Stupid people with agendas convene to talk about stupid things

I don't get it. I don't know why I am wasting precious electrons commenting on the Energy Summit Obama convened. What dopes.

All these people were part of the summit. What makes you think any of them has a clue or is agenda free. We will never ever be energy free or engage alternatives when you have people like this trying to solve the problem.

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and
John Podesta, President Bill Clinton's White House chief of staff, co-chair of President Barack Obama's transition team, and president of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Moderated by former Sen. Tim Wirth (D-Colo.),
President Clinton,
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.),
Nobelist and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu,
Nobelist and former Vice President Al Gore, and
oilman T. Boone Pickens.

The stated goal of the summit was to discuss the policies needed to construct a national smart grid to support new renewable energy generation and transmission, as well as how to best wean America off of foreign oil. In reality, the summit was a made-for-media event designed to show the breadth of the coalition pushing for a comprehensive federal green energy policy. Other participants included
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney,
Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern,
Wal-Mart Chairman Lee Scott,
American Wind Energy Association CEO Denise Bode,
National Rural Electrification Cooperative Association CEO Glenn English,
Sierra Club CEO Carl Pope,
Owens Corning CEO Michael Thaman,
Robert Kennedy from the Natural Resources Defense Council,
American Electric Power CEO Michael Morris, and
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners President Fred Butler.

Now look over that list carefully. Very carefully. See any agendas? See any Payoffs to Unions? See any government as savior folks? See any political hacks? See any crackpots like Gore and Kennedy?

Where are the REAL experts? Not in this list.

It was just blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. I had hoped for more from Obama. Looks like it's business as usual.

Oh, and by the way, ditto for the stupid Economic Summit. Political Hacks and goofballs. Where was Warren Buffet. Bill Gates? Where are the smart people or do we have to put up with wackos like Charlie Rangle soon to be imprisoned crackpot in the front row.

I wanted hope and change. I didn't vote for him, so I didn't get it. Neither did anyone who did.
