children the way my mother has impacted me.
One further point: I have an 18-month old daughter whom I will teach about Republican values, but whom I will support no matter what party affiliation she chooses in the future. It would make my heart swell with pride if I would be able to tell her that it was a Republican woman who became our nation's first female vice president and it truly was possible for her to achieve whatever she wants in life. Like her or not, watching Hillary Clinton's campaign this spring gave me pride when I held my daughter because I was able to tell her that anything can be achieved -- I want my party to show women that it is the party where that is truly possible.
Please do not underestimate your ability to do something historic here: Walter Mondale may be remembered as the first presidential candidate to name a female vice presidential nominee, but you would be remembered as the first President who named a female to be their Vice President, and as the man who revolutionized the Republican Party and its relationship with our nation's many strong women. God bless you, and the best of luck in the coming days and weeks.
All the best,

I am writing to tell you why I became a Republican, and why I think it is important for your campaign and for our party. There is one reason why I became a Republican, and only one reason: my mother. My mother has inspired me to achieve many great things in my life, including learning about and devoutly remaining loyal to the Republican party.
My mother, a lifelong Republican, like Hillary Clinton, was a Goldwater girl in 1964 -- she travelled all over Hale County, Alabama convincing its citizens that a century-long boycott of our great party needed to end in order for their best interests to truly be served. It was a difficult job that did not yield an election victory, but it inspired and furthered a belief in Republican principles in my mother that remains strong and vibrant.
As a political and economic systems teacher, my mother not only influenced me but many others to strongly consider the party that stands for less government and more individual liberties, that believes in protecting our security at home and abroad, and that encourages the American entrepreneurial spirit. My mother taught me about the true greatness of Richard Nixon, of the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt and of the courage of Abraham Lincoln. I was fortunate enough to be old enough to witness Ronald Reagan's magnificence, but my mother was the one explaining why Reaganomics formed a sound economic policy and why Reagan's foreign policies would end the Cold War.

A 17 Year Old Pregnant Girl
We're hearing a lot of criticism by the mainstream media and the Democratic blog hackers these days about a 17 year old pregnant girl. Wonder why these same people didn't criticize a similar situation when Stanley Ann Dunham of Kansas found herself pregnant and unmarried at 17? Oh, that's right. She gave birth to a boy named Barack Hussein Obama so that's okay. After all, he turned out to be a Democrat. Isn't it interesting that apparently his mother was pro-life instead of pro-choice at that particular time?

Joe Biden's Advice to Israel
Well, it seems the foreign policy expertise of Joe Biden makes him qualified to advise the Israelis: accept a nuclear Iran. Wonder what the Israelis think of his preposterous position which would lead to the possible destruction of Israel?
Read it for yourself at Joe Biden Advises Israel to Accept a Nuclear Iran.

Dem Criticism
The reaction of the Dems to John McCain's selection of Governone Sarah Palin is without a doubt disgustingly nothing more than sour grapes. The truth is they had two shots at having a woman on their ticket. Twice the Dems rejected a woman. McCain chose a woman as his running mate, and the Dems have decided to belittle her, criticize her lack of experience, which is a laughable criticism.
Sarah Palin has 16 years of executive experience. Now the Dems decided to ridicule her mayoral position of a small town. Is this an attempt to belittle small town USA? Is this an attempt to ridicule middle America? Well, here's a news flash for the Dems and the Obama campaign: The heart and soul the America is small town USA. Not everyone chooses to live in the Big Apple, the City of Brotherly Love, nor the Windy City.
Sarah Palin is the only candidate to have run a government (Barack Obama has run the Chicago Democratic Machine's ground efforts to distribute campaign money to street workers), and Sarah Palin is the only candidate to serve as Commander-in-Chief serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard.
The Obama campaign needs to remember: Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Star Studded Acropolis or the Common Man?
John McCain does not need the trappings and endorsement of Hollywood, nor does he need the colossal grandiosity of a star studded stage and night for the American people to know that he has and remains ready to serve the people of the United States. He knows what it is to cling to faith out of love and compassion for his fellow soldiers and the American people.
Joe Biden says we don't need a good soldier. Wrong, again, Joe. We always need good soldiers serving our nation whether it is at home or abroad.
John McCain is the man who can lead us by establishing Our Country First: Reform, Prosperity, and Peace.
God Bless the great people and especially the good men and women who serve this nation, and God Bless the United States of America.

