Gas prices Up No Gas Price Relief for Motorists More pain at pump as Calif. gas prices rise again Experts question Obama's claim that gas prices tied to recession, recovery Obama holds energy development hostage Earlier this summer, with almost no media coverage, President Barack Obama quietly locked down tens of billions of barrels of oil and immense reserves of natural gas from development for the next five years. As the nation was focused on the U.S. Supreme Court's health care decision, Obama reinstituted a moratorium on offshore oil drilling that shuts down about 85 percent of America's Outer Continental Shelf from exploration or drilling. Currently, the federal government only allows searching for energy on 2 percent of the OCS. The Obama decision, which overrides a previous decision by a Democratic Congress and President George W. Bush in 2008, blocks the exploration and development of an estimated 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the OCS.... Gas prices, which stood at $1.84 per gallon when Obama took office, had climbed to more than double that rate ($3.82) as of Monday, Oct. 8, and he has almost institutionalized $3 to $4 per-gallon gas. Drilling permits issued, which rose by 58 percent during Bill Clinton's years as president and by 116 percent during the George W. Bush era, have fallen by 36 percent under Obama. While U.S. oil production has increased during Obama's presidency, it has risen — despite his best efforts to stifle energy production — because it has climbed on non-government lands, such as the Bakken formation, where Obama has little power to curtail such production. To some observers, it is as if Obama is waging a war against domestic oil and coal production, while he touts government subsidies to solar firms like Solyndra that reward his donors and then go bankrupt.

Obama's Middle-Class Tax Hike The president's most recent budget proposal would add some $7.6 trillion in new federal debt. The additional debt-service costs would add up to an average of about $1,300 per family per year under the current tax system.

The Obama Part-Time Economy: More people have left the work force than jobs have been created since January 2010 according to Democrats.

Seniors losing their health care Up How ObamaCare Harms the Most Vulnerable More than 12 million seniors have selected the popular Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, and 7.4 million are at risk of losing their coverage because of ObamaCare's $156 billion in cuts to the program. According to the Congressional Budget Office, MA will be cut by $308 billion over the next 10 years: $156 billion in direct cuts to the program and $152 billion in indirect payment reductions from the interactions with the other cuts contained in the health overhaul law. Obamacare 'Surprise' Threatens Access to Medicare Advantage Coverage "[M]ost people with Medicare Advantage plans will begin to see higher out of pocket payments, premium increases, and a reduction in benefits, costing $46 per month or more on average. This is scheduled to start in 2013. "Even more dangerous is the possibility that some Medicare providers will stop treating Medicare patients entirely because of the loss of income from these cuts. According to the 2012 Medicare Trustees report, the payment cuts will cause an estimated 15% of Medicare providers to operate in the red."

Americans dependent on government handouts Up Under Obama Food Stamp Growth 75X Greater Than Job Creation! Since January 2009, as the chart shows, a net of 194,000 new jobs have been created. During that same time, 14.7 million have been added to the food stamp rolls. Welfare Skyrockets under Obama, $1 Trillion in 2011 [T]he government spent enough on welfare last year to cut a check for nearly $60,000 for each impoverished household it provided with benefits. If this isn't insane, what is? The medium income in the U.S. is around $50,000! The official poverty line is an annual income of $23,021 for a family of four. Just do the math. In 2011 about 16.8 million households qualified as living below the federal poverty level, which means that if the government's welfare spending were equally divided between them, they would each get $59,523. That exceeds the pay of many hard-working Americans. The CRS also confirms that, under Obama, federal spending for low-income programs has skyrocketed. Here are the figures; government spending for welfare ballooned 23%, from $563 million in 2008 to $692 million, in 2009. The administration attributes it to "recession-sensitive" programs such as Medicaid and food stamps. The reality is that the Obama Administration has been promoting food stamps like there's no tomorrow, even offering states that sign up the most recipients cash bonuses.

By contrast, Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting. After Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and terrorists killed our ambassador to Libya on Sept. 11, I further reported that Obama also skipped his daily intelligence meeting every day in the week leading up to the attacks.

