Is Obama Asking America To Commit Suicide

Barack Hussein Obama is one of the most articulate Presidents we have had. His ability to deliver a speech or a short talk such as his first from the Oval Office Tuesday evening is impressive. He knows how to deliver an address.  What he doesn’t know or doesn’t care about is the difference between the truth and a lie.

Obama’s fifteen-minute address was the piling on of one lie after another regarding America’s use of energy and its needs for the future.  There is an abundance of oil, but with the wealth it creates there is also massive corruption in many of the nations that possess it.

There are tremendous challenges and costs to find oil, drill for it, transport it, and refine it. It is an industry that requires huge amounts of money to discover new reservoirs of oil and even more to acquire it. It involves tremendous risk as well. Oil companies that hit too many dry wells are no longer in business.

This extraordinary mineral is a part of every aspect of our lives; used to create plastic, used in pharmaceuticals, used for the asphalt that pave our highways, and used as the fuel for our cars, trucks, and for countless other applications.

Obama cited China as a nation pursuing “clean energy”, but he said nothing of the new coal-fired plants to generate electricity that China has been opening every week in recent years and will continue to do in the years ahead. The president did not mention that China is literally drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Cuba. Like every modern nation, China needs oil.

Obama is lying. There is no “clean energy future” when he talks of solar and wind energy.   Neither solar or wind can begin to compete with oil, coal and natural gas. If they were viable, the government would not have to plunder the national treasury to provide them with subsidies, requiring that they be included as a source by utilities.

Coal provides fifty percent of our electricity and it could provide even more; a source that could last for centuries, except that the Obama administration is doing everything it can to thwart the building of new coal-fired plants, to shut down coal mining operations.

Obama is asking America to commit suicide.  If Americans continue to believe his lies, if we continue to believe decades of lies by environmental organizations, many of whom have been the happy recipients of oil industry largess and support, and if we abandon the very sources of energy on which our entire economy and way of life depends, Obama will have led America off the cliff.
