Any energy initiative put forward by the White House, as rational as it may be, will be pegged by Republicans as a “job killing” radically left plan. We, of course, know better. Regrettably, we may just have to bite our lip until 2013 (and hope the unemployment rate drops below 9%!).

The direct relationship of their power over our lifestyles is no different than a chemical dependency. To quote a song lyric…”God d*#!$ the pusherman!”
