"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Happy Birthday Mr. Abraham Lincoln.
February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865

Today, 12 February 2010, it seems that Mr. Lincoln was prophetic. We are being destroyed from within and it is by the warring political tribes in Wash. D.C. and our State's capitols. Why, oh why, must the petty ambitions, egos and greed of the elected officials twist and warp the Constitutional ideals of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for the many. There is a Federal Law barring public officials from depriving the taxpayers of their "right to honest services". Why aren't we, the American People, making the politicians obey that law?

 

STATE OF THE UNION
January 27, 2010

President Obama’s speech Wednesday night was one hour and nine minutes long. In his 69 minute speech he spoke about energy, for maybe, three minutes: Below are selected comments about energy and, from an objective point of view, subjects that may relate to the energy demands of our Country. What he said certainly makes sense but he, unfortunately, left out the obvious solution.

Note: three days later, in a newspaper article by Stephen Ohlemacher and Charles Babington of the Associated Press, the headline read, "Obama, GOP square off" and subtitle, "Barbs, ideas traded in rare direct exchange".

So, the moral of the story is that the politicians will never, ever, agree on anything that will be of benefit to the American People. The only way we can achieve Energy Independence is for the US in the USA to do it ourselves. Please see: The Choice for the solution.

From the official transcript of President Obama's speech:

"We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before." (AN EXAMPLE OF "GOOD" PLANNING BY THE POLITICIANS)

"Now is the time to act boldly and wisely – to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity. Now is the time to jumpstart job creation, re-start lending, and invest in areas like energy. "

"That is why, even as it cuts back on the programs we don’t need, the budget I submit will invest in the three areas that are absolutely critical to our economic future: energy, health care, and education."

"It begins with energy." (YES, IT DOES. SO, LET'S GET SERIOUS)

"We know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century." (AND THE COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T WILL BE EXTINCT, OR SERFS TO THOSE WHO DO)

"We will double this nation’s supply of renewable energy in the next three years." (HOW? TALK IS CHEAP. WANT TO SEE HOW TO DO IT? KEEP READING)

"But to truly transform our economy, protect our security, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change, we need to ultimately make clean, renewable energy … to support that innovation, we will invest fifteen billion dollars a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels," (BIOFUELS FROM WHAT SOURCES?) "clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks" (CARS AND TRUCKS BURNING GASOLINE, LIKE NOW? OR, BY USING HOME GROWN BIODIESEL IN DIESEL ENGINE VEHICLES?) "built right here in America."

"Every American who is sitting here tonight loves this country and wants it to succeed."

"We are not quitters."

"That is the foundation on which the American people expect us" (THE ELECTED OFFICIALS) "to build common ground. Well that day of reckoning has arrived, and the time to take charge of our future is here. The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields" (AMERICAN FARMER'S FIELDS, WHERE WE CAN GROW OUR OWN FUEL) "and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth."

"What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more." (WAKE UP YOU ELECTED OFFICIALS!)

"History reminds us that at every moment of economic upheaval and transformation, this nation" (THE AMERICAN PEOPLE - NOT THE SELF SERVING ELECTED OFFICIALS) "has responded with bold action and big ideas. It is time for America to lead again. And if we do – if we" (THE AMERICAN PEOPLE) "come together and lift this nation from the depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words that are carved into this very chamber, "something worthy to be remembered.""

"Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

THIS EFFORT IS WHAT THE USA ENERGY INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT, AND THE AMERICANS BEHIND IT, ARE WORKING TOWARDS. WHILE THE POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO JABBER AND ARGUE, WE MUST DO THIS, BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY WON'T.

UPDATE: 31 JANUARY 2010, THE POLITICIANS ARE SINKING IN THEIR OWN QUAGMIRE AND WANT TO TAKE US DOWN WITH THEM - click for: Obama pushes nuclear energy to boost climate bill
Yeah, good idea! click for: Let's trash Planet Earth with more radioactive waste

What's wrong with that picture? Why not, instead, use some common sense and do this:
