Obama is no dummy. I believe he is clever and devious. The third week of October has seen 531,000 more sign up on unemployment. Obama is bound to know global warming caused by CO2 emission is a hoax. He knows over the last 11 years earth has been cooling. Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming was the headlines Feb. 26, 2008.
It reported anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snow cover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, and Chile -- the list goes on and on.
This year is shaping up to be no different. Parts of Oklahoma are expected to see their first freeze which normally occurs more than a week later. Obama wants to discourage the burning of fossil fuels, attributing it to the cause of global warming and push for other energy sources. The United States has plenty of oil but Obama has a way of imposing certain taxes on oil companies that will discourage drilling. Does Obama not know that without diesel fuel, 18 wheelers that haul our food and other goods cannot move? Only diesel, a product of oil, will move the trucks.
Obama wants to impose a carbon tax on coal-fired plants that produce electricity which will make their cost to produce it skyrocket. If he is successful getting the Cap and Trade bill passed, unemployment will also skyrocket. Unemployment through September stood at 9.8 percent. Some say the truth is unemployment is actually around 16 percent.
If Cap and Trade is passed, another 2 million jobs will be lost (Washington Post Oct. 4, 2009). The $787 billion stimulus plan didn’t work. It only put our country into an unrecoverable debt. The Obama health care bill would require more money than could ever be paid back. Do you think Obama does not know these things? Why has he surrounded himself with such radicals (Marxist-Socialists) as Glenn Beck has pointed out? The only distinguished person in Obama’s entire staff is Robert Gates. History may record that Glenn Beck was Obama’s Achilles’ heel.
