Obama says he will get focused on the jobs problem just as soon as he returns from his August vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Like the more famous Hamptons, the Vineyard is a playground of the rich and famous out to find some summer enjoyment on the Atlantic shore. Just before leaving, Obama articulated his number one goal is to grow the economy.
But while Obama is playing jetsetter, back in Washington a crucial regulatory agency, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has been captured by a group of extremists who actually believe the USA would be better off with a smaller economy.
In some of the economy’s most hopeful corners, these bureaucrats are wielding all of the levers of regulatory authority in their arsenal to kill growth. Just as the “green shoots” of recovery sprout, they come along with a can of herbicidal regulations and kill the sprout. As long as Obama leaves these extremists in charge of the agency, the economy is unlikely to recover and will suffer.
Having a reliable national electrical infrastructure is vital to new job creation.
Yet new EPA regulations will significantly reduce the amount of electricity generated from coal-fired energy flowing from our power grid. The EPA told the public that the agency was working with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to determine the impact of its regulations on the reliability of the nation’s electricity capacity. This was to include a joint modeling effort.

The E P A has been the ruination of the country
Along with unions!
I hope he enjoys his $50,000 a week vacation.on the Vineyard, it's a pleasure trip, that many American citizens can no longer afford. Thanks, to his administrations overbearing rules, regulations and Obama care fears, we spend our time looking for work to put food on the table , while he dines in style.. Remember in November 2012.!.
Why wait for November 2012, demand he be removed for not qualified now. By 2012 his minions will have created enough illegal vote fraud to win once more. It will be a lot more difficult to remove him then
CONGRESS NEEDS TO DEFUND THE EPA AND MANY OTHER USELESS DEPARTMENTS, AND THERE ARE MANY, ENOUGH TO BALANCE THE BUDGET !!!
Yes Gary I agree and I'm sure that the cost of his vacation at Martha's Vin-yard will run into the millions when you include all costs like security and maybe another separate plane (Dog House 1) for Bo the dog to fly on.
Already done. Michelle took another 737 equivalent to go to Martha's Vineyard 3 hours ahead of her hubby.
I wonder if they have separate BR by now
HERMANNG I WOULD SAY YES THAT THEY SLEEP IN SEPARATE BEDS. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT OBAMA PREFERS THE MEN. FURTHER I ASK THESE QUESTION? WHERE IS THE LIST OF BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS FROM THEIR WEDDING? ONLY ONE WEDDING PHOTO? WHERE WERE HIS DAUGHTERS BORN & AT WHAT HOSPITALS?
No need to answer, hermmang–unlike Rush Limbaugh and a few of his followers, most folks who care to see more wedding photos or who want to know where the Obama girls were born, etc., know how to use Google.
LMAO! JAMES GO AHEAD 7 GOOGLE YOUR HEAR AWAY ! WHAT THREE PHOTOS TOTAL!
TELL WHO GETS MARRIED WITHOUT HAVING PHOTOS MADE OF THEIR BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS?
"ONLY ONE WEDDING PHOTO?"
"WHAT THREE PHOTOS TOTAL!"
Do I hear five? Seven? Nine?
And how are you doing with that search for where the daughters were born? Perhaps you could hire a private detective–I hear that Susan Daniels is available.
JAMES POSSIBLY YOU CAN COME UP WITH MORE? BUT I DOUBT IT! MUST I REMIND YOU THAT 1 OR 3 PHOTOS DO NOT MAKE A WEDDING PHOTO ALBUM.
MY WEDDING PHOTO ALBUM HAD OVER 300 PHOTOS IN IT. WHERE ARE THE BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS PHOTOS? AS FOR HIS DAUGHTER'S GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE THEY DRUG THEM UP FROM? LOL! MOST LIKELY KENYA.
And just how many of those over 300 photos did you post on the web?
And why is the number relevant? And just how many would be enough for you?
By the way, did you think the inane joke about Obama's kids would cover up the obvious fact that you couldn't find something with a 10-second web search?
Now let's see which of those four questions you can answer, and which you can't.
JAMES I AM NOT THE FIRST LADY THEREFORE MY WEDDING PHOTOS ARE PRIVATE.
IT IS RELEVANT BECAUSE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES ARE FICTIONAL.
LOL! MOST CERTAINLY MORE THAN 1 TO 3 PHOTOS OF THEIR WEDDING & ESPECIALLY OF THEIR BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS.
GET SERIOUS I DON'T SEE YOU COMING UP WITH ANY FACTS ON THE DAUGHTER'S PLACE OF BIRTH & HOSPITALS.
THERE I ANSWERED ALL FOUR WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU.
NOW YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR BASEMENT.
