Obama the Yellow (and Green)

Right now an American ship captain is being held by muslim Somali pirates. Our destroyer the USS Bainbridge is nearby with guns aimed at the boat. This brave captain jumped overboard to try to swim to the destroyer. So wouldn't the perfect thing to do be to shoot the pirates or destroy the ship since the captain is off the boat? But instead, we just sat there. Who ordered the ship not to fire? I don't know.

Instead, we are negotiating with these thugs. Whose idea was this? I have an idea. But since I don't know the entire story, I am hesitant to place blame. But I am very scared for our safety for at least the next 4 years and probably beyond.

But something I can place blame on him for is his completely hypocritical attitude towards saving our planet. He wants to tell us what kind of cars to drive and where to keep our thermostats (and yes he actually did tell voters where to keep their thermostats and what kind of cars to drive), while he keeps his office hot enough to grow orchids in the winter and flies out to Denver in his fuel burning jet to sign legislation that could have been signed in D.C. And he flew there for the SOLE purpose of showing how green he was.

Now he's ordering pizza ingredients be shipped from St. Louis to D.C., along with a chef to prepare them. A 1600 mile round trip. The restaurant he is requesting them from is Pi, and its website brags about how committed it is to "environmentally benign success".

If he wants pizza and a chef to travel 1600 miles to feed him, that's his prerogative. But QUIT telling me how I should conserve resources while doing whatever the heck you want to. Click here to read more.
