"The American people aren't stupid," Barry “Almighty” said on Thursday -- as he insisted that drilling for more oil on U.S. territory is "not a strategy to solve our energy challenge." The president's solution? Algae, for one. There are no quick fixes to the nation's eneergy problem, Barry said, dismissing Republican calls for more drilling as a "bumper sticker." And, as we all know, if anyone knows a thing or two about “bumper stickers”, it would our “Dear Beloved Leader”, Barack Hussein Obama. "We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance -- algae," Barry said at a campaign stop in Florida. "You’ve got a bunch of algae out here, right? If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing all right." Algae? Really? If we can figure it out? That’s his plan? Man, you gotta be kidding.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I seem to remember something about George W. Bush talking about using some stuff called switchgrass as a possible source for ethanol and how he was pretty much ridiculed by imbecilic “global warming” Democrat nutjobs. And now we’re supposed take this idiotic suggestion by Barry “Almighty” to use algae, seriously. Barry’s goal here is to literally starve this country of all reliable sources of energy for no other reason than to pander to the environmental wackos who are part of the kook fringe of the Democrat Party. Barry said the nation could replace up to 17 percent of the oil it imports for transportation with "this fuel that we can grow right here in the United States. And that means greater energy security. That means lower costs. It means more jobs. It means a stronger economy." It’s all nothing but a crock!
Speaking on Fox News with Bret Baier, Charles Krauthammer said he was "impressed by the president's analysis of this situation." Adding, "He talked about something really revolutionary today -- algae -- a $14-million dollar grant for the development of algae. So it's not oil. His solution is algae." Krauthammer quoted Barry as saying algae can be grown right here in the United states: "Now it happens that algae will grow anywhere on earth," Krauthammer continued. "It grows in oceans and lakes and ponds and your swimming pools, when the pool man is on vacation, in snow, in ice, on soil, lives well on turtles, sloths, the bark of trees and rocks. "Now why are we drilling for oil?" Krauthammer continued. "We are the Saudi Arabia of rocks. We have a mountain range called the Rockies, and we are allowing ourselves to be dominated by these oil producers.”
In what was billed as an "energy" speech, which coincidentally, comes at the same time that gasoline prices are skyrocketing toward record levels, Barry downplayed "annual gas price spikes that happen every year." He said the nation needs an "all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy. Yes, oil and gas, but also wind and solar and nuclear and biofuels, and more." That seems to be one of his favorite little phrases these days, an “all-of-the-above” strategy. It’s just that it apparently doesn’t include any new drilling. And I’m not sure how right he is anymore when he says the American people aren’t stupid. Because there is a plethora of evidence that would, at least suggest that, yes they are. Or least a majority of them are. Because they continue to be willing to believe this man’s endless lies and think it perfectly acceptable that he be re-elected. If that isn’t sufficient evidence to perceive them as being stupid, nothing is.
