“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

The most transparent Administration ever, indeed.

Gas prices have been rising for months, but it's well into the election campaign season, and there's no relief in site.  Obama expected an economic recovery to aid his bid for re-election, but that's not going to happen.  Which Obama has FINALLY figured out, so now there's a coordinated campaign to paint the oil companies as evil profiteers who need to be taxed more. 

This is a crock to anyone with even a tenuous connection to reality, but that doesn't stop Obama and his flying monkeys.  Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to do that through the Wall Street Journal.  Alas for Geither, his lies are obvious, and Jazz Shaw at Hot Air exposes them for all to see:
.....I don’t want to see the energy companies getting over-taxed, but they need to kick in a little something if they’re turning a profit. There’s just one problem with this complaint, though. Forbes has been tracking which companies are paying how much in taxes for some time now. Guess who actually pays the most?
 Do read the whole thing. 

And don't forget:  Not only must Obama go, we need gain control of Congress.
