Does this Surprise anyone? Not So Much...SRN

When politicians want to look busy while
avoiding tough decisions during an election year, what do they do? They
form commissions and councils.
And when President Barack Obama saw
Americans struggling with higher gasoline and home energy prices, did he
encourage more domestic oil exploration, off-shore drilling, or coal
production, while lowering taxes on energy?
Of course not. After all, with political
observers expecting a close presidential race this year, Obama needs the
financial and institutional support far-left environmental groups. The
result has been the president anointing certain energy sources – such as
wind and natural gas – as energies of the future, while implementing
regulatory hurdles for more dependable fuels like oil and coal.
Over the last decade, natural gas has
exploded as an important energy source in the United States, accounting
for almost one quarter of all energy consumed. Natural gas has boosted
economic activity in states like Ohio, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania,
and until recently has done so largely without the benefit of
preferential treatment from the federal government.
But to expedite this natural gas boom,
President Obama just recently decided to form an inter agency natural gas
council run by Cecilia Munoz, a former community organizer with La Raza
and White House bureaucrat with deep-ties to George Soros, the
billionaire investor who made his fortune in currency trading throughout
the world while bankrolling liberal political efforts. Munoz formerly
led the Open Society Institute and the Center for Community Change, two
organizations which are directly connected to Soros, MoveOn.org, ACORN,
and other fringe groups with a long record of opposing the development
of America’s oil and coal resources.