Now is the Time!
The time has come for the Republican Party to stand up for the party values that it demonstrated in 1854..liberation and equality. Senator McCain could be the maverick, the leader who says it is time to recognize the power and leadership of women. Women have taken the back seat in this party, in this election process for far too long.
My great great grandfather was one of the first Republicans in the state of Alabama in 1861 when he decided to leave the Democratic Party and stay with the Union. I am proud of his courage to go outside the box and take a risk. He was a hero to many then, and he remains a hero to me. He stood up for what was right and good.
I urge the Senator to look at what needs to be done for the faithful women of this party and nation who need the chance to lead. Kay Bailey Hutchison is the right woman,who has experience and leadership. Now is the time to lead, not follow.

Gas Prices on the Rise!
When the Russians invaded democratic Georgia recently, it was done for two reasons. First, Putin is leading a movement to restore the Soviet Union, and this was the first step in the re-acquisition of the former satellites. Second, Georgia has an important oil and gas line running to a port on the Black Sea.
Putin, make no mistake, is still in power. He was the former KGB chief under the USSR and knows how to play hardball. When the USSR collapsed, Putin remarked that this was the greatest tragedy in Russian history.
Ever since the days of Peter the Great, the Russians have sought a “Window on the West” so they could access economic resources and wealth. Georgia’s port, oil, and natural gas meet that “Window on the West” dream.
For the last several years, Russia has accumulated wealth. This wealth is based on oil and natural gas. This is basically the only real economic machine keeping Russia afloat. That’s right: oil and natural gas. Russia’s livelihood depends on the flow of oil.
Georgia, prior to Russia’s invasion, is and remains hostile to Russia. Furthermore, Georgia is an ally of the US and wants to be admitted to NATO, which Russia fears and hates.
When George W. Bush issued an executive order lifting a ban on off-shore drilling, when Americans practiced consumer sovereignty and stopped consuming as much gas, and when 70% of Americans started calling for off-shore drilling, guess what happened to gas prices? That’s right. Prices dropped.
Russia cannot afford for oil prices to drop because oil and natural gas are the lifeblood of Russia’s economy. If oil prices drop, Putin’s economy will collapse, the Russian people will suffer greatly, and the Russian people will recall the food lines, the shortage of consumer goods that brought the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Putin does not want to face an angry Russian populace.
Hence, an invasion of little Georgia was orchestrated to take place while the world would be quietly watching the Olympics. However, indicators of Putin’s designs on restoring the Russian Empire have been subtly appearing over the last several years. The US is being held hostage by Putin and his oil thirst. The US really does not want to go to war with Russia. Putin knows this, and Putin is keeping his Russian forces in Georgia in violation of the recently signed cease-fire because he is attempting to drive up the oil prices.
Driving up oil prices is his bargaining chip. If Bush would abandon Georgia, then Putin might consider pulling out of Georgia and lowering gas prices a little.
Putin is playing blackmail with the US using oil and Georgia as the bait. The liberals will claim this is the reason we need alternatives instead of oil. No, what we need is a comprehensive energy plan. We will always need some oil: paint, plastics, acrylics, make-up, nylon, polyester, manufacturing, oil for lubricating machinery, and the list goes on and on. Windmills will not lubricate machinery. Windmills and solar will not make paint nor lubricate the motors and engines in our cars, trucks, airplanes, buses, trains, etc.
Until we can develop a comprehensive energy policy, we need to drill now.
Russia’s blackmail is even more of a reason we need to drill now. Waiting is merely capitulating to the blackmailers. The one person who can end this blackmail is the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, but apparently this multi-millionaire socialite is more concerned with marketing her failed book than ending the energy crisis.
