A Short Review of Obama's Agenda
By Alan Caruba
What word describes a President who knowingly and deliberately decreases the nation’s access to energy by stopping an oil pipeline that will not cost the taxpayers a penny and will generate 20,000 jobs?
# Who imposed a moratorium and oil production in the Gulf of Mexico that cost an estimated 12,000 jobs;
# Whose EPA is causing coal-fired plants that provide electricity to shut down;
# Whose administration has put uranium-rich lands off limits to mining to fuel the nuclear plants that represent 20% of the electricity the nation uses?
What word describes a President who knowingly and deliberately plans to cut the Pentagon budget by half a trillion dollars or more in the next decade?
# Who will force the Army to cut as many as eight of its 45 brigades;
# Who has announced that seven of the Navy’s cruisers will be decommissioned sooner than planned;
# Who will leave the Navy with a fleet of fewer than 230 ships if “sequestration” cuts another $500 billion by next January;
# Who appears to believe that the next war can be fought with drones?
The President takes an oath found in the U.S. Constitution that says, “ I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
What if he ignores the Constitutional limits on presidential powers?
