Same Old Story

Dateline: January 31, State of the Union Address Topic: our fearless leader says we need to cut our addiction to oil. We are opium addicts with a serious addiction. He wants us to learn to like ethanol. He will get some research going. Dateline: February 6, Washington DC Topic: our fearless leader submits his budget to Congress. He wants to drill for oil in Alaska. He slashes budgets all over the place. He seems to have forgotten most of what he said the week before. Dateline: February 9, New York Times Topic: Energy Department is going to begin lay offs - researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory will no longer be researching renewable energy for our nation because their budget has been cut. Anyone see a discrepancy between spoken words and real actions? As WordWhammy put it:

If you haven't caught on yet, when you see our president flapping his gums on TV, he's only making noise. His words mean absolutely nothing.
