Let no man say I wasn't fair

I keep getting behind on my blogging and it's getting a bit frustrating because I know I should do it but get caught up in other things so I know I need to spend less time on my Facebook account and more writing Here and finishing my novel.
Now onto my Title>
It's no secret how I feel about Obama, I dislike what He's doing and I'm not shy about saying my opinion either, I don't wish death on Him, I just wish He would get out of office.
Now over that I must say lately I have seen a few things here and there that caught my attention that were good.
Like the fact that He opened a new Nuclear Power plant and opted to go for our own drilling while we wait for clean energy to kick in a bit better.
Now I'm not oblivious to the British Petroleum situation and I'm not blind to what a tragedy that was and how we're going to be cleaning it up for quite some time.
Now saying that I must say that it was still a good call because we need it, I know most would question why I would say continuing to drill for oil after such a tragic thing happening is good and I can only tell you one thing.
Other countries are continuing to drill.
Do you think that we're the only one's who do off shore drilling?
We need to think about the cost of gas, Yes life is important too but think about the fact of how the economy would be boosted if gas was only $1.00 or less!
With gas prices down business owners would have to pay less for shipments and in return product prices would go down, we could go places and tourism would be up around the country.
What a positive effect low gas prices have don't they! :D
Now on the other hand besides off shore there are plenty of places that are land locked that have oil, as a matter of fact there is so deep of a reserve our grandchildren would have low gas prices through their lifetime also!
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking care of the earth and being good care takers, after all if we poison our own water supply what good would that be?
I'm all for new power and energy sources but at the same time I don't think we need to fret either about the scam of "global warming".
I'm kind of in the middle between making sure we are responsible and not being so uptight that we don't progress to make life better for people.
Getting back to what I was saying before I got side tracked, I may not agree with nearly anything He's done but I must say that With at least those two things He's been bumped up from a flat out F to a D- as far as grades go.
Don't get me wrong, He's still got a long way to go before I up His grade again for a while but still I'm giving Him a fair shake on that.
Now all He has to do is support Arizona and follow their example for Illegal immigration , cut back spending which includes NOT bailing out Greece and other countries!, Repeal the Social healthcare bill and the list goes on.
Let no man say I wasn't fair in my views because this should be proof enough that I do give credit where credit is due when it's earned.

Let me leave you with these quotes...

These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Abraham Lincoln

Fairness is not an attitude. It's a professional skill that must be developed and exercised. -Brit Hume

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
