I’m back again, ticked off at the world and ready to shove my opinion in your face. If you don’t like it, I don’t care. Just stop complaining.

Offshore drilling in the U.S. has long been opposed by President Obama for some reason, but why is it that U.S. Export-Import Bank promised Petrobras, Brazil’s state-owned oil company, $2 billion in loan guarantees to help finance lucrative drilling off the shores of Rio De Janeiro. Source. So let me try to understand this rationale thinking that the president has. It’s not ok for us to decrease our dependency on foreign oil by drilling off our own shores, but it’s ok to fund another country.

Now it seems we are a few years or so past the Valerie Plame case and many people still seem to think that Karl Rove and Bush leaked her name instead of Dick Armitage. While there was a lot of outrage over that, a picture of former CIA interrogators were shown to Gitmo detainees and one’s name was even released publicly by the New York Times. Seems like a lot of hypocrisy.

Talk of hypocrisy, it seems that Obama is asking clergy to promote his health care bill from the pulpit. Source. Where is the outcry from the people who want separation of church and state?

Ah, back to health care. Mr. President, if tax dollars will not be used to fund abortions, illegal immigrants will not be receiving free health care and this will not lead to a single payer system, show us that in writing in the bill. You CAN’T and therefore you just say what you want and say those opposed to your “reform” bill are lying. I’ve had enough lies, put your money where your mouth is.

Personally, anyone who can hold a newborn baby and not have tears in their eyes and not believe that they need protecting is a cold person.

That’s all for now folks. Discuss this and much more on the phatooine.net message boards.
