In his news conference last Friday, President Obama said something that struck many observers as interesting. He told reporters, “Last year, American oil production reached its highest level since 2003. Let me repeat that. Our oil production reached its highest level in seven years. Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached […]

No matter the disaster we know we can count on President Obama to be AWOL on leadership. As the images of a meltdown pour in from Cairo and all over Egypt, Obama plays the Nero card and fiddles around, hoping someone else will do something. We saw this inability to lead during the financial meltdown […]

RICHMOND – The Obama Administration today suspended exploration for oil and natural gas off the coast of Virginia for at least the next seven years. Likewise, the Administration blocked similar development in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the entire Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. Americans for Prosperity’s Virginia Director Ben Marchi […]

Recently, President Obama’s political strategy on policies that are problematic or controversial has been to double down instead of reevaluating or changing course. When polls showed the overwhelming majority of Americans disapproved of the massive health care bill during the winter and Massachusetts voters sent an unmistakable message by electing Sen. Scott Brown, who campaigned […]

Well, this is simply embarrassing. Barack Obama is leading us into a financial war with our closest ally – Britain.

Barack Obama has been in office 504 days and oil has been spewing into the Gulf with no end in sight. Now a second oil platform has begun to leak. This is what we call Trickle Down Incompetence. The lackadaisical and cavalier attitude Obama has taken with this spill is astonishing. His administration has failed […]

The cynicism of Democrats and the Obama administration grows ever more audacious with each new proposal they take advantage of a crisis to push. It’s well known that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel subscribes to a philosophy of what he once described as, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” […]

It is an amazing thing to listen to some of the left wing media and politicians finally seem to realize that President Obama has screwed up. For the past 18 months, the man could do no wrong. Despite an economy that has not yet reached bottom, they pretend we are in recovery. They gleefully talk […]

On April 20, 2010 a massive explosion destroyed an oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 people. The drill site has been belching oil ever since. President Obama has been promising for weeks to get to the bottom of this, but has cast the blame totally on BP Oil, who leased […]

While President Obama was laughing it up at state dinners, oil belched from a pipe in the Gulf of Mexico. For 10 days, the Obama Administration downplayed the seriousness of the threat. Drilling for oil from offshore platforms is not free from risk. Safeguards are in place to prevent spills, or at least limit the […]
