Barack Obama’s supporters praised him for having it in his joint-session speech last night on job creation. A national economy needs plenty of it in order to expand. Consumers consider it one of the most pressing economic issues they face. Yet Obama’s speech was curiously absent of any mention of one word … energy.
That’s right; you could look it up. There wasn’t one single mention in a speech about jobs and economic stimulation that addressed the need for the energy necessary to support it. Never mind that part of the problem in the economy comes from a blunted demand that can be directly associated in part with the erosion in buying power created by rapidly-rising fuel costs, or that a significant share of the reluctance to invest in American economic expansion comes from the considerable uncertainty of regulatory assaults on energy production and the impact on future energy costs.
Obama simply acted as if the problem doesn’t exist at all.
If there was one change from his first stimulus proposal, it’s the omission of energy as a closely-linked issue. In 2009, Obama tried to argue that his assault on domestic production and use of coal and oil would be offset by an explosion of green-energy production that would replace our need for hydrocarbons. He threw billions of dollars into subsidies for companies to pursue solar, wind, and biomass energy, technologies that have been around for decades and have never proven sustainable on a cost or on a mass-production level, promising that this time it would work.

"rigid idea"= Constitution.
I guess that since I didn’t listen/watch BO last night I’m not qualified to answer.
Pretty sure the answer ISN’T “””I or ME”””
One of the on line columns (blog??) I subscribe to suggested Boehner ask BO for the ‘solution’, in writing, pass it as is, and let the Dems fight over it.
According to the writer, it is a win situation for the R’s.
If it fails, it is BO’s fault, it is exactly what he wanted.
Also, if the R’s change one comma, they will be blamed for the impending SHTF.
If it succeeds, “Our partisanship” made it possible.
But, in reality, it probably has absolutely no chance of getting through the Senate, which would also bide well for the R’s.....

The truth is that the economy could be boosted with virtually no outlay of government money, an example being expanding domestic sources and production of petroleum, thereby reducing cost of gas and diesel at the pump, providing a tremendous shot in the arm for business and the public. But not deserving of a mention by the anointed one. And that’s just one example. Of course critics would say the results of this would not be felt fast enough. That’s because this action should have been taken long ago, but better late than never.
He's a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land, making up all his nowhere plans for nobody. Doesn't have a point of view, knows not where he's going to.
This should be the Obama 2012 campaign theme song.
If Obama simply acted as if the problem didn’t exist at all, it is because he really sees no problem there! He has engineered the country to exactly where he wants it just as any Communist would do: target the middle class! If people don’t see that, then we really are doomed!
“Resign”
I don’t think he said the word “inherited”.
Took the words right out of my mouth...
“corpse” men
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!
