Several key White House offices were involved with the Obama administration's messaging plans and other preparations as the collapse of the taxpayer-backed solar company Solyndra was imminent, newly released documents show..
[An Nahar] Tension with Iran and "uncertainty" in the region is adding a $20 or $30 premium to oil prices, pushing up gas prices for vehicle owners in the United States, President Barack Obama We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... said.
"The key thing that is driving higher gas prices is actually the world's oil markets and uncertainty about what's going on in Iran and the Middle East, and that's adding a $20 or $30 premium to oil prices," Obama said in an interview with the American Automobile Association (AAA) published Friday.
Obama also said increasing demand for oil in China and India was driving prices.
"As more and more people around the world see their standards of living rising, they purchase cars, they have demand for oil, that creates a greater demand worldwide and that raises the price," Obama told AAA.
Pump prices are hovering near record highs as markets worry about tensions in the Middle East, with Obama moving to clamp down on criticism of his administration on the issue in an election year.
Amid a four-state tour to defend his energy plans this week, Obama stressed that his administration has approved "dozens" of new oil and gas pipelines, but new drilling was insufficient to lower rising gas prices.

Iran, China, India, Guam, Hawaii, Wales, Atlantis, Rhodesia.... all to blame. I'ze tell'n ya, nuttin I can DO!
Absolutely nothing to do with an incoherant and scattered energy policy led by an administration bragging about the country being better off with $5+ per se gallon.
Gota problem wit that? Fill your tires and go buy a voltswagon.

Imagine the prices if somebody nukes all the oil transportation hubs in Persian Gulf. A single missile fired at, and missing, a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz would be enough to hike prices by 50%. Closing the strait for a month would likely cause shortages worldwide.
The state House of Representatives Hawaiian Affairs Committee on Wednesday recommended passage of a resolution recognizing Hawaiian nationals as a population residing lawfully in the islands.
It just brings more awareness to Hawaiian people as a whole, said Rep. Dee Morikawa, D-16th District. Its about everyone in Hawaii.
House Resolution 68 formally recognizes the right of Hawaiian nationals defined in the document as the authentic heirs, beneficiaries and body politic of the Hawaiian Kingdom to organize and restore their national government in Hawaii.
It also commits to the state government to encourage courts and law enforcement to stop nationality-based harassment and prosecution of Hawaiian nationals, defined in the resolution as lineal descendants of Hawaiian Kingdom subjects, anyone born in Hawaii or naturalized through a formal process.

The prob for Native Hawaiians won't be getting China + PLA to come + save the poi, most likely via PLAN Missle Subs for now, but getting them to leave.
Ditto for Radical Islam + OWG CALIPHATE NAVY iff they ever set up in PACOAS - it may not look like it right now, but they're coming.
You're either an American, or you're not. You're either a Hawaiian, or you're not. Period.

The Natives are having big problems with imported trailer trash. They do not have problems at all with being American, but there is this legal scope befalling them that is kind of foreign so to speak.

Not so, Newc. The "reinstituted government of Hawai'i" is a separatist movement. Shortly after 9/11, I was in a local restauant when i heard the local head of the movement talking on a cell phone about how "the Americans got hurt, but it wasn't his problem". I talked to him a bit later at a local park about he was trying to accomplish. I stopped listening when he informed me that only "real" Hawaiians would be able to own the aina (land).
