If Obama blew up the Middle East oil fields, you would say how fantastic a choice it was and a real sign of leadership.

He is attempting to bribe voters. Open the oil reserves, fire up the offshore drilling, free money in the form of "rebates", and a chicken in very pot.

NOT a great speech, just more selling out and flip flopping, as he was against using the strategic reserve to bring prices down before he was for it--just like the offshore drilling.

His "call" for energy efficiency is a joke, as he presents no plan for how to go about increasing efficiency in any meaningful way. The idea of giving a tax credit to people who buy a hybrid? Please. The people who can AFFORD to buy a hybrid don't need the rebate, the people who CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR AT ALL need a rebate.

And as for "5 million new jobs"? Really?

Where the hell is going to pull those jobs out of? His derriere? And who gets to define the "clean energy" that gets the $150 billion investments to spur this bogus "job growth" hmmmmm?

This is Obama slamming the door on the environmental movement, and he will get the response from that movement come election day.

See y'all in November.

Or not.
