Obama's Green Phase

Green has always had a number of associations. An inexperienced newbie has often been called "green"- still wet behind the ears. By his actions, being rolled by foreign adversaries and seemingly at sea for months on Afghanistan, Obama is proving to be a babe in the woods and easy pickings for realpolitik tough guys like Vladimir Putin and China's Hu Jintao. Obama even managed to harm relations with India by focusing on himself and praising his own graciousness for hosting the Indian premier in his first official state dinner. Obama appeared to be asking the leader of our great ally India, the world's second most populous nation, if he knew how lucky he was for the chance to be received by the Obamas. Obama remains committed to the "green" agenda on the environment and will further cripple job creation by signing on to carbon reductions that are bound to destroy industry on his coming trip to Copenhagen despite the documented evidence of scientific fraud by climate researchers pushing man-caused global warming. Obama's environmental overreach is bound to grab more green from American wallets as businesses by necessity will pass their newly engendered green costs on to the consumer who will also have to foot higher utility bills. And as far as green goes in terms of lucre, the last President Bush was accused of enriching cronies playing by "rules according to oil" and aiding Cheney's Halliburton cabal. Surely, Obama's friends continue the practice of spreading this "green" around with Obama just as ethically challenged as the worst of his predecessors. Obama loves to play the green with envy game- he is the foremost shill for class envy we have ever had in the highest office. Finally, Obama himself has a literal green hue, not a pleasant Kermit-like bright green either but a kind of Qaddafi mauve shade. Maybe, Obama needs to get out into the sun more which he will have plenty of time to enjoy in surf Hawaii after we send him home as a one-term President.
