Barrack Obama made a speech before Brazil as he declared, "America will be Brazil's greatest customer when Brazil provides the oil we want." (03/22/2011)
Excerpt from WIKIPEDIA:
"The Department of Energy was formed after the oil crisis on August 8, 1977 by President Jimmy Carter's signing of legislation, The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-91, 91 Stat. 565)."
"The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977, which Carter signed on August 4, 1977, created the Department of Energy, which assumed the responsibilities of the Federal Energy Administration, the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Federal Power Commission, and programs of various other agencies."
"The department began operations on October 1, 1977."For those of you that actually heard Carter speak about this newly formed Department of the U.S. Government his words were to the effect: "America will not be held hostage to the world's oil suppliers. We will vastly reduce the numbers of barrels of oil imported for American use."
America had just seen gasoline lines and drastic gasoline price hikes. Some 35% of America's oil was received from abroad.
This very day America imports some 76% of its oil from abroad!
Carter founded a losing Department and now Obama has sneered in the face of America!
For Obama to stand before a foreign source of oil producers and boast of the nation he Presides over as intending to be the greatest customer of that oil is as foolish as the Department itself!
We are in a financial crisiss and spending BILLIONS annually on a useless Department that needs to be defunded as well as the other wasteful Departments of America's government!
