Obama does it again: China gets Brazilian oil

It’s hard to tell if Obama is just an incompetent boob, or if he is really hell-bent on taking America down. I suspect it is both.

Now, we aren’t getting the Brazilian oil either. Well, that’s one way to justify funding failure in the green energy field. You know, that crap that is extremely inefficient, does not work, and nobody except the eco-kooks want it.

But there’s more to this story than merely Brazil selling their oil to China instead of us. You know those offshore rigs that we had? The one’s that the court ordered Obama to resume drilling operations but he ignored the court. Yeah those rigs. Well, he leased those very same rigs to Brazil, and on top of that, spent taxpayer money funding Brazil’s oil drilling.

What? You didn’t know that? Have you been living under a rock, or what’s the problem? From the WSJ on August 18th, 2009:

The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan.

Instead of getting our own oil, Obama the hump stated he wants us to be Brazil’s best customer, remember? No? What have you got, selective memory, dummy? The video of him in his own words is right here.

Well…. F***ed again! Hey thanks Barack! You’re doing one hell of a job!

BUENOS AIRES — Off the coast of Rio de Janeiro — below a mile of water and two miles of shifting rock, sand and salt — is an ultradeep sea of oil that could turn Brazil into the world’s fourth-largest oil producer….

The country’s state-controlled oil company, Petrobras, expects to pump 4.9 million barrels a day from the country’s oil fields by 2020, with 40 percent of that coming from the seabed. One and a half million barrels will be bound for export markets.

The United States wants it, but China is getting it.

Hey! I have a great idea. Let’s buy windmills made in China and solar panels from the likes of Solyndra! Yeah, that’s the ticket! That’ll solve all our problems!

Another strange science story

Weird science seems to be the theme today. You just read about the diamond planet (if you haven’t, it’s in the very next post down) and now we have an underground river about as long as the Amazon and oddly enough, it is underneath the Amazon. This is pretty cool. See, I’m not always a political hack!

Brazilian scientists have discovered an underground river some 4,000 meters (13,000) feet deep, which flows from west to east like the country’s famous waterway.

A statement this week from Brazil’s National Observatory named the underground river Hamza and said it represents one of two different draining systems for the large rainforest region.

A team of scientists led by Elizabeth Pimentel came to the conclusion from studying 241 wells drilled by the state oil giant Petrobras in the Amazon region.

Even though the two rivers cover a similar path they have differences. The underground river flows at a far slower pace and empties into the ocean deep underground.

“It is likely that this river is responsible for the low level of salinity in the waters around the mouth of the Amazon,” the statement said. Read the rest

Obama’s ongoing war against America sinks to new low

Yeah, you read that title correctly. Obama is intentionally destroying this country. If you’ve been paying close attention and looking at facts, you can not deny it.

In his latest effort to strip away “American Exceptionalism” so that we can be like the rest of the world, you’ll actually wonder why you were stupid enough to vote for the bastard. You also need to come to terms with the fact that Obama is a “fellow traveler,” too many have been denying this fact for too long. I’m going to make this real simple for some of you that don’t really “get” what a fellow traveler is. Here’s the definition:

In the United States, the term was adapted from Europe to describe those who, while not Communist Party members, hold views shared by Communists.

Got it? That is Barack Obama.

The latest insanity by Obama comes from Brazil. Remember that unconstitutional and illegal ban he placed on offshore drilling? The one that the courts stated he did not have the authority to impose, and he must lift, but didn’t. He just thumbed his nose at the court? That is an impeachable offense. For the life of me, I can’t understand why we aren’t going down that avenue. Well, this should make your head explode.

Under the Obama administration we can’t drill for oil in the lower 48, can’t drill in Alaska, and we certainly can not drill for our oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and of course the shale oil is off limits as well. Obama just worked out a deal to let Brazil drill offshore, so we can buy oil from them! Spread the wealth, baby!!! “Energy costs will necessarily skyrocket under my plan” – Barack Obama.

