This is too funny.

"President Obama’s jobs council called Tuesday for an “all-in approach” to energy policy that includes expanded oil-and-gas drilling as well as expediting energy projects like pipelines.

“[W]e should allow more access to oil, natural gas and coal opportunities on federal lands,” states the year-end report released Tuesday by the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness."

Yep, that one is very funny. The funniest part of the link was the way Jay (The Liar) tried to deal with it all. He twists and turns with the best of them and I could just hear him talking those words, not specifically.

I wonder if these people will still have their jobs in 6 months from now. The Tree Huggers will get right in the middle of Obama over this one.

Just like he did with his own debt commission, he will ignore this as well.

I love how he puts these committees in place and then ignores what their recommendations are.
You got to wonder why ? And he keeps doing it over and over.

No should be the answer he receives when asking for his $1.2 Trillion. No should be the answer the next time he or Michelle want to fire up Airforce One/Two for a campaign-vacation. No should be the answer the next time he is due a check for his pay as POTUS. No should be the answer in response to his "recess" appointments and the appointment of his latest radical fmr. La Raza activist as head of Domestic Policy.

Obama 2012? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO NO!

Obama has never convened a committee he intended to follow.
-The super committee was a rouge and destined to fail.
-Bowles and Simpson have charged that Obama has ignored the commission's recommendations. The economy and debt crisis completely ignorable.
-Shovel ready jobs "MUAHAHAHA" Obama laughs as he strokes his fiddle.

Did you know the jobs being lost (by this insane position) aren't just the 20k directly, but it's estimated that as many as 100k ancillary jobs will be lost as well? That makes this decision more than ignorant, it should be criminal.

Ah well, China needs to stockpile our oil pre-invasion anyway.

This one really confuses me. We're the biggest importer of oil, yet our top export in dollars was fuel this year and predicted to be for next year. Anyone else scratching their heads?
