President Barack Obama on Wednesday called Alaska's proposed natural gas pipeline "promising" as a national energy resource and pledged to discuss it with Canadian leaders during his Feb. 19 trip to Ottawa.
"It's a project of great potential and something I'm very interested in," Obama said Wednesday during an interview in the White House with the Anchorage Daily News and 15 other regional newspapers.
"As I mentioned during the campaign, I actually think that for us to move forward on the natural gas pipeline as part of a comprehensive energy strategy -- that includes both more production as well as greater efficiency -- makes a lot of sense," Obama said.
Well right here is the obstacle that Obama is going to face with the Palin proposed pipeline deal, he wants a deal that "makes a lot of sense"! Nothing, and I mean nothing, that Sarah Palin ever does "makes a lot of sense"! That is like expecting the Pope to stop wearing long dresses and that pointy hat. Ain't going to happen!
And pray tell how did Obama even get caught up in this debacle?
Gov. Sarah Palin wrote to Obama last week asking him to discuss the pipeline with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he visits Canada next week during his first foreign trip as president.
Alaskans have "appreciated your strong support for the construction of such a pipeline," Palin wrote, adding that the pipeline should be "a significant component of North American energy policy in the years to come." Palin was unaware Wednesday that her letter had been read, saying she had sent it only "just the other day."
Now see what she is doing here? She knows she is rapidly losing support up here in Alaska so she is trying to get President Obama's name connected with her plan to give it more credibility.
Genius. Clearly somebody must have suggested it to her. (Her conjoined twin Meg Stapleton perhaps?)
President Obama I urge you to stay as far away from Sarah Palin, and her whack-a-doodle ideas as humanly possible. She is the political equivalent of Typhoid Mary. If you get close enough she will infect you as well and you may someday suffer the same fate as the once beloved John McCain.
And whatever you do DON'T LET YOURSELF BE PHOTOGRAPHED WITH HER! I am convinced that all her crazy African witch hunter Reverend Muthee needs is just one picture of the two of you together to do some freaky Voodoo body switching magic, and the next thing you know we will have "Freaky Friday 2: Now we acknowledge black people!".
If you see her coming toward you at any future political functions RUN! And don't stop until you hear the heel break off of her shoe and are convinced she cannot catch up with you!
Listen Mr. President you may think I am overreacting a little but you don't know this woman! And if you don't believe me just ask Walt Monegan, John McCain, or Talis Colberg.
Wait! What do I hear in the distance? Is that the sound of a bus revving its engines? Oh my God, bits and pieces of Talis Colberg's career are still hanging from its bumper!
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Here I am, a right wing conservative, at least economically, agreeing with a left wing blog. This is a beautiful take on Sarah Palin. I just wish she had been a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Obama is just doing his normal "being nice" and saying all the right things - so as to not upset Palin's supporters too much.
ReplyDeleteI am confident he has enough common sense to stay far far far away from her.
But just in case - bloggers like us need to be sure to get the warning out to him.
This is a great post! Can you email this to the White House and to Obama's energy advisors?
ReplyDeletePlease, Please, Please? It would have an impact coming from an Alaskan.
Thank you,

Genius Gryphen. You hit the nail right on the head.

Funny situation -- Gov. Sarah pitching for a little "socialism" from the Feds and Pres. Obama, so that she can say it's HIS spending -- and she stays perfectly "fiscal conservative" to her fawning sycophants...er, constituents.

Spot on Gryphen....This post needs to find it's way to HufPo or Kos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful read. I can't quit grinning.

....And, another thing to urge President Obama to do: Read the book, "The Sociopath Next Door."
ReplyDeleteWith your post and the book, he'll be safe...I hope.
Great, great post.

Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteDoes the President HAVE to run when he sees her coming?
Can't alert Secret Service Agents just wrestle her to the ground?