Oh! Let’s not forget that Obama gave Petrobus, Brazil’s national oil company, the same company that is going to be drilling, 2 billion dollars about a year ago, remember? Also noteworthy is Petrobus is a Soros investment as well.

To make this real simple. We are funding Brazil’s oil company, so they can drill and extract oil, so that we can purchase our oil from Brazil! Check this out from Investors Business Daily:

His “What, me worry?” presidency has given both Americans and our allies plenty to worry about. But in the process of making nice with Brazil, Obama made a mind-boggling announcement that should make even his most loyal supporter cringe:

We will help Brazil develop its offshore oil so we can one day import it….

Now, with a seven-year offshore drilling ban in effect off of both coasts, on Alaska’s continental shelf and in much of the Gulf of Mexico — and a de facto moratorium covering the rest — Obama tells the Brazilians:

“We want to help you with the technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely. And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers.”

Obama wants to develop Brazilian offshore oil to help the Brazilian economy create jobs for Brazilian workers while Americans are left unemployed in the face of skyrocketing energy prices by an administration that despises fossil fuels as a threat to the environment and wants to increase our dependency on foreign oil.

Now for the fellow traveler connection. The President, Dilma Vana Rousseff is a communist. A revolutionary Marxist cut of the same cloth as the murderous Che Guevara. Matter of fact she was arrested and charged with terrorism. And Obama is schmoozing it up with the bitch. Giving her all sorts of sweetheart deals. Here, I’ve got her mugshot below along with her arrest report, it’s in Portuguese (official language of Brazil) but if you look on the upper right corner, “Terrorista” is pretty much universal.

Rousseff participated in the militant activities of the Comando de Libertação Nacional—COLINA and advocated Marxist politics among labour union members and as editor of the newspaper The Piquet. She reportedly knew how to handle weapons, confront the police, and use guerrilla tactics.

In early 1969, the Minas Gerais branch of Colina was limited to a dozen militants, with little money and few weapons. Its activities had boiled down to four bank robberies, some stolen cars and two bombings, with no casualties. On January 14, however, after the arrest of some militants during a bank robbery, the rest of them gathered to debate what they would do in order to release them from jail. At dawn, the police invaded the group’s house and the militants responded by using a machine gun, which killed two policemen and wounded another….

Rousseff has sometimes been described as the mastermind of the theft of a safe belonging to former governor of São Paulo, Ademar de Barros. The action was carried out on June 18, 1969, in Rio de Janeiro, and netted 2.5 million U.S. dollars….

Carlos Araújo was chosen as one of the six leaders of VAR Palmares, which claimed to be a “political-military organization of Marxist-Leninist partisan orientation which aims to fulfill the tasks of the revolutionary war and the establishment of the working class party, in order to seize power and build socialism.” According to Maurício Lopes Lima, a former member of the Operação Bandeirantes (OBAN) search force (a structure which included the intelligence and torture services of the Armed Forces), Rousseff was the main leader of VAR Palmares.

That’s the summary version. It should be noted that Obama’s new found comrade, Dilma Rousseff’s partner, Carlos Araújo had meetings with the blood thirsty butcher of Latin America, Che Guevara. He also had meetings with Fidel Castro. And Obama is giving her the farm. Go figure!

Obama not welcome in Brazil, Consulate firebombed

I have to admit, this made me crack a great big smile when I read about it on The Blaze. I know. That’s kind of repulsive, a bit demented and not right, I understand that. But I really, really do not like Obama, or his wife. The world would be a much better place if they weren’t in it. We can always “Hope.”

It’s obvious I’m not alone. The Brazillians appear to be sharing the same opinion as me, the only difference is I don’t act on it, they have.

Whatever happened to the Fellow Traveler-in-Chief and his good friend Andy Stern’s favorite slogan. “Workers of the world unite“?

According to local news accounts, the demonstrations were organized by trade unions, political parties and social movement protesters.

It should be noted that while these anti-Obama protests were taking place on Friday, the coward-in-chief decided it wasn’t a good idea to speak to his fellow “workers of the world” in the public square. The White House promptly changed venues to indoors at the easily securable Municipal Theatre. Bummer.
