Epitome of hypocrisy

Now, another slap in the face to every patriotic, hard-working American taxpayer compliments of the Obama White House.

It is no secret that our gasoline prices will again skyrocket and that will only further constrain the U.S. financial recovery. We could be drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and enjoying Alaska's great resources of natural gas as well, but drilling for more oil and natural gas is believed to be an environmental hazard by this White House, so we here in the U.S. can continue to be held hostage by Middle East oil.

Now, Obama chooses to compound the insult to every American by sending $2,000,000,000 of our taxpayer dollars to Brazil to further their drilling program. That's $2 billion with a "B" folks!

So, it's unsound to drill here or take nature resources from Alaska because of environmental concerns, but it's OK to send our money to do it in Brazil.

This is the epitome of insult, arrogance and hypocrisy! Wake up America! Pay attention to what is happening to and being done to the greatest country in the world - or it won't be.
