My thoughts on the long gas lines & the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy...

Besides offering up prayers for those who were severely affected by Sandy, here are some of my observations....

President Obama meeting with Chris Christie

President Obama appeared with Gov. Chris Christie who was effusive in his praise of Obama to the point of saying that the presidential election didn't even matter. But what got my attention were the comments made by the drive-by media concerning Obama's appearance. "He looks so presidential." That was what you heard on every network and cable news outlet, "Obama looks so presidential!" Well, if being alongside Chris Christie and spending an hour or so surveying the storm damage makes him look presidential, what did he look like on Monday or Tuesday of this week? Or last week? Last month? Did Obama look Presidential when he appeared on David Letterman or MTV, or with Jay-Z?

President Obama has declared that EPA regulations and clean-air regulations will be waived so that gas supplies can be expedited to the storm ravaged areas (See "Rules Bent As Gasoline Hard To Get After Sandy"). By doing this, Obama is basically acknowledging that these regulations add to the cost of gasoline and hamper its production and delivery and are not as necessary as we are led to believe. There are long gas lines with people waiting in line for 6-hrs. Gasoline is a precious commodity with many gas stations closed and "no gas" signs displayed everywhere. So here's my question for President Obama: 

Why aren't you mandating and streamlining every effort so that clean-energy can be produced and made available to everyone in this disaster area? Why aren't you doing everything you can to hasten the production of wind and solar energy for this ravaged region? If they can't get gasoline which is produced by the dirty oil industry, why not use this crisis as an opportunity to help everyone in the affected area to get some clean energy--maybe solar or wind energy.

I'm sure most of you reading this would much rather have clean energy made available to you so you don't have to wait in long lines for that "dirty" energy called gasoline, which by the way is produced by Big Oil companies who are polluting the environment. Let's use this crisis as an opportunity to wean ourselves off of gas and start using alternative fuels. Isn't that what the President's been telling us for the past 4 yrs? Here' his golden opportunity to put up or shut up!

Finally, Obama said yesterday that he was going to streamline government so that those affected by Sandy could get through to someone on the phone and that he would cut much of the red tape. To which, Romney has responded that this is what he wants to do every day as President--cut the red tape and regulations which drive up the price of gas, and slow its production and delivery and make government so ineffective. 

Obama wants to reduce the federal regulations for a few weeks because of those in dire need of help, but Romney wants to reduce the federal regulations permanently because we ALL are in dire need of help.

When all is said and done, which guy looks presidential and speaks with concern for all Americans? Obama or Romney? Cast your vote next Tuesday for the one who wants to reduce government regulation and make more gas and energy available as well as more jobs which will lift people out of poverty and dependence on food stamps. Cast your vote for the one who wants to reduce spending, cut the national debt and give us a balanced budget. If you want your 401-k to grow along with your present income, and the value of your home, then vote for Mitt Romney. Cast your vote for the one who wants to keep America  strong and safe by providing a strong military and once again, making America a beacon of hope for the rest of the world. Vote for Mitt Romney. 

Little Things eventually reach a tipping point

Little things matter. Little things can turn around the upcoming November election.

Little things pile up inside people's minds and eventually reach a tipping point.

Little things being forced down our throats eventually bring us to the point where voters in November are going to say, "enough is enough!"

What little things? I'm talking about "little things" like:

• No longer being able to purchase an incandescent light bulb because of government mandate. Why should I be forced to buy an expensive light bulb which is less effective and even more dangerous in terms of disposal?
• In Massachusetts, mandated by school officials: No more baked goods allowed in schools, and there is an effort to extend this ban to football games, weekend activities.
• Gay brainwashing propaganda in our elementary, junior and senior high schools. It's currently taking place in elementary schools in NY, MA, and Los Angeles
• Little things like seeing your electric bill go up because your local utility is forced to buy subsidized wind-generated power.

• Little things like knowing that you're forced to put ethanol into your gas tank even though it's detrimental to the life of your engine, and then you hear that the EPA has MANDATED the percentage of Ethanol increase from 10% to 15%.
• Little things like seeing your president stonewall the Keystone XL Pipeline time and time again, preventing the overnight creation of thousands of jobs.
• Little things like hearing your President take all the credit for killing Osama Bin-Laden at the expense of the Navy Seals who did all the heavy lifting, and put their lives on the line. The President was dragged off the 6th hole of a golf course for a photo op of him watching the killing of Osama Bin-Laden.

• The bias and lies of the media which insult our intelligence with their reporting and phony polls. Many Americans have had it with a media which never vetted Obama, never looked into his academic transcripts but will do an anal exam regarding Mitt Romney. Americans have had it with a media that is in the tank for one party and thinks that those who disagree with them are yahoos, hayseed hicks, bigots with their gun-racks, blue-collar idiots, gun-toting right-wing religious extremists. BTW, those are President Obama's words and thoughts as well.
• Little things like being told when and where you can smoke (I don't smoke but I resent the fact that smokers are treated as 2nd class citizens yet our federal and state governments loving filling their coffers with tax money from cigarettes). The Anti-Smoking Nazis won't be satisfied until they can ban smoking in private homes and cars.
• Little things like being told what you can and cannot eat. The Food Nazis are now mandating what food can and can't be brought by your child to public schools.
• Little things like watching your President attack the Supreme Court and question their right to rule on Obamacare.
• Little things like Nancy Pelosi saying regarding the Obamacare bill: "You'll know what's in it once we pass it."
• Little things like statements from Sen. Max Baucus (MT) to a question as to whether he had read the 2409-page healthcare bill:

“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” Baucus said. “We hire experts.” 

• Little things like seeing your president and his family take their 12th vacation of the year when you can't afford to even take one vacation.
• Little things like hearing your president call-out private citizens as enemies. Little things like the President of the United States having an "enemies' list" which rightly served to bring down Nixon and will hopefully contribute to Obama's demise as well. When in the history of this nation has a sitting President seen fit to attack, shame and threaten      private citizens for contributing to an opponent's campaign? It's currently taking place in the White House by a President who is acting out everything he read in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."
• Little things like hearing our President demonize fossil fuel and demonizing Big Oil which daily contributes to our well-being and our Amercan way of life.

• Little things like being told that a snail, rat or spotted owl is more important than a human being or private property or the construction of a bridge or new homes.
• Little things like hearing our President and the Democrats divide the people of this country along racial and gender lines.
• Little things like watching our President attack job-creating corporations.
• Little things like reading that a private company like Boeing Aircraft cannot re-locate their business to South Carolina without the President siding with his best buds and supporters: the unions, the Labor Dept. and then attacking Boeing. A sitting president attacking a private company and dictating where they can or cannot locate their business!!
