I suspect you’re correct.

America, you elected a doofus!

It's no use; those who elected the muslim liar, stupid, dishonest, deceitful self-centered pig are too busy kissing His posterior to ever notice they just ran out of gas.

Headlines and first sentences do not tell the story. He does a fabulous job of calling it absolutely rediculous without ever saying it.

"We're dependent on oil from unfriendlies.

So cancel that pipeline from Canada that would send enough hundreds of thousands of barrels a a day from an ally.

Absolutely he was being sarcastic.

That’s why he ‘apologized’ for bringing the level of the conversation so low.

Krauthammer is D.C.-centric in a lot of ways but he was sneering at the commie-in-chief on this one.

"Why would you build a pipeline, the Keystone pipeline with real oil from Canada to put in real refineries and put in real existing cars when you can do algae? I think he is on to something. And I think this shows the vision, the hope and change he promised in 2008."

"Tongue out of cheek," host Bret Baier joked.

"I'm sorry that I brought the level of discussion so low," Krauthammer joked back.

Yes, it was sarcasm.
I'll be back later to see how many morons respond to the title (and maybe the first couple of paragraphs) and take Krauthammer to task.

FRegards,

An extra $14 million grant. Big Whoop.
That’s like what it costs to bring 14 land wells on line. Except the money will go to support his ACORN retread administrators and a couple of phoney companies set up by Chicago buds.
Guy is a delusional loon.

This sort of comment is why Krauthammer has no credibility, at least with me.

Krauthammer apparently does not do well with viewers who have a very limited attention span and capacity for understanding. Of course, I could reasonably guess that you never saw the clip, but seize any opportunity to criticize a conservative who does not agree with you 100%.

A couple of developments today re shipping Canadian oil to China.

Kinder-Morgan wants to double the capacity of its existing pipeline to Vancouver. According to reports, China is already buying tar sands oil being shipped through this pipeline.

Transport Canada approved supertankers for the Kitimat terminal of the Gateway pipeline.

Actually my son-in-law who invents stuff had an idea like that a couple of years ago.

I wish he’d get on with it so my daughter would have money.

Bite me.

Which dictionary are you using to look up the definition of "sarcasm"?

Many on this board seem not to recognize biting satire. It was a joke, jeeze.

""We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance, algae -- you've got a bunch of algae out here. If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we'll be doing alright."

He always sounds like a gaga-eyed untutored cornpone. "We need to invent stuff and things." "We'll be doin' alright." "...a bunch of algae out there."

Look, Ma! It's an algae!
Where, Elmer?!

Over there! By the pond, Ma!

Well, dadgum it, we'll be doin' alright, then!

WHOOOSH. That’s the sound of Krauthammer’s sarcasm flying right over your head. You weren’t alone by the looks of the thread.

There is little a narcissist can tolerate less than being scorned and laughed at. No comedian and few pundits have had the guts to do what Krauthammer did here, just shred Obama with sarcastic humor.

Sure ‘nuff, today’s big story is “The Memo” telling Obama no one’s buying either his Algae Solution or his booming economy story.
