President Obama’s “Jobs Council,” formed to take the heat out of criticism that he’s not doing enough to foster job growth, has come back with an interim report that can pretty well be distilled into three words: “drill, drill, drill”:Boy, talk about not getting the memo!President Obama’s jobs council called . . . for an “all-in approach” to energy policy that includes expanded oil-and-gas drilling as well as expediting energy projects like pipelines.
“[W]e should allow more access to oil, natural gas and coal opportunities on federal lands,” states the year-end report…released Tuesday by the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Update: No surprise. The preshizzle obviously didn’t get the advice he wanted.
...the Obama administration hit back at Republicans by saying no because of their forcing him to decide on the project in just 60 days.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe the fourth best president in American history needs more than 60 days to reach a decision on anything!
How many coin tosses does he need?
I knew he would ignore the recommendations of the Jobs Council. Every single time anybody tries to tell him how to fix what he has broken, he does the exact opposite.
ReplyDeleteThe Prez needs Sir Humphrey Appleby:
ReplyDelete"It's clear that the Committee has agreed that your new policy is really an excellent plan. But in view of some of the doubts being expressed, may I propose that I recall that after careful consideration, the considered view of the Committee was that, while they considered that the proposal met with broad approval in principle, that some of the principles were sufficiently fundamental in principle, and some of the considerations so complex and finely balanced in practice that in principle it was proposed that the sensible and prudent practice would be to submit the proposal for more detailed consideration, laying stress on the essential continuity of the new proposal with existing principles, the principle of the principal arguments which the proposal proposes and propounds for their approval. In principle."
Ha! Indeed! Just followed the link, that must have been a great series.

This is another classic from same:
ReplyDelete"To put it simply, Prime Minister, certain informal discussions took place, involving a full and frank exchange of views, out of which there arose a series of proposals which on examination proved to indicate certain promising lines of enquiry which when pursued led to the realization that the alternative courses of action might in fact, in certain circumstances, be susceptible of discreet modification, leading to a reappraisal of the original areas of difference and pointing the way to encouraging possibilities of compromise and cooperation which if bilaterally implemented with appropriate give and take on both sides might if the climate were right have a reasonable possibility at the end of the day of leading, rightly or wrongly, to a mutually satisfactory resolution."
O/T but on Andrew Bolt's blog is a wonderful video of Gingrich tearing CNN host John King to tiny pieces, an interesting watch Paco.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Merilyn. That's refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who will be the Repub candidate, but if they do not attack this "man" on this issue, they are losers.
