Sarah Palin keeps hitting...
Sarah Palin pummeled Team Obama over the news yesterday that the government will fund Brazilian offshore oil development and research but deny US companies access to oil deposits off our own shores.
From her Facebook page, via Free Republic:
YOUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK: FIRST CARS, NOW FOREIGN OIL.
Today's Wall Street Journal contains some puzzling news for all Americans who are impacted by high energy prices and who share the goal of moving us toward energy independence.
For years, states rich with an abundance of oil and natural gas have been begging Washington, DC politicians for the right to develop their own natural resources on federal lands and off shore. Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits) and the resulting royalties and taxes would provide money for federal coffers that would potentially off-set the need for higher income taxes, reduce the federal debt and deficits, or even help fund a trillion dollar health care plan if one were so inclined to support such a plan.
So why is it that during these tough times, when we have great needs at home, the Obama White House is prepared to send more than two billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, can drill off shore and create jobs developing its own resources?
That's all Americans want; but such rational energy development has been continually thwarted by rabid environmentalists, faceless bureaucrats and a seemingly endless parade of lawsuits aimed at shutting down new energy projects.
I'll speak for the talent I have personally witnessed on the oil fields in Alaska when I say no other country in the world has a stronger workforce than America, no other country in the world has better safety standards than America, and no other country in the world has stricter environmental standards than America.
Come to Alaska to witness how oil and gas can be developed simultaneously with the preservation of our eco-system. America has the resources. We deserve the opportunity to develop our resources no less than the Brazilians. Millions of Americans know it is true: "Drill, baby, drill." Alaska is proof you can drill and develop, and preserve nature, with its magnificent caribou herds passing by the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), completely unaffected. One has to wonder if Obama is playing politics and perhaps refusing a "win" for some states just to play to the left with our money.
The new Gulf of Mexico lease sales tomorrow sound promising and perhaps will move some states in the right direction, but we all know that the extreme environmentalists who serve to block progress elsewhere, including in Alaska, continue to block opportunities.
These environmentalists are putting our nation in peril and forcing us to rely on unstable and hostile foreign countries. Mr. Obama can stop the extreme tactics and exert proper government authority to encourage resource development and create jobs and health benefits in the U.S.; instead, he chooses to use American dollars in Brazil that will help to pay the salaries and benefits for Brazilians to drill for resources when the need and desire is great in America.
Buy American is a wonderful slogan, but you can't say in one breath that you want to strengthen our economy and stimulate it, and then in another ship our much-needed dollars to a nation desperate to drill while depriving us of the same opportunity.
- Sarah Palin FYI: Barack Obama's top supporter George Soros is heavily invested in Brazilian oil- Petrobras. Soros made a major purchase last week before the news broke that the US would invest in the Brazilian oil company.
Nahanni says- "Follow the (Soros) money."
All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.
The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight. A war we don't need to fight because we have our own resources.
Haha. Another home run. This girl is murder. :)
Sarah, keep it pithy
Soros buys stock in Brazil drilling- Obama sends $2 Billion US taxpayer dollars to subsidize it
Sarah Tweets, Barry Retreats!

OIL (not a joke)
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report ( hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana ..... Check THIS out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels.. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. 'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst. 'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore20oil field found in the past 56 years.' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for2041 years straight. 2. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO! U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates: - 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia - 18-times as much oil as Iraq - 21-times as much oil as Kuwait - 22-times as much oil as Iran - 500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in the Western United States . HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post. Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists? Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it ... And hopefully P.O'd, do this: 3. Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. Because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain. -------- Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.. By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!! GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911 <http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911> |
Smells like the priorities of the good old boy network are a little higher than those of the rabid environmentalists.
Energy and taking on the good old boy network. Right up Sarah’s alley.
I’d love to see what the DUmmies are saying about this today, but I’ve already taken a shower.
WOW - easy on the font size, bro!
This does not appear in Sarah's essay. It was added by Gateway.
All of this would be great news if the United States Congress (Democrats AND Republicans) wasn’t relentlessly dedicated to the Destruction Of America.
Capitol Hill is infested with sociopaths, liars, and thieves, and they are now totally out of control.
Whenever I read what this woman says and believes it makes me believe in America again as well.
Pride in your country is a GOOD thing. Liberals consider it a mortal sin...if they believed in sin in the first place.
It’s also why I fear for her life. Literally.
This must be spread out to the nation. The message is good. We need to drill, and use nuke power if we are to re-build the nation. The old ecology propaganda is no longer work.
Yeah, posted MANY TIMES.
The formation is not Texas or Saudi Arabia ‘easy’ either. (it takes more effort to get it to the surface, so cost is a factor)
Scarborough says Sarah isn’t smart because she doesn’t read enough. Scarborough should stick to getting no ratings on MSNBC.
Oh boy if a single hair on her head was harmed, all hell would break loose.
I mean it. She is the single most decent “thing” (no offense) in Politics today. We know as does more than a fair majority of Americans. The dims included. That’s why the fear her.
It was just posted again.

