Stinking Politics

Well I can’t get any straight answers on why our President pushed offshore oil drilling during his recent visit to Brazil. Here is what he said to the Brazilians.


“We want to help you with the technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely. And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers. At a time when we’ve been reminded how easily instability in other parts of the world can affect the price of oil, the United States could not be happier with the potential for a new, stable source of energy.”


I wonder why he does not support our offshore drilling. It scares me to think he feels a Socialist State owned Brazilian Company is more worthy of our help than our own nations needs. Some feel our energy issues are more important than our lustful quest to drive our debt and nation into oblivion by buying votes from our own entrenched dependent “progressives”. It may be like many complicated issues, President Obama is only giving lip service to fellow beings in the cause and his words are hollow. Many feel he would never support any type of offshore oil drilling anywhere for any reason. I feel he is more comfortable supporting a Socialist concern in Brazil than a free enterprise effort here at home and the environment is apparently of little consequence when it comes to schmoosing comrades. What is clear now is that American banking interests and others have been looking to invest in Brazils offshore regions for several years and President Obama’s blessing although hypocritical is welcome as it helps the world and us in meeting our energy needs. I just wish he had the same interest here at home. There are many workers who need jobs here too. I guess selling a few drill bits and some pipe will have to do and our oil workers can remain wards of the State just like Brazils oil workers. All in all I guess life is good.
