— Did you hear the state of the union speech delivered by President Obama? My! the wonderful things that he is going to do for you. He is going to open up 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas resources, and federal lands to drilling. My question, is why did we have to wait three years for this to happen?

If we think real hard, I bet we can figure it out. Oh! I almost forgot, this is election year. He shut down the offshore drilling, after the BP spill. U.S. district Judge Martin Feldman granted a preliminary injunction halting the moratorium on deep water drilling, but interior secretary Kenneth Salazar issued a new order to stop drilling. At least 25 rigs were shut down, costing thousands of jobs. Some rigs were moved to India to drill.

We don’t care one whit about jobs or the economy except to get reelected.

The president has loaned money to Mexico and Brazil to drill in deep water, lost millions on pie in the sky projects such as Solyndra, some car dealers are refusing to take their quotas of the Chevrolet Volt. I can’t believe that there has been trillions of dollars spent with so little to show for such a great expense. We could use the oil that would come through the Keystone pipe line from Canada, there would be a great number of jobs created, but we can’t do that it might destroy some worthless mud hole.

Congressman West is absolutely 100 percent correct when he says the Democrat philosophy will destroy this country. Take a close look at what has happened to Detroit under Democrat and union control.

Let me see if I can put this in language that educated liberal city slickers can comprehend. I began working for dairy farmers when I was 13 years old. The first thing that you learn, is to not leave the milking machines on too long. If the machine is left on too long, it begins to suck blood, which will destroy the cow. The Democrats and unions have long-ago gotten all of the milk, and are sucking blood, and if it is not stopped this country will end up like the cow that had the milking machine left on too long.

The Democrat party and the liberal news media treat us like mushrooms, they keep us in the dark and feed us B.S. Thank God for Fox News and men like Colonel West.

The man in the White House is not the real tooth fairy. I’m the real one and can make you an iron clad promise, that if you pull all of your teeth tonight and put them under your pillow, you will wake up in the morning toothless. If inflation continues at the same rate, you won’t need them anyway, food will be too expensive.