Delayed and denied oil permits Up High Gas Prices Are President Obama's Fault "Offshore drilling permits are being issued at less than half the rate of the previous administration. The average number of leases issued on public lands is less than half than during President Clinton's term." The Obama administration's energy plan all along was based upon the rise in energy costs in order to force Americans to be "greener." Again in 2008, candidate Obama was perfectly content with soaring energy prices if it meant less greenhouse gas emissions. This is what he said: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Critics Rip Obama Oil Rhetoric; Spotlight His 'Energy Obstructionist' Record No Virginia, There Is No Sanity Clause In Obama Drilling Permit Policy Last November, despite strong state bi-partisan and public support, the Obama administration unexpectedly dropped Virginia from the government's most recent leasing plan altogether, declaring a seven-year delay with little explanation. Lawsuit: Obama Is 'Illegally' Thwarting Offshore Drilling "ATP's lawsuit provides a revealing glimpse into the capital-intensive oil and gas industry where unfair and illegal actions by a government agency can cost companies (and the U.S. economy) enormous sums of money."

Irrationally exuberant printing of money Up Federal Reserve flirting with higher inflation The Fed reduced official interest rates to near zero almost four years ago and has since then bought some $2.3 trillion in securities to boost the economy, taking the central bank deeper into uncharted policy territory. PRESIDENT OBAMA IS ANNIHILATING THE MIDDLE CLASS! U.S. Dollar Hyperinflation by 2014 Says [Economist] John Williams Now, there is talk the Fed might increase the money printing. Williams charges, "The Fed's primary concern is to keep the banking system afloat, and they're not doing so well with that"... [and] says it is only a matter of time before all the Fed money printing will "trigger a sell-off ... and that will provide the early start of the hyperinflation." Is Hyperinflation About to Devastate the Value of the Dollar? Price-clubbed in U.S. — America's real inflation rate has moved above 8% The Inflation Rate Is A Lie Too But despite all of the evidence to the contrary, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues to insist that prices are very stable right now. In fact, one of the reasons why he says that more money printing ("quantitative easing") is okay is because we are in a "low inflation" environment at the moment. Sadly, this is exactly the kind of delusional thinking that led to the horrible crisis in the Weimar Republic back in the 1920s. Quantitative easing did not work for the Weimar Republic, and it is not going to work for us either. But it will cause the prices of the things that we buy on a regular basis to go up even more.

Government control over all our lives Up Obama's Smashing Success Story: Greatly Increasing The Power Of Government In addition, the President has vastly expanded the power of the Administrative State over the American people, while elevating the power of the President over the other two branches of government. ObamaCare fundamentally changes the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government. The law creates a 15 member "Independent Payment Advisory Board" [i.e., Death Panel] which is vested with the unilateral power to make and enforce laws, including rationing of health care and imposition of new taxes. As reported by a Cato Policy Analysis, under ObamaCare, the IPAB proposals will have the force of law without the approval of Congress or the signature of the President. Congress may only block its edicts if the House and Senate pass, and the President signs, an alternative that achieves the same budgetary result. After 2020, the law requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement IPAB's "proposals" even if Congress enacts a substitute. Finally, the law gives IPAB and the Secretary "the sole authority to judge their own actions by prohibiting administrative or judicial review of the Secretary's implementation of an IPAB proposal." The Dodd-Frank bill establishes a new regulatory body, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and gave it vast regulatory authority over consumer financial products and services. However, like the IPAB, it is shielded from Congressional oversight and budget control by being located as a unit inside and funded by the Federal Reserve. The President has established the precedent of making recess appointments when the Senate is technically in session. And, he has established the power of his office to suspend laws he chooses not to implement, such as current Federal immigration laws, by executive order.
Øbonehead's miserable failures Up Obama's Unprecedented Record of Failure on Jobs in the 44 months Obama has been in office, the unemployment rate has been below 8% in just two, and it was at or above 9% for 29 months.

Worse, aside from the meager gain in jobs, every other employment indicator is worse today than it was in January 2009.... Listing the rest would require a whole nother post blog blogosphere!
