In The Final Reality Barry Hussein touts
his green energy project and vastly overstates it potential while grossly
underestimating its cost:
Barry said, “And which brings us to the final stage in
my economic stimulus plan, the Masjid Project. I have promised our country
economic prosperity and energy independence,” he continued, emphasizing his
statement by slamming his fist into his palm. “The Masjid Project is the
solution. As a result our country will no longer need to cater to the oil
suppliers of the world nor will it ever again have to bend in the face of
foreign pressure. We shall stand alone as an energy independent nation.”
The crowd again applauded, weary of his statements.
They had heard similar rhetoric many times in the past and had become almost
numb to his statements. When they looked out at the plateau they saw massive
governmental waste, not prosperity. Instead of excitement, they braced
themselves about hearing the cost of such a huge endeavor. They could only
imagine how much of their country’s hard-earned money had been thrown away on
this supposed “green” project.
It’s just
as we are hearing now in this country by the current Obama administration. As
our gas prices soar to European-level prices Obama has no solution. Instead he
tries to appease his critics by promoting algae and other “green” projects. Don’t
get me wrong, I’m all for America’s independence from foreign oil and
alternative fuels. However, does President Obama really take us all for fools?
As the cost of everything in this country rises as a result of increased gas
prices does he think a bunch of algae will save us from further economic
decline? Does he somehow believe that the hope of algae will take the sting out
of a 70 dollar fuel-up? Does he think we all have short-term memory problems
and can’t remember how it cost less than 30 dollars few years ago to fill our
tanks?
I don’t know about anyone else but I can tell
you that I’m tired of the rhetoric and failed promises. I want answers, not inane
speeches. Algae is not the answer. Dumping taxpayer money blindly into projects
such as Solyndra isn’t either.
Mr.
President, here’s what you should be doing instead blowing a smokescreen to
cover your failed policies:
1. Let free
market run its course. If you want green projects to work, give these companies
incentives and let them compete against each other. The best company with the
best project will prevail. And you know who wins then? All of us Americans.
2. Don’t
throw away money haphazardly in green projects, especially when there’s warning
signs plaguing them day one. Respect our taxpayer dollars and don’t disregard
all the time and energy went into earning it. As president it is your privilege
to spend it- not your right.
3. America
is full of natural resources. Let’s use more of them and stop shipping so much
out to other countries.
4. Hey, if
there’s any stimulus money left, why don’t you lower the gas price with it?
All I’m
trying to say is that we have options here in this country. Unfortunately, President
Obama insists on sticking to his failed energy policy instead of making the necessary
adjustments. Instead of helping the American people and our economy he’d rather
cater to the special interests groups that got him elected. In the end there is
only one question: does our president care more about himself and his reelection
or about us Americans? Think about it.
