发帖数: 29846 | 1 Newt Slams the President as a member of the “Flat Earth, Sierra Club
Society.”
Earlier today Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland,
President Obama claimed that anyone attacking his absurd reliance on wind
power and algae to solve our massive energy problems are members of the “
Flat Earth Society.”
Obama even went so far as to attack “one of my predecessors,” Rutherford B
. Hayes who Obama quotes as saying that telephones are great but “who would
want to use them”? “This is why he isn’t on Mount Rushmore,” Obama
quipped. But Hayes was hardly a Luddite in the White House. For instance, on
May 10th 1877 Hayes was the first president to install a telephone in the
White House, so who knows what Obama is rambling about?
For his part, Newt is ridiculing Obama’s failures on energy.
“Phase one of the President’s defense against drilling was algae and
that got ridiculed so much he’s now given up on algae for the moment. Phase
two is, ‘American oil is bad but Saudi oil is good.’”
“Now this is wrong on a couple of counts. First, I don’t want the
money going to Saudi Arabia. I want the money going to American companies
creating American jobs in American territories.
Second, it further increases our dependence on the Saudis who are the
largest funders of terrorist education and the largest funders of radical
Islamist education in the world. I don’t want American presidents that bow
to the Saudi King. I want American presidents who produce American oil, in
the United States, make us energy independent, precisely so we don’t turn
to the Saudis.
Newt had a few words directly for the president, too. A reporter asked what
Newt had to say about Obama claiming the Newt ridiculed biofuels. Newt said
he didn’t.
“I don’t ridicule biofuels,” he said. “I’ve supported ethanol, for
example, which is a biofuel… I have a friends at Texas A&M who are working
on algae. The idea that algae is a solution this summer is a fantasy and he
knows it’s a fantasy.”
“Obama represents the Flat Earth, Sierra Club Society,” Newt said.
Gingrich wanted someone to ask the president, “Why is Saudi drilling good
and American drilling bad?”
“This is utter intellectual nonsense,” Newt taunted.
“If he wants to represent Saudi Oil and algae, I’ll be happy to represent
American oil and American jobs and we’ll see this Fall who the American
people want to elect.”
Newt also admitted that they underestimated the effectiveness of Romney’s
attack machine and that they got their strategy wrong. |
