| President Obama´s plan for the Outer Continental Shelf does not include any new oil and gas leases in the Atlantic Ocean over the next five years, but it does include windmills. The Interior Department wants to lease nearly 278,000 acres off the coasts of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia for wind energy. The lease sales, to be held next year, will be the first-ever competitive sales on the Outer Continental Shelf for wind energy, and the Interior Department describes the lease sales as "major milestones" in its wind energy program. "Wind energy along the Atlantic holds enormous potential,

Barack Hussein Obama is a madman. I demand to see the results of his yearly medical examination. This is not the Kennedy era where the press can hide severe medical conditions and drugs that are/may be diminishing his ability to think and reason. His behavior is not normal by any stretch of the imagination. Too bad we no longer have reporters interested in truth or America.

We in Massachusetts have been fighting a wind farm in magnificent Nantucket Sound for 10 years. Environmentalist should be up in arms about the devastating damage which will be done to the ocean floor and sea life. Then this horrible man issues an order without bothering to educate himself. What else is new. I despise him. He is despicable.

Not sure how the wind farms would ever get built - the tax subsidy ends this year and that only leaves state-by-state mandates to force the construction of those Rube-Goldberg contraptions.
FTA: ´´we are moving forward at the same time with efforts to ensure that America continues to lead the world at developing the energy of the future´´ Note that we abandoned large-scale use of wind mills (aka ´the energy of the future´) several hundred years ago - during the period of time we now call the ´Industrial Revolution´. Just goes to show that greens are in actuality ´Luddites´ at heart.

An absolute waste of time and money. Some of the very first "wind farms" are now abandoned (Hawaii and Great Britain) since they proved worthless when it came to producing the energy needed.
Its time for Obama to study the real facts and get away from this wind energy fiasco.

Birds in the Central US flyway are being killed also .......... at the same time that we are paying to try and revive the Hooping Crane population with other ´parent´ crane populations.
Leftist bird loving conservationists refuse to face the dangers to these Windmills ............ let alone the exorbitant costs of this failed but PC technology.

The head of the National Rifle Association mocked President Obama´s Rose Garden "tantrum" after losing the gun control fight in the Senate, charging Thursday that Obama suffered the worst defeat of his presidency because "he bit off more than he could chew." David Keene told Secrets that the president and his team misplayed their hand because they don´t have a sense of the public´s attitude toward gun control. "They just can´t gauge the public reaction to what they do because they don´t have any sense that the public has feelings different than they do," said Keene.

News organizations generally have obituaries planned well in advance for public figures like Soros, and so the obit currently notes that Soros “dies at XX” and he “died XXX at age XXX.” Soros’ long career in philanthropy and politics is deftly summed up by the obituary, though the fact that Soros isn’t dead yet puts a damper on the whole thing just a bit.

‘You know, I actually believe my own bull****.” That’s what President Obama once told a reporter. If the man ever uttered a statement that spoke more to his approach to politics, I haven’t heard it. Whether it stems from a grandiose overconfidence in his own powers of persuasion, or the lessons he took from his years as a community organizer, or his own messianic conviction that he is on the right side of everything, including history itself, the president has always operated under the theory that he can move the American people to his causes. And he can’t.

She was waiting near the finish line with her best friend Krystle Campbell to cheer on Karen´s boyfriend when the first explosion hit. Krystle was killed in the blast. Karen will survive.

Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns. BuzzFeed reports: Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill. On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.

Elizabeth Esty, who represents Newtown, Conn. "I´m outraged that 46 senators prevented a compromise to reduce gun violence, which 92 percent of the American people support." Esty was referring to the 54-46 vote on a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks on gun purchases. While a majority supported that language, 60 votes were needed to attach it to the gun control bill. "Forty-six senators ignored the voices of the courageous Newtown families, who have paid

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with 5 Democrats voting against it. Only 4 Republicans supported it. Democratic Sens.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.
