If my dislike and distrust of Obama’s regime and its policies were not founded on such visceral disagreements, I might feel sorry for the guy. But they are and I don’t.
Sometime last week, Obama and the new British Prime Minister spoke on the phone as the latter asked the former to ease up on the bashing of “British Petroleum”. This attack, and that’s how it has been perceived on the right side of the Atlantic, has caused a sea change of opinion with regards to the Anointed One’s popularity. Not that they get to vote but Obama will take adoration wherever he can find it.
All day yesterday, media outlets were hyping the first address to the Nation from the Oval Office. And then it happened and the White House waited for the flood of plaudits from the likes of MSNBC and the New York Times. And they waited, and they waited ……
Almost to a man, the Left lambasted it and with good cause. Even Olberman and little Chrissy and Maureen Dowd and David Gergen could not be relied on for a good word. So when he of the tingly leg votes merely “Present” and when the socialist Brits turn their backs, where is a narcissist to go?
According to a national poll out today there is one demographic group that remains loyal. With people making less than $2000 per month support for Obama is resolute. Of course, they don’t pay income tax and they get most of the actual and proposed benefits and so that may have something to do with it.
But now let’s take a look at the speech but before we do, let’s review this regime’s success so far.
Unemployment is close to 10% despite the pledge to hold it at 8 if the “stimulus” package passed.
Our balance of payments and the subsequent national debt is twice as bad as it’s ever been even under the evil Bush.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae failed on Obama’s watch and directly because of Democratic policies.
We spent billions bailing out the auto industry and we got what?
As anyone in any border state can tell you the flow of illegals into this country goes unchecked and unabated while states like Arizona are castigated for doing the job the Feds won’t do.

Obama's bowing and scraping tour of the Middle East did not end Islamic terrorist attacks on the US as witnessed by the "Panty Bomber" last Christmas and the attempt in Times Square last month.
And for Code Pink, we are still in 2 wars.
So why on Earth should the American public feel good about Obama’s ability to lead on anything or deliver on his promises?
Instead, taking Rahm Emanuel’s mantra to heart, Obama decided to use this crisis to his political advantage and push for passage of “Cap and Tax” legislation in the Senate. Would somebody tell me just what is “clean, profitable energy”? If such a thing existed or was even on the far horizon, would we not see Exxon Solar or Chevron Wind? Those corporations are not in the business of oil. They are in the business of profit for their stockholders. And you don’t have to drill anywhere in order to find sun and wind.
And he was so proud of his moratorium on ocean drilling. But, think about this; Right now there are 33 very expensive oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico but, rest assured, the companies that operate them will not allow them to sit idle for very long.
Instead they will be redeployed, perhaps to Mexican or Venezuelan waters, and we will have taken another step towards European fuel prices. And the wells they drill will still be in the Gulf.

And, by the way, if the oil industry deserts the Gulf, 120,000 jobs will go as well.
How’s that Hope and Change working for ya?
