“The Communists have won in America with Obama…[who] has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society… President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America don’t they? Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents…” [Xavier Lerma in Pravda]

Milloy: GOP needs to start talking about EPA reform now
By Steve Milloy
September 19, 2012, Washington Times

Fossil Fuel Industry Ads Dominate TV Campaign
“When Barack Obama first ran for president, being green was so popular that oil companies like Chevron were boasting about their commitment to renewable energy, and his Republican opponent, John McCain, supported action on global warming.
As Mr. Obama seeks re-election, that world is a distant memory. Some of the mightiest players in the oil, gas and coal industries are financing an aggressive effort to defeat him, or at least press him to adopt policies that are friendlier to fossil fuels. And the president’s former allies in promoting wind and solar power and caps on greenhouse gases? They are disenchanted and sitting on their wallets.” [New York Times]
