I am sure you watched with such great joy and happiness as I did when the last of those 33 miners and rescue workers were pulled from a half mile down potential tomb this week in Chile. The Chilean government had the foresight and dignity to reach out and ask for help from the United States and other countries to avert a human tragedy--unlike our boy-king Obama who refused help from numerous countries at the start of the BP oil spill resulting in far more damage, time, and money than if he had reached out and accepted help earlier and fuller.
And as usual, the United States stepped up with the resources to save the lives of those men. The drill bit and drill mechanism came from 2 companies in Pennsylvania. The engineers from NASA helped design the capsule that the men were transported back to the surface in and men were taken off the battlefield of Afghanistan to help run the machines and supervise the effort with the Chileans.
But Barack Hussein Obama never mentioned the PRIVATE companies that produced the drill bit and drill and their capitalist, profit making ventures that allowed such technology and products to exist in the first place! (perhaps because they were not recipients of Obama stimulus money or campaign contributors to Democrats??)
No, Obama could only thank government agencies in Chile and the United States. Maybe it was an oversight, but more likely was just a purposeful or sub conscious reaction from a man that so vehemently dislikes capitalism and private venture as he does.
If we had to rely on the government of either country to come up with a solution, the families in Chile would be planning memorial services and pointing the fingers of blame at each other over the deaths of the miners and in the US, Obama would use the tragedy to push for the destruction of the coal industry and the passage of the Cap and Tax, phony "green" bill and take away another part of our liberty and wealth and succeed in killing another industry while growing a new government bureaucracy.
