LINK: MSNBCSome Republican lawmakers have seized on the fuel's $26-a-gallon price, compared to $3.60 for conventional fuel. They paint the program as a waste of precious funds at a time when the U.S. government's budget remains severely strained, the Pentagon is facing cuts and energy companies are finding big quantities of oil and gas in the United States.
You elected Obama and now you know what four more years with him in the White House will look like.
The US Navy, under Obama, is now more concerned about global warming and “going green” than it is with defending the United States. We are about to gut the defense budget but our navy can afford $26 a gallon (bulk) for fuel while WE pay ~ $3.60 a gallon at the local gas station?
Obviously Obama has picked his “’yes’ men” military leaders carefully. If he wanted to test this out on the post office or other civilian government agencies like the EPA, I might groan about it but I wouldn’t be as outraged as I am over this because the US military isn’t supposed to be an experimental playground for Presidential politics that have nothing to do with national security.
