Once again, Sarah Palin fills the vacuum of leadership so prevalent in the Republican Party:
It’s unbelievable (literally) the rhetoric coming from President Obama today. This is coming from he who is manipulating the U.S. energy supply. President Obama is once again giving lip service to a “new energy proposal”; but let’s remember the last time he trotted out a “new energy proposal” – nearly a year ago to the day. The main difference is today we have $4 a gallon gas in some places in the country. This is no accident. This administration is not a passive observer to the trends that have inflated oil prices to dangerous levels. His war on domestic oil and gas exploration and production has caused us pain at the pump, endangered our already sluggish economic recovery, and threatened our national security. Through a process of what candidate Obama once called “gradual adjustment,” American consumers have seen prices at the pump rise 67 percent since he took office. Meanwhile, the vast undeveloped reserves that could help to keep prices at the pump affordable remain locked up because of President Obama’s deliberate unwillingness to drill here and drill now. We’re subsidizing offshore drilling in Brazil and purchasing energy from them, instead of drilling ourselves and keeping those dollars circulating in our own economy to generate jobs here. The President said today, “There are no quick fixes.” He’s been in office for nearly three years now, and he’s about to launch his $1 billion re-election campaign. When can we expect any “fixes” from him? How high does the price of energy have to go?
She's got plenty more. Read it all. Pass it on.

Though there are plenty of reasons to like SarahCuda, if the only thing she does right upon being elected is correct the wrong of our long national nightmare of dependence on imported oil, then she will be a great success. As it will dramatically change the very dynamics that affect the most pressing issues of our country today - national security, terrorism and the economy. Throwing in the inevitable closing of the then obsolete and absolute useless Dept. of Energy, (created in 1977 to rid us of foreign oil dependency) it encompasses government spending/deficit reduction to boot.
Drill here, drill now!
Palin ‘12!

2/3rds of America's oil and gas comes from North America. I know that because the lady in the TV ads said it. And if it's true, then we don't really have a big "foreign" oil problem. Mexico's oil is nearly gone and Canada's is mostly tar sands and the Gulf is re-opened for drilling. What more do you and Palin want?? Obama has given you just about everything you could dream of.
He's even building those tar sands pipelines.
