Salvation was breaking out all over. But it wasn’t the Savior Jesus Christ, the core of the Bible message. No, it was something entirely different, but rest assured that we were going to be saved from the worldly evils. It was so comforting for so many to know that our problems are going to magically disappear after the next election when the right people were elected offering salvation are crowned. No more worries to keep us awake at night. The years after 2009 were going to continue to be magical. That’s a promise. Schazaam! Holy Moly! Gadzooks!

Savior Obama was going to protect us from leaded toys. He was going to work with China to keep harmful toys off the shelves by testing all the toys that arrive from the nether regions. He said, "The more toys we import from China, the more risk to our children," While lead in toys is a menace, China is the real menace. Not only is it a Communist country whose values are totally at odds with ours. Well now, that isn’t true. They abort babies and hassle Christians as is done in this nation. Our toy manufacturers don’t put lead in the toys, so wouldn’t it be prudent for him to promote domestic manufacturing. But wait, that would call for making the manufacturing environment more attractive by eliminating taxes, rules, and other government interference. He doesn’t want to do that since it would be against his socialistic agenda. It is okay to work with other nations but don’t you dare meddle with the Democrat agenda which appeals to the leftist supporters. We’ll just work with China to correct the problem. There is nothing like promoting other economies over our own. 

Then there is Hillary Clinton. She has the grandest promise of all.  She predicts, promises, and was sure that if she is elected president that oil prices would drop.  Schazaam! Holy Moly! Gadzooks!  Those dastardly fellows of OPEC will lower prices to thwart (she said foil) her plans to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Schazaam! Holy Moly! Gadzooks! Sorry for the repetition. She blamed President Reagan for "dismantling" the effort begun by President Carter to wean America from foreign oil. Then she said, "Because costs were low, people didn't care, didn't complain." As usual with liberals, it is the fault of the people of this nation and a Republican president, both of which having caused all the trouble.

Holy Moly! Oh, we said that already. The “Savioress” neglected to mention that under Carter the windfall profits taxes, along with environmental laws, curbed and stopped domestic production. When that happened, OPEC began to squeeze us with ever rising prices so they could drive Mercedes cars instead of riding camels. Besides, it was difficult to find a chauffer who liked camels. The lack of competition allowed the foreign oil producers to charge whatever the traffic oil sales would allow.

You can bet the fattest oil soaked camel in the herd that her solution to the crude problem will be crude. There are wind driven generators, solar panels, bio-diesel, and more ethanol driving up grain and food prices as it is doing now, tin can cars and trucks.  But you can be assured that there will be no domestic production of the abundance of crude oil geologists know is available. Earlier “Savioress” Clinton said she had a lot of ideas for the nation, but we couldn’t afford them. Her oil independency ideas were but one of them. One fact is sure. We could not afford to allow her to be the elected occupant of the Oval Office.

Yet, “Savioress” Clinton was right about Obama. He has proven that he isn’t ready for the big time. His toy plan is puny when compared to the grandiose plans she had for ending oil dependency. Not just dependency on foreign oil, but crude oil specifically. So take your Tonka Toys, Obama, and go play in the sandbox. A true savior is waiting in the wings. Besides, Tonka Toys don’t need oil, so don’t worry.

Can it be said that the biggest wind generator of all was the Savioress Hillary Clinton? Now it is Barack Obama.  It won’t be the joy of salvation, but it is the misery with Obama as the president. In Sorting It Out, that is true for all the Democrats that were in the race and for most of the Republicans as well.
