This is the kind of smoke and mirrors bullshit we expect from *
Earlier in the month, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory had their funding cut, and were forced to layoff employees. Now dim son needs a photo op to show how "engaged" he is on the energy front, and he selected this facility for a visit. Presto! Over the weekend $5 million was restored to the lab's budget. Wow, I guess he really does care about weaning the U.S. from the tit of his oil bidness buddies. Right.

5. Fake "Made in USA" cardboard boxes
Not $5 Milllion worth but the same type thing.





The woman on CNN this morning was super PO'ed. I wonder what the photo-op will look like.

6. But how long were they rehired for? Remember the great food stations set
up for Shrub to pose in front of after Katrina that got dismantled as soon as he left - screw the people, it's all about the photo op

4. Always expect the opposite of what they say
When bu$h opens his mouth, listen very carefully, if you can.
Then you can turn it around and expect the exact opposite. Everything they have done has been pulled in this manner.