CORRECTION:
LMAO! JAMES GO AHEAD & GOOGLE YOUR HEART AWAY! LOL! THREE PHOTOS TOTAL? NONE OF THEIR BRIDES MAIDS OR GROOMS?
ALSO GOOGLE ALL YOU WANT ON HIS DAUGHTER'S BUT MOST LIKELY YOU WILL JUST COME UP WITH ZERO AS MOST OF US HAVE?
YOU DO KNOW HOW TO USE GOOGLE RIGHT?
As for this; Maybe just maybe these are private citizens and they do not want there pictures posted. You say that you are a private citizen and that is why yours are not posted: the same may be said for them.
Alexia said: ESPECIALLY OF THEIR BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS.
WRONG IREUEL! THE FIRST FAMILY ARE PUBLIC FIGURES.
WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE BRIDES MAIDS & GROOMS?
EVERYTHING THAT THEY FAKE ALWAYS COMES OUT CHEAP LOOKING!
I repeat my previous post. Private citizens. But I add just maybe there were no Brides Maids & Grooms. After all at that time neither of them had a lot of money and neither did either of their families had money either. So alas to could of been a very small wedding. I am still not sure the relevancy's of this conversation. Oh well it is hard to inspire myself in this lonely trailer park world I live in. Maybe that is why I just don't get it. That darn Porsche looks funny sitting out front though. LOL.
IREUEL I DO NOT BUY THE PART ABOUT THE PORSCHE BUT I DO ABOUT THE TRAILER PARK.
THEY ARE NOT PRIVATE CITIZENS NOW. THEY ARE PUBLIC FIGURES LIKE IN THE FIRST LADY & PRESIDENT. MAYBE IT WILL SEEP INTO YOUR BRAIN EVENTUALLY? BUT I DOUBT IT.
A SMALL WEDDING IS A POSSIBILITY? BUT MOST LIKELY JUST ANOTHER LIE TO GO WITH THE MANY LIES WHICH WE HAVE BECOME SO ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING FROM THE OBAMA'S.
THE RELEVANCY IS TO THE OBAMA'S NOT BEING AS THEY HAVE PROJECTED THEIR SELVES TO BE.
I AM SURE THAT BEING SO LOW ON THE SOCIAL LADDER IS SOME WHAT DEPRESSING TO YOU.
WHERE OR WHO DID YOU STEAL THE PORSCHE FROM?
See, s/he really can't differentiate between the Obamas, who are public figures (though of course they weren't "the first family" when first married–and the attendants. Presumably the folks who parked cars at the wedding should also have their personal info released
As if any of this is relevant to his/her original claims that there was only ONE photo and that no one (except those who can handle a 10-second Google search) knows where the Obama daughters were born.
And as if the whole mess is somehow relevant to American political situation.
JAMES THIS RESPONSE IS SO WEAK!
ALL I COULD FIND WERE JUST THREE WEDDING PHOTOS! I ASK FOR YOU TO PROVIDE MORE BUT YOU DID NOT.
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION AS I ASK OF YOU ON OBAMA'S DAUGHTERS! YOU HAVE NOT TO DATE.
THE WHOLE MESS IS VERY RELEVANT TO THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SITUATION! WHEN WE HAVE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO HAS PROVIDED FALSE DOCUMENTS & NOT ADDRESSED QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ELIGIBILITY IT THEN BECOMES RELEVANT.
WHICH YOU HAVE NOT?
James she has read nothing else I write here, if she had she would see that no way the information I put forward on other issues would ever been written by a OBOT, James, Ellen, The DNC or anyone else of the last 38 percent that Gallop has that say they approve of this horrible President's performance. But yet I stand by my assertions that she just enjoys the battle more than the many issue she and I do agree on. Just becuase I don't buy the whole birth issue she must be right 100 5 of the time or else. Just plan pathologically disturbing behavior. I even wonder if in fact she is the DNC plant to disgrace the birther movement. Just a theory. She sure acts the part as the left love to tag them. No one will ever know.
As I said last week, ireuel, you're too smart for me–"Alexia" is my one true alias, so feel free to address him/her as "James" from now on.
JAMES SHE/HE OR IT YOU WOULD LOVE TO BE ME INSTEAD OF THE LOSER WHICH YOU ARE.
SORRY BEING AS ATTRACTIVE AS I AM JAMES I COULD NEVER PASS FOR SOME ONE AS UGLY AS YOU. AS WELL JAMES YOU ARE A GAY / BI-MALE & I AM A STRAIGHT FEMALE SO THAT JUST DOES NOT EQUATE.
YOU HAVE THAT FAR AWAY LOOK. THE FARTHER AWAY YOU GET FROM ME THE BETTER YOU LOOK.
IREUEL WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.
