CUSHING, Okla. -- The President is scheduled to speak in Payne County this Thursday morning. It may be rural Oklahoma, but when it comes to pipelines, it's the Capitol. The President is expected to talk about energy, though many in that industry are not impressed.

They are even planning to protest his visit, calling it a political ploy more than a genuine interest.

Mike Cantrell with the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance says, "For the last three years he's been anti-fossil fuels."

Mickey Thompson, an energy industry expert and political analyst, says, "He calls our industry an industry of the past and they'd like us to go away."

Not to worry, his SEIU crowd will show up, along with the New Black Panthers and beat up the protesters so he can declare martial law.

On the other hand, re-election photo-ops are ok.

Imagine if every private car and commercial vehicle broke down in the middle of every intersection into town at the same time ?

Not to worry, no doubt they will be deemed a 'National Special Security Event' The SS will arrest them and they will become felons with the accompanying much deserved 10 year federal penitentiary sentence.

"Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011."

H.R. 347 (and it's companion senate bill S. 1794)

The House vote tally which took place 02/28/12, was 338 for and 3 against.

The go-pees have spoken.

Fearless Reader, The Won, Hussein Obama The Magnificent must not be blasphemed.

Are these protests now illegal under the “can’t disrupt or affect anything protected by the Secret Service” law?

When I lived in Oklahoma my sales territory included Cushing, Drumright, Yale and Oilton.

I met only two Democrats in the area. Every one else was an ardent Republican.

Barry ain’t going into friendly country. They have fish fry’s, Catfishing days and turkey shoots for Republican candidates to raise money.

I’d be surprised if Barry didn’t have protesters when he arrives.

I wonder though, will he land in Stillwater or Tulsa and take Marine One? Long drive otherwise.

I was told that they were polishing the presidential H-3 at Tinker AFB yesterday.

It's about the same distance from Tusla or Tinker in OKC.

There is already high security in the air space over Tinker, but then the gov hardly ever does anything with common sense.

Obama is protested EVERYWHERE he goes, you just don’t hear about it on the buttkissing local media or on the national media.

When Bush was President, every protest got coverage, and every PENNY of gas price increases was on the front page and the top of every newscast.

Obama? He waves his little finger and the internet is scrubbed of a story he doesn’t want reported.

I wish the entire state of Oklahoma would show up and protest. The nerve of him trying to convince people that his (anti) energy policy is good for the US.

Obama: “’Kew-shing Okla-hoe-ma’. OK, got it. And that’s in one of the United States?”
Advisor: “Yes, sir. It’s in that middle part.”
Obama: “Right, got it. And there are oil companies there destroying the environment and oppressing the poor and I’m going to get in their face.”
Advisor: “Not exactly sir... “
