Obama to Open Offshore Areas to Oil Drilling for First Time
By JOHN M. BRODER
Published: March 30, 2010
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday. ...

Obama is now obviously triangulating. I almost fell for this and started thinking good thoughts about the old "Bama" until I realized it is a ploy to support the bogus climate crap that his kind believe is true or believe is the way to getting rich on the backs of the poor without them knowing it.
Sneaky, eh?

05 March 10 - 16:00No real change in the lieing catagory....
Here's a good laugh for the thinking man. This if from ABC news blogs, specifically Jon Garcia and Yunji de Niesm whoever they are. Anyway, they quote Obama stumping for Michael Bennet, Senator from Colorado. Here is a quote from the beginning of the blog entry What a lie!.
Quote __________________________
Obama: Stimulus Stopped Possibility of Second Depression
Before President Barack Obama began touting the political bonafides of Michael Bennet – at a fundraiser for Bennet – he made sure to mention that his year old stimulus stopped a second depression.
“One year later, thanks largely to the Recovery Act, we can stand here again and say that a second depression is no longer a possibility,” Obama said, adding all the statistics about job growth (“about 2 million”) and economic growth (“nearly 6%”).
______________________________ End of Quote
The disingenuous nature of the statement is so blatant that it is hard to describe the amazement I feel when I read it. This joker (Obama) threw an enormous omnibus pork barrel bill at the problem. I think this way. When you shoot close range with a shotgun, something is bound to hit the target. What the thinking man (or woman) realizes it that if you take an inefficient solution and concentrate it enough it will do something. The real trick is to know what you are doing and take the sniper shot.
To say this indicates that Mr. Obama is very out of touch, has a lot of intelligence, but a small skill set.
More jokey jokey from the White House.

04 March 10 - 16:00Another from Lisbon in 1969
Every year in my old home town the river rises when the snow melts. If there is a lot of snow and it melts relatively quickly, there will be a flood. If there is only a little snow and it melts slowly, there will only be a modest increase in river level.
Here is a shot that I believe I took with a polaroid in 1969. The water is up. I don't know if there was flooding at the time of the picture, but there is plenty of flow over the dam.
The older house in the background is very old, it shows up often in old pictures of the dam. The ranch house to the right (it's difficult to see) was built in the fifties or sixties. One of my junior high teachers lived there, Mrs. Gottschall. She taught me seventh grade science.

03 March 10 - 16:00All dressed up
Marla and I have been cleaning up items we have had in storage. Here is an interesting picture I found.
Here everyone in my family is involved with getting their picture taken. Behind the camera is my mother. In the picture from the left is my Grandmother, Ella Armstrong and my Grandfather, Lincoln Armtrong. Following on are myself, Wendell Armstrong, my Dad, Dick Armstrong, and Charles Armstrong.
Wendell and Charles are my brothers. From the looks of things we are all dressed up and coming or going to or from something. There is bright light outside the window, so I figure photos developed in May with dressed up family probably means Easter.
This was a big year for Armstrongs. 1969 was my last year of high school. In just a few weeks after this picture was taken I will have graduated and another Armstrong man of no known relation will walk on the moon for the first time.
For now, it is just nice to see a family picture.

01 March 10 - 16:00First time on the wall
When I was a youngster going to school in Lisbon, ND I walked along the school hallways and looked at the pictures of the graduating classes. Each year my high school had graduated a new class, and there with them were the Superintendent of Schools and the High School Principal, their guides for at least the year of graduation.
For three years I had the honor of being the Principal in Neche, ND. Don't know what kind of a guide I was for them. but they meant a lot to me.
Here is the class picture that I presume still hangs on the school wall somewhere. This was their first graduation as a high school senior and mine as a principal.
"... Mr. President of the School board, Superintendent Wadoups, proud parents, relatives, and honored guests; these members of the Neche High School class of 1981 have met the requirements of the District Board of Education and the State of North Dakota for graduation from high school. I am proud to present to you the Neche High School graduating class of 1981."