YOUR LIBERAL VIEWS HAVE WELL BEEN ESTABLISHED BY YOUR PRIOR COMMENTS ON THIS SITE.
YOU SAY I ENJOY THE BATTLE WHERE IT IS ALWAYS YOU OR JAMES WHO INITIATES THE BATTLES WITH YOUR DIRECT & INDIRECT COMMENTS WHICH YOU MAKE TOWARD ME.
I CARE LESS IF YOU EVER BUY THE BIRTHER ISSUES OR NOT. AFTER ALL A FOOL SUCH AS YOU OR JAMES ARE BORN EVERY MINUTE.
SORRY MY BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL WHEN COMPARED TO SUCH RETARDS AS YOU & JAMES.
TRUE I MAY BE A DNC PLANT & THEN AGAIN I MAY BE MARY POPPINS.
YOU STARTED AT THE BOTTOM & IT HAS BEEN DOWNHILL FOR YOU EVER SINCE.
Notice his/her claim that she responds only to insults–another obvious lie, since s/he responds to everything I write on any post, complete with insults, even when it has absolutely nothing to do with him/her.
The good news is, it only helps my side. That's why I created "Alexia" as an alias.
JAMES, HE/SHE, BI, GAY, IT OR WHATEVER YOU ARE?
WITH YOUR TRACK RECORD NO ONE IS BUYING THIS BS FROM YOU.
YOU WISH YOU WERE ME! BUT THEN AGAIN BEING BI/GAY THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE DOESN'T IT?
Indeed Gary!
See we think alike. Must be in the name.
Hey Gary, How's it going? Good here with the help of millions like me we have brought Barry to 38 Percent approval rating as of today. See the war is a bigger picture than the birther issue, at which is see zero traction. But Barry spending a record amount of borrowed money in his first 945 days has been a true help. You know what President Bush debt for the whole eight years will be surpassed by this man in 3 years. Bye Bye Barry, I think that would make a nice song. Oh while got to go see what is being said about me.
Barry lied and people died.
IREUEL YOUR STUPIDITY EXCEEDS YOUR INTELLECT. WHAT WAR? THE 38% DOES NOT REPRESENT JUST REPUBLICANS IDIOT. TRUST ME IN THE END YOUR BELOVED OBAMA WILL GO DOWN OVER HIS FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. ONLY FOOLS SUCH AS YOU AND JAMES MCPHERSON DENY IT.
Jimmy Carter instigated the EPA on his watch, the seed of distruction of our economies was released to what it is today complete out of control progressive marxist control.
The government is the PROBLEM not the solution.
The EPA are the ones who told the 911 responders and victims that the air was ok to breathe. They
have not been held accountable. What is wrong with our govt officials? Is it the money and the power
they so desire that they just don't give a crap about a human life except their own? And the nerve of
this usurper to be vacationing….again…..on my dime. I don't get one of those. Ya kidding? He doesn't have a plan. THIS IS his plan. I'm so stressed out with this crap I could scream. I can't even find trust with any of the new Repub/Conservative candidates. I almost think voting won't help again this time around. WE need to do a drastic measure like citizens arrest. Where the heck is the military? Come home and get your boots on the ground.
Even though I believe Obama is Anti-America & is doing his very best to destroy this country, I realize more then ever how corrupt our entire congress is. There are a few of them who mean well but they can't buck the system. Until enough people wise up & vote most of the incumbants out of office, things will not change. These reps in congress are Power Mad, Money Hungry, Corrupt , people, & their main reason for being where they are, is to screw the citizens & line their own pockets. Obama is an Illegal in the Presidents Office, & they do nothing about it. If enough members of Congress grew some backbone & kicked the Illegal out, all of the damage he has done could be resinded. And Obama could be put in Prison, where he belongs.
The EPA is killing jobs there is no doubt, they are the enviromental police with a grudge and some of our esteemed journalist had better catch up with the Interior Dept. another arm of the enviromental gestappo who is stealing land and blocking access to open land faster than you can imagine.
There are many government agencies both state and fed that just need to be eliminated and defunded for good..and our government could use a good overhaul, period.
Hey listen hear, The EPA is going to impose regulations that will reduce the amount of power sent out to the grid. Then the office across the street from the EPA is going to buy a bunch of Chevy Volts so that the green plan is working, but then they are going to spend 1 Billion dollars putting plugs all over Washington to plug these electric cars in Then when EPA is done there will not be enough electricity on the grid to support these Chevy Volts and rolling black outs will come. Then you know what we will find out that all the pollution is really coming from other countries that don't have a EPA. Then you know what we will be first working for all the other countries and ruled by the other countries.
Oh yeah why don't we give Barry Obama another 4 years. NOT.
