Obama using the spill to pass energy taxes

At NRO Chris Horner documents the total Obama focus, not on fixing the oil spill in the Gulf, but on using the crisis to pass a tax on energy.

...today Roll Call reports (subscription required) that during today’s White House meeting — called by the president to try and advance his global-warming agenda by using the Gulf spill as the tail to wag that otherwise dead dog — Obama accused Tennessee senator Lamar Alexander of raising a “talking point” by seeking to discuss response measures the government might employ in the Gulf, and went on to say that the oil spill was not the topic of the meeting.

Remember, the point of the meeting was supposed to be how to pass a spill-response bill, though the substance was revealed to be how to use the Gulf spill to pass a global-warming bill calling it a spill-response bill.

Is there anything more bloodless, more ruthless, more cynical than using the fact that the Gulf coast is being polluted and people are losing their jobs, businesses and homes to pass a piece of legislation that does not even tangentially address the problem.  Obama is using the spill to advance a Fascist socialist agenda.  This is reminiscent of Stalin's forced famine policies in the Ukraine that cost seven millions their lives as he pushed for collective farms.  I don't want to, but I firmly believe that if Obama had the power he would do exactly the same thing.  So far his regime has prevented foreign ships and companies from aiding in the clean-up effort.  This is similar to Stalin's cordon around the Ukraine to prevent food from getting in a people were dying of hunger.

Keep this in mind when we hear about Obama's "concern" about the oil spill.  The news media were complicit in covering up Stalin's famine policy.  When Stalin arrested British engineers and put them on trial:

Journalists were warned they would be shut out of the trial completely if they wrote news stories about the famine. Most of the foreign press corp yielded to the Soviet demand and either didn't cover the famine or wrote stories sympathetic to the official Soviet propaganda line that it didn't exist. Among those was Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Walter Duranty of the New York Times who sent one dispatch stating "...all talk of famine now is ridiculous."

If this sounds familiar, remember that CNN covered up the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein so that they could continue to "report" from Saddam's Iraq.  The MFM are so far in the tank for Obama and his agenda that they will say and do anything to prop him up.
