Real Solutions for Real Problems

President Obama said in his Non-State of the Union, State of the Union address last night "We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before."

Okay, I live in North Eastern Montana, this is a place where the deer and the antelope still play. Where the closest Wal- Mart is 90 miles away, and a full-time year-round job is hard to come-by.

What makes this place so special, we don't have the mountains you picture when you dream of Montana, we don't have ski slopes, celeberties don't move here. What do we have OIL!!!! It is estimated we sit on more oil than the entire Middle East.

So last summer when the Congress and Senators were telling you it would take 10 years to get new oil in the pipeline, well guess what dear readers, they were lying to you. If the Montana/North Dakota oil fields would be allowed to open and go into full production the new oil would be in the American system in six months or less. Not only that within two years of this full production we would be able to export more oil than all of O.P.E.C.

What does that mean for you? How about 1990 gas prices again. What would this mean for North East Montana? Jobs, jobs and more jobs. A win for the Nation, and a win for small town America.

Where is the Transparency??

"Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river." -- Nakita Khrushchev


When President Obama, took office last month, he promised a new transparency in his administration. Which included having new legislation on the Internet 48 hours before congress was to vote on it.

That was not the case with this massive stimulus package. It was not posted until it had been through both houses of congress. Yes it is available now online. Most extreme left wing sites have it posted and call it the greatest thing since Obama winning the White House.

Yes, dear reader, just for you, I am carefully studying this 1100 page document to see what is so great and what is not so great.

Now another thing that really concerns me is. President Obama stated that this was an emergency and this legislation needed passage sooner rather than later. The President had the bill ready for his signature on Saturday morning. Where was he? Was he at his desk with pen in hand ready to sign his baby into law? Nope, he was in Chicago, shooting hoops and having a romantic dinner with his wife. Did he sign it into law upon his return to the White House, nope, he waited til Tuesday to sign the "life saving" boost for our dire economy.


So Mr. President, I ask, Where is this new transparency we so greatly heard about one month ago??
