What's Wrong With This Picture?

Obama and his lackeys have been going on lately about green energy, greener, more environmentally-friendly vehicles, wind power, solar power, etc. Apart from objecting to who is speaking on this, I don't have a problem with the idea. I rather approve of it, in fact.

But someone needs to remind the Obamination where he was elected President, and who he and his various stimulus packages are supposed to be helping out. What's wrong with this picture?

Same goes for GM and Chrysler. None of the bailout money should go to any company building any products outside of this country, including companies who are in partnership with foreign companies. American money should stay here at home. That includes those financial institutions that use off-shore employees. It's time for Americans to stand up and just spend their dollars here.

It sickens me that 75% of the money to create jobs went to government jobs that we will never get rid of costing us more money in the long run.

It sickens me that we buy almost 800 billion. BILLION BILLION dollars worth of oil from Arab nations that all want to kill us and Congress forces us to continue doing so rather than drilling and using our own oil. All this while other countries sit off our shores and do sideways drilling in to the gulf area to tap the oil that we should be getting our selves.

Wonder what will happen when one of their platforms springs a leak, and makes a big old mess of our shores? Will he run out and apologize for the US being too close to the oil they're stealing from us?
