Faced with energy shortages caused by Middle Eastern despots, Jimmy Carter set out to develop American energy reserves, to protect the country and keep fuel prices down. I remember well, because I worked for him on oil shale development in western Colorado.
Barack Hussein Obama is doing something entirely different. He is actively working to cut off North American energy reserves – coal and Canadian/Alaskan oil. He says he wants to make energy prices “skyrocket.” Then he flies off to Saudi Arabia, a country which desperately wants to see oil prices go back up.
You would have to be dumber than a turnip to not see what is going on here.

Popular and widely read Egyptian newspaper Al Wafd published the above picture today portraying U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama as Satan himself. The unflattering picture has been making the rounds on Facebook in the Middle East and, according to Al Wafd, is representative of the hatred growing numbers of people in the region have for the American president, thanks to his staunch and unwavering support for Islamists and jihadiis — whether in Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, or Syria — even as they terrorize, murder, rape, and burn down Christian churches, that is, even as they engage in diabolical activities.

Jimmy Carter may have been an idiot, but at least he was a loyal American.
The more I see Obummer in action the more I think he is not an American.
Jesuit motto:
“Give me a child until he is seven years old, and he is mine for life.” based on a quotation by Francis Xavier.
I can’t think of Obama and his signature accomplishment, which is the “Arab Spring” without thinking of this person and how much Obama and his foreign policy means to her and to her fellow Egyptians.

Most liberals are dumber than a turnip. The rest are just evil.
Sure glad he didn’t take it upon himself to screw around in North Korea, then.
Nah, it’s all good, but comparing Obama & Carter is like comparing HIV & syphilis.
Good analogy
Syphilis (Carter) could be cured with a shot of penicillin (Reagan)
Get HIV and you are stuffed.
Jimmy Carter was an intelligent man who is very misinformed on many critical issues and too stubborn to ever change his mind. Much of what he did was all wrong for the “right” reasons. Still is; Jimmy Carter travels the world screwing up one day at a time. But Obama is a different thing all together. What he does is calculated and intentional. He may well be the real Manchurian candidate. Or he may be a lone wolf “America hater”. I suspect he was placed into every position he has held by unseen hands and his rise to power is not chance or the result of democracy. To this day we know almost nothing about him. Fellow students that took the same classes as he (supposedly) did never saw him and never heard of him. Even professors who would have taught the classes he would have had to take never new of him. Obama is a post turtle and until we find out who put him where he is we do not know how much trouble he has caused us.
Big O and his handlers are simply shocked that the resilience of the American people have thrown a curve-ball time after time in their quest of the “Fundamental Transformation”.
Since they are not of the capitalist (real) world, they can not grasp why hard working Americans do what they do to survive!
They will continue with scheme after scheme to bring about chaos, hate and discontent, but they just can’t understand why it’s not working…
Most are followers who want someone else to do their thinking for them. That is why we call them Sheeple.
From the book Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness and Destroyed America by Kent Clizbe
The goal was to destroy the core moral fabric of American society. ….Covert operatives realized that America’s greatest strengths were its proud exceptionalism and belief that freedom and liberty were part of all men’s divine destiny.
And what do we find in one of Obummers NEW US Military Training Manuals?
From the 133 page FOIA document obtained from the Department of Defense entiled: AFSS 0910 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND TREATMENT INCIDENTS (EOTI) LESSON PLAN
Sure sounds like the darn Manual was written by a KGB Operative and not by the US military doesn’t it?
The whole document was obtained by Judicial Watch.

We have a lot of turnips in the USA and the numbers are growing.
The growing number of turnips was by design.
Never liked Carter’s politics but also never questioned his integrity.
Hated Clinton because I knew he had no integrity.
Obama is what you get if you elect a college professor. Honesty and integrity are idle concepts.

Obama had a job once. For a CIA front company right out of college.
Inconsistently, Carter kept in force price limits on domestic oil production which held production down, and forced the nation to import more oil. Since the imported oil cost more, it’s likely that the restrictions didn’t reduce prices at the pump even in the short run.
Most presidents and most of their advisers have really bad ideas on economics. That is when the ideas aren’t serving those who put them in office, then they are even worse.
About 95% of the regulations in the USA are useless. They are only passed to give a certain corporation an advantage. (Example)
If the federal government truly wanted to see the US economy do well they would remove 95% of the regulations/laws governing business.
Federal Regulations Have Made You 75 Percent Poorer: U.S. GDP is just $16 trillion instead of $54 trillion
This was not just happenstance. Remember Obummer’s Science Czar was advocating de-developing the USA back in the early 1970s Did Obama science advisor Dr. John Holdren actually call for the American government to “de-develop” the U.S. and “reduce” its population? — Yes, he did.
Of interest is this article from the Donella Meadows Institute: The Club of Rome and sustainable development
The first report of the Club of Rome was the famous The limits to growth, brought out in 1972 by an MIT research team coordinated by Dennis and Donella Meadows. ….
The decision to trash the US economy was made by an international group and not by Americans.
It is worth it to read their website.
I don’t disagree with the overall point, but I don’t agree with this statement:
“Saudi Arabia, a country which desperately wants to see oil prices go back up.”
Arguably the Saudi’s are largely responsible for the decline in prices in order to cut off US production as Saudi production costs are well below those in the US. If the Saudi’s wanted prices back up, they could cut their production. IMO they’re currently willing to accept less of a profit (but still a significant profit) to cut off or at least damage & weaken competition from the US and other nations.
Temporarily. It is a strategy to get prices back up long term.
Exactly. A “monopoly” will lower its price to below cost to drive out competition, and thus be able to make it up in the long run by charging any price they want. That is the Saudi Idea. But I think they over played their hand as OPEC is nowhere near a monopoly any longer.
Possibly & I’m not trying to debate global oil production vs. pricing strategy. I think that the Saudi’s have come to realize that with a high enough price, the US can produce oil … and lots of it. But they also know that they can produce it a lot cheaper than the US can. However since their state budgets are based upon oil revenue, their “break even point” is debatable between true cost of bringing oil to the market (purely oil production costs only) & what they need those oil revenues to be in order to pay for all their planned state budgets – which is not the same thing as raw production costs.
If your point is that they want the price back up because their state budgets are heavily dependent upon oil revenue (which they are http://www.cnbc.com/id/102151869#.), then you may have a point and I would agree with that premise. Most “news” stories of the break even point for state run oil is not their actual production costs (like it would be for private corporation like Exxon Mobile for example) but the cost to fund their state budgets based upon how much of a percentage that oil revenue supports the total state budget (aka their reliance on oil http://www.cnbc.com/id/102151869)
So the question really becomes a question of what are the Saudi priorities?
I simply think that the Saudi’s have come to realize that there is a price floor for oil production in the US below which we are less likely to produce, which they are now using as a ceiling to fight foreign (to them) production. They may have to re-prioritize their budgets and simply deal with the fact that they won’t have unlimited access to revenue now that the US has proven that there is a point at which we can truly be a competitive global producer – which they don’t want more competition.
Bottom line, I don’t think the Saudi’s are desperate to get oil prices back up in the short term & they know the US can be a serious competitor long term with higher prices. So IMO they are changing the way they are playing the game. But that is the struggle for them. With huge US reserves available at a high price, they can’t really play the long game because we’ll simply wait for prices to rise for US production to increase again. But at the same time, they can’t afford their current budgets with prices this low.
