B-HO to discuss the rising price of arugula with Ahmadinejad

B-HO has proven himself to be a dope in many ways:

He has visited 57 of the 58 states.
He wants more Arab speakers for Afghanistan.
He's concerned about the price of arugula at the whole foods market?
He claimed 10,000 people were killed by a tornado.
He sat in the Rev Wright's church for 20 years and claims “not knowing” Wright was a racist lunatic.
He shared a stage and boardroom with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

But the dopiest of the dopiest is his willingness to sit down and have tea while chatting with the world’s most heinous dictators. To be fair, B-HO has gone from sitting down unconditionally with dictators from Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and North Korea as stated in the CNN YouTube debate to, “Well we’d have lay the ground work first. And John McCain knows I need the Cuban vote so Cuba is pretty much off the table and I never said I’d sit with Cuban dictators anyway. Except for the times that I did – but that’s all a distraction from the real issues and won’t help my children.”

What are you going to talk about with Ahmadinejad?

B-HO: So Mahmoud, what’s the cost arugula in the Tehran whole foods market?
MA: We will destroy you. You are the great Satan.
B-HO: Would you mind not saying that? It’s hard for me convince the American people that you’re an OK guy when you talk like that.
MA: We will destroy you. You are the great Satan.
B-HO: Look, you’re OK. I’m OK. Can’t we all just get along?
MA: We will destroy you. You are the great Satan.

At the joint presser following the “talks”:

Reporter: President B-HO did you achieve your goal?
B-HO: Yes, we have achieved peace in our time.
Reporter: President Ahmadinejad, is that true?
MA: We will destroy them. They are the great Satan.
B-HO: Now Mahmoud, you promised you wouldn’t say that.

Seems to me we ought to be supporting some anti-government Iranian rebels. We should encourage those rebels to put pressure on the Iranian government by attacking and destroying the Iranian government’s only means of propping up its dictatorship – oil revenue. Iran has but one oil refinery. Insurgents ought to be targeting that asset relentlessly. We should be limiting crude oil going in and refined oil coming out and if possible the facility itself.

AAAHHHHHHHH! The price gas will go through the roof!!! Yes it will. And that might force us to start using some of our own resources. We have trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, billions of barrels of oil, nearly limitless supplies of coal, the ability to safely build and manage nuclear facilities and the ingenuity to get on with developing the next “big thing.”

What’s stopping us? Green weenies and cheap oil. As I sat with other parents in 15-20 degrees below normal temperatures freezing at a Little League game last night, I thought maybe cooling temps and high gas prices are going to cause thinking Americans to abandon the green weenies and get on with providing the fossil energy required until the next big thing can be developed.