Sarah is a great communicator which is because God has blessed her with clear vision and the sense of fearlessness.
She inspires me to hope for America.
The medias has done a fairly effective job of calling her a whack job, a loose canon, ... and various personal slurs ... ; and the reason why is ...
No Washington insider is she.
Do not be deceived or believe the lies about her.
Thank you God, for Your Mercy. In Jesus name. Amen.
And only right wing extremists would think that smells like a political payoff by Obama to Soros, whose money financed much of Obama’s presidential campaigning through 3rd party groups.
Must be a coincidence.

Sorry, I just cut and pasted it.
Gosh, Soros sure is lucky.
No way he could have got insider infomation.
‘Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits)...’
LOL. With health benefits! She’s such a ball-breaker. Go, Sarah!!!
HAHAHA>>>
0Bama just got beat up by a girl!
(a really awesome girl, err, woman)
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The President of the U. S. goes spending
And when he spends, George Soros goes - ah
When he spends, every one likes Obama
He talks so cool and sways so gentle
The MSM gives just him passes, and more he gets passes, Soros goes,- ooh
(ooh) but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him to stop it
Yes he takes my money gladly
But each billion that goes into the Brazilian sea
Goes straight ahead to Soros, not to me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The President of the US goes spending
And when he spends, Soros smiles - but he doesnt see (doesnt see)
(he just doesnt see, he never sees me,...)
Joe Scarborough is an idiot. He’s been in bed with MSDNC for way too long, I guess all that liberal hate from that network has finally rubbed off on him. I guess the saying is true, you sleep with dogs, your gonna get fleas. Perhaps Joe should read the bill, Sarah obviously has. If only 1 person watches his show, does it make a sound
I just thought about that 2 seconds ago. WOULD NOT THAT BE CALLED INSIDER INFORMATION??? People go to jail for that. So...when do we see Soros in Jail? I am sure..soon sarc
SPREAD THE WORD!
YEAH, BABY!
Can’t drill our own but we can send our money to BRAZIL????
These people are freaking loons.
Alaskan oil is easy. Near offshore oil is relatively easy. If federal lands were open to exploration, it is likely that more easy oil would be discovered. Unfortunately, keeping Americans dependent on foreign oil appears to be the official policy.
A good statement by Sarah, but that was entirely unnecessary. We don't need even oblique references to Obamacare as a possibility.
But our nonsense energy policy is an area where she could really raise public awareness with a long string of communications pointing out the cost of energy dependence, and the lost opportunities of not using our own resources.
no problemo - it simply was quite hugh...
‘Scarborough says Sarah isn’t smart because she doesn’t read enough.’
Scarborough is just pissed because his lame book tanked.
(the introduction, realization, recognition)
Billions for foreign drilling, debts for Americans.
While I really really like Palin The Zero and dems in general are an easy target. She’s not doing anything clever here, just stating the obvious. Guess she does get points for having a backbone and using it. A lesson the GOP in general could learn from.
We cannot spare this woman. She fights|
She won't get so much as a hangnail. Don't you worry. Their worst nightmare would be for Sarah to become a martyr.
Agree with your reply. I used Texas and Saudi as these are the most recognized by consumers as the source of oil (could have used Canada, Mexico, but same applies).
Also, with Alaska (and Calif), the first instinct for most is to shut out any communication due to "environmental"/MotherEarth ideology. It's not worth the added discourse.
(kind of like the Baakan field being extremely wide, but equally narrow (shallow) in places -- how to determine where to drill to avoid those narrow access?
The Dakota's being a harsh area to drill and almost a third have shut down, as of last week (due to economy).
etc, etc. It's not always as easy as it seems.
What you say is true, however she is the one that makes the waves by doing so.
More power to her.
Not saying she’s my candidate in the big dance. But I’ll say one thing: Respeck!
Zero is rapidly revealing himself to be what freepers have assumed all along, **THE REAL ENEMY**
Ping
She can no doubt kick his hinder in basketball too!
Palin just crested 800,000 fans on FaceBook...
Dude, I think he got the font size just about right.
I’ve heard about this and wonder why it’s not being moved ahead.
