That was a good read. Thanks for posting.
Mike Savage talked about this a bit last night on his radio show. Glenn Beck talked about this about a month ago;
The President's actions are so bizarre that they mystify his critics and supporters alike. Consider this headline from the Aug. 18, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal: "Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling." Did you read that correctly? You did. The Administration supports offshore drilling--but drilling off the shores of Brazil. With Obama's backing, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered $2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to finance exploration in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro--not so the oil ends up in the U.S. He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil.Now, why would a POTUS, order a moratorium on American off shore drilling, create job losses and possibly edge gas prices up here in America? Why give Brazil or Mexico all that money, especially in these trying times, to help fund them? Doesn't make sense does it? Is he the President of the United States or Brazil or Mexico? He's definitely not looking out for America's best interests or the American people's best interests, that's for sure.
(Kind of sounds like that whole "redistribute the wealth" thing to me.)
