The U.S. Navy was just forced to buy 450,000 gallons of biofuels from an Obama-connected firm at an outrageous $16 per gallon

Uh.....burpy......how many gallons of gas do you think the Navy buys each year? Take a guess. Hint......the above purchase is just a drop in the bucket.

And aren't you tired of the imbalance in our imports/exports which benefit the ME oil countries and screws the US? This is a much bigger threat to this country than the deficit. I bet you haven't even considered that issue.

"a member of Obama's presidential transition team, T. J. Glauthier, is a 'strategic advisor' at Solazyme, the California company that is selling a portion of the biofuel to the Navy. Glauthier worked — shock, shock — on the energy-sector portion of the 2009 stimulus bill."

Meaner, not greener, is what the U.S. Navy should be getting. Spending four times as much for biofuels may impress the Democratic Party's environmentalist special interests.

But to Russia's Vladimir Putin, North Korea's Kim Jong Il, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other U.S. adversaries, it will be a sign of weakness and an invitation for aggression
