FUBAR is the only way to describe what's going on with The White House, Congress and our pro-gasoline national energy policy


AUTO CENTRAL - October 7, 2010: Dina Cappiello, writing for the Associated Press, says that a commission appointed by the president to investigate the recent BP Gulf Oil Disaster has revealed that the Obama administration blocked efforts by government scientists to tell the public just how bad the Gulf oil spill could become and committed other errors that raised questions about its competence and candor during the crisis.

The AP story was published just after 2AM EDT this morning.

According to Ms. Cappiello, the national oil spill commission's staff describes "not an incidental public relations problem" by the White House in the wake of the April 20 accident. Among other things, the report says, the administration made erroneous early estimates of the spill's size, and President Barack Obama's senior energy adviser went on national TV and mischaracterized a government analysis by saying it showed most of the oil was "gone."

So, the long and the short of the story is that things are FUBAR. If you're not certain what FUBAR means, please see Wikipedia's excellent definition by CLICKING HERE.

Meanwhile, the oil/gasoline industry working through such diarrhea-mouthed propaganda organizations such as “FollowTheScience.org” continue to press the lies that ethanol and other alternative fuels are a danger to us. SEE: Gasoline Whores Try Once Again to Derail American Energy Independence.
