| During the Friday event at which President Obama announced $2 billion in new green energy subsidies, he erroneously credited his administration´s "all of the above" energy policy for the nation´s increased oil and gas production. "We produce more oil than we have in 15 years," he said. "We import less oil than we have in 20 years. We´re producing more natural gas than we ever have before -- with hundreds of thousands of good jobs to show for it." The numbers and facts that Obama cited were all correct. But his claim is still false,

There´s very little good that has happened in the past 50 years that the government can claim credit for. And quite a lot of the bad stuff that is going on is the fault of the government.
That anyone would think that we need more expanded government is a exercise in stupidity and immorality.

Does any of this green stuff work? I mean does it work for a suitable expense from everyone who buys it? If not, forget it. Gas engines that get 60-70 mpg can and have been made. And I still don´t understand why we can´t use steam engines in cars. They used to power big boats.

I have experience with solar power on a vacation home. By necessity - no power lines.
Solar ***will*** work, but it ain´t an easy process. You don´t just set up a panel or two, and plug in. Lots of babysitting the system is required. And you need a backup generator.
As for the subject of the article, I absolutely detest this liar. But hey - lying liars lie. They don´t seem to know how NOT to. And as long as ´´the press´´ never questions the lies or the liar, the lies just get repeated as facts. And the idiot slugs cheer.

I´ll give him credit for his EPA trying everything to hinder shale fracking in South Texas. But, in SPITE of obama, fracking is going forth. First in W. Texas was the lizard which they tried to hinder oil production, now they working on the prairie chicken as an excuse. Either of these two creatures has always relocated on their own. As Joe Wilson and Sarah Palin both stated, "YOU LIE".

The true measure of whether you or helping or hurting production can be found in your permitting record. When BP started gushing into the Gulf, Obama canceled drilling permits. Then he imposed 2 moratoriums and a permitorium. And Shell in the Chutgi Sea has been trying to get a permit approved for 3 years. In TX, where oil production has doubled in 4 years, the average permit approval time is 5 working days.

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

Corkins took a gun from his backpack and fired three shots at building manager Leo Johnson, one of them wounding the unarmed Johnson in the arm before he wrested the gun from Corkins.

On weekends, he left town for his job as an instructor at a flight school, residing in Grapevine with his second wife, Leslie Gardea, who traveled during the week. To keep the women from finding out about each other, he created fake divorce documents on the Internet and filed his first wife´s taxes, marking her as single without her knowledge.

In a letter to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake, the four Judiciary Committee members express concern that an immigration reform bill will be rushed through Congress without proper oversight in the form of hearings and robust debate.

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general.

Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
