    Obama signed an executive order on his first day in office which imposed limits on former lobbyists and others who worked in his administration. But the executive order provided a waiver from the rules if it was deemed in the national interest.

  • OBAMA  LIKE HIGH GAS

  • Pump prices kept marching toward $4 a gallon Thursday and signs of a stronger U.S. economy helped push the price of benchmark oil past $108 per barrel.

    Retail gasoline prices haven't fallen in 35 days, rising Thursday to a national average of $3.74 per gallon. Over the five weeks prices have increased 37 cents per gallon or 11 percent. Prices are being driven by the price of oil. They have never been so high at this time of the year.

  • Wholesale gasoline futures rose 2 percent to finish at $3.35 per gallon, suggesting that retail prices will keep rising in the coming days. Typically gasoline prices rise in spring as demand rises and refiners begin to make expensive summer blends of gasoline required to meet clean air laws.

  • The price of West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. oil used as a benchmark, rose $1.77 to end at $108.84 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, which is imported by many U.S. refiners to make gasoline, rose $3.54 to finish at $126.20 a barrel in London.

  • Oil prices have risen 9 percent this year because global demand is high and supplies have been disrupted in South Sudan, Syria and elsewhere. There also is concern that tensions with Iran over its nuclear program could lead to further supply problems.

  • The U.S. economy is growing even though high oil prices are taking spending money from consumers and make shipping and travel more expensive.

    Economic data released Thursday showed applications for unemployment benefits hit a four-year low, spending on residential construction rose and major retailers reported stronger-than-expected sales for February.

  • Stock prices rose on Wall Street Thursday, helped by the encouraging economic news. That bolstered the feeling that the economy could start burning more oil.

    "It's almost impossible for oil to stay down with equities rising," said Rich Ilczyszyn, an analyst at ITrader.

  • Economists worry that high oil prices will eventually take a toll on the economy, though.

    "We've weathered it OK so far, but it could become a much stronger headwind than we anticipate," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

  • Consumers have been helped by low heating and electricity bills this winter, which have eased the pain of high fill-up costs. The weather has been unusually mild across much of the country and natural gas, which is used to heat many homes and to generate electricity, has been cheap.

  • Natural gas futures fell nearly 6 percent Thursday to end at $2.46 per thousand cubic feet after the government reported that supplies of natural gas declined less than anticipated last week. The nation's supplies in storage are 45 percent above the five-year average and prices are close to a 10-year low.

    In other energy trading, heating oil rose 7 cents to finish at $3.28 a gallon.

  • * A look a records for twins born at the same hospital as Obama one day earlier proved that there were microfiche records from the era, Arpaio told Phoenix New Times. Microfiche copies of the president's birth record have not been acknowledged to exist.

  • * Arpaio said the there are inconsistencies in the text characters used in the long form birth certificate released by the White House.

  • * Arpaio's team also claims Immigration and Naturalization Service international arrival records for the month August 1961 contain a gap- there are no records for the week of Obama's birth, they say.

  • Arpaio is subject to a federal grand jury investigation for abuse of power, unrelated to the birther issue, and several critics contend the beleaguered sheriff is seeking to draw attention away from his own legal problems with this investigation.

  • FACT: FAILED BUSH got us into this economic debacle over the course of EIGHT LONG YEARS, and we aren't going to overcome it overnight.

    FACT: GDP growth has ONLY BEEN POSITIVE since the middle of 2008. It was NEGATIVE at the point FAILED BUSH left office.

  • Even more striking is that the rate of growth under Obama has been only slightly higher than during the 1930s — which, of course, was the decade of the Great Depression. In the 1930s, real annual GDP growth was 1.3 percent — just 0.2 percent less than under Obama.

  • They built big towering windmills, really. Was it neccessary? Solar is good, yes, on good weather days. Useless unless made to rotate along with the sun's movement across the sky. seen some new ideas, big not needed.

  • what a crazy twisted person! America IS the greatest country in the world. But we didn't get there with neo-liberalism (socialism), printing money, wishful thinking and a welfare/warfare state. It was through hard work, a sound currency (gold and silver) and classical-liberalism (libertarian) ideals.

  • U.S. House of Representatives investigations have revealed the failed green jobs initiative in President Obama’s ambitious environmental agenda.

  • With an initial government cost of one-half billion dollars, evidence proves that only about 10% of sponsored trainees were placed in green jobs.

  • As part of the Obama green energy program, the goal was to train 124,893 people, and place 79,854 (64%) in new green jobs.

  • After 17 months, the results of the green jobs program indicate that only 52,762 were trained, and only 8,035 got green jobs – each job costs tax payers about $62,000. (U.S. Dept. of Labor Inspector General, Jan. 2012)

  • The Solyndra, First Solar and many other new energy failures are direct evidence of energy technologies that fail economic viability in today’s competitive global markets, even with massive government subsidies.

  • Current solar and wind power systems still cost 3 to 4 times that of conventional coal, natural gas and nuclear power production. Further, the giant Chinese producers of solar panels and wind energy turbines have reduced production projections due to lack of global market demands.

  • President Obama’s first re-election campaign ad boasts of 2.7 million green energy jobs. But, nothing in the Departments of Energy, Labor or Commerce justifies such job claims.

  • Obama appears to be losing his big green bet on his new green economy. Sadly, he’s gambling with your money and future prosperity to win environmental votes.

  • Sure, because if you look at that commentary, the gas prices we’re dealing with now have been more gradual. When it’s more — when it happens over a month or two-month long period — that hurts more. Families adjust when it’s gradual. All of a sudden the media is talking about the laws of supply and demand and putting things in context. When President Bush was President, they talked about oil speculators. Who were friends of President Bush? They would put it together like that.LOOK AT THIS SHIT

  • Hence your problem, as well as with all liberals. You live in a fantasy that only YOU possess

    the knowledge to know what is best for all of society. Only the conservatives are required to

    compromise. Every aspect of one’s life should be scrutinized and controlled. If you don’t

    see the hypocrisy’s and removal of individual freedom that you espouse to, then you're hopelessly lost to the founding principles of this great nation and what it means to be free.

  • First, Obama's economic advisers promised the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent. In 2012, the unemployment rate was supposed to fall below 6 percent. The prediction was not meant to be taken lightly. In a January 2009 radio address, Obama announced he was releasing a report based on "rigorous analysis" that charted unemployment through 2013 so "the American people can see exactly what this plan will mean for their families."

  • n early 2009, the incoming administration offered detailed predictions of exactly what the stimulus would accomplish. Those predictions, especially the five boldest, have proven to be terribly wrong. So on this anniversary, in lieu of gifts, let us offer the president a little accountability.

  • Some milestones are worth celebrating. Others, we'd much rather forget. Today, sadly, is the latter. On this day in 2009, President Barack Obama signed the stimulus bill into law.

    Three years and $825 billion later, the results are clear. Instead of producing an economic recovery, the stimulus produced only broken promises and massive debt. The stimulus failed--and by the president's own standards at that.
