The Obama Energy Policy of the Future
Michael Ramirez with apologies to Jed and his kin
If American voters think today’s oil and energy policies are grand with soaring prices and the dependence on countries who do not like the United States, then they will love the “NEW” policies of a President Obama.The Democrats have blocked meaningful domestic oil exploration and development for decades. They have blocked the development of nuclear power plants. They have blocked the development of shale oil.
They have been good at regulation, taxes and demagoguery about oil company CEO’s.
The Democrats and Obama have stayed in the nihilistic past and will lead America into gasoline shortages reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years.
Just wait……

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 26, 2008
Day by Day by Chris MuirNBC news, including the Today Show, Tonight Show, Conan O’Brien, MSNBC anchors and even the local Los Angeles KNBC news are ORGASMIC over the prospect of Obama as President. They gloat over his candidacy and pan McCain at every turn.Flap guesses when Chris Matthews said Obama gave him a tingle down his leg that he meant from the top down.
On a blogging note, Flap continues to visit Las Vegas today and will head over to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) when action starts in a few hours (this afternoon).
Follow Flap on Twitter or updates are found in the right sidebar —->and check out his photos of the WSOP and on his Flickr photostream here as the day proceeds.

“I am 100 percent committed to doing everything I possibly can to make sure that Sen. Obama is sworn in as the next president of the United States next January here in this Capitol,” Clinton told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Flap and the WSOP June 25 edition
The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada June 25, 2008
All Photos by FlapFlap made it out to Las Vegas around 4: 15 PM today, checked into Harrah’s on the strip, ate at the buffet (naturally) and headed out to the World Series of Poker at the Rio Hotel down the street on Flamingo.The Rio from afar
But, inside at Event 44, the $50,000 buy-in HORSE tournament Flap said some of poker’s legends. Here are some photos:Huck Seed who won the 1996 WSOP Main Event
Huck was by far the most gracious and accessible of all of the players. He posed with many fans and signed shirts and programs.WSOP bracelet winner and WPT champion Dan Negreanu
One of the most friendly and sincere players Dan Negreanu is always willing to spend time with the WSOP fans. Flap watched him at an ESPN featured table last year during the Main Event. He busted out. But, afterwards, good naturedly signed autographs before he left. Kid Poker has already won an event during the 2008 WSOP ($2,000 Limit Hold’em).In this photo behind Dan Negreanu is Andy Bloch who besides having two electrical engineering degrees from MIT and a law degree from Harvard Law School finished second to Chris Ferguson in the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Bloch finished runner-up to Nenad Medic in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold’em World Championship at the 2008 World Series of Poker, earning $488,048.
2000 WSOP Main event winner and 2008 National Heads-up Champion Chris “Jesus” Ferguson
Chris posed for several fans. Note who is sneaking back into the room on the right. Yep, it is Gus Hansen.Flap saw many other poker greats entered in this event, including Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, Patrick Antonious and TJ Cloutier. This is a five day event and Flap will try to get more photos tomorrow.Stay tuned…..
