You know, I'm sick of this whiney Obama "we have 3%of the world's oil reserves and use 25% of the world's oil" line!
Good for us!
We're the most advanced nation in the history of the world. We have money that we trade for gas. With that gas, we gain a profit. Putting $30 of gas in my car is worth it to me. I'd rather do that than walk up to Portage and back. I trade my money for gas. Gas gets me to work to make more money, gets me to places I need and want to go. How is that bad? We pay for (invest in) something that we get more value out of than we pay for it. Awesome. That's how it's supposed to work. It's a win-win.
Drill now to bring up the supply, down the price and everything that needs to be transported (like food) is cheaper. The market works!
Yeah, we should look at alternatives to help bring that price down. I'm all for that.It's better for us. But to look at us as bad for turning a profit is crazy and tells me that Obama doesn't get how an economy works. He's inexperienced and can't be trusted.
People must finally be following Obama's plan to lower fuel prices by keeping their tires inflated. After all, that is what drives the worldwide commodities markets. What a smart guy.
In the first debate, Obama said he was for offshore drilling. Before that, he was for tire gauges and never for offshore drilling. His party is against it too.
What?
I guess if you're Obama, you just say what sounds good at the time. All talk, no walk. That's not "slick" at all, it's sick... sick that he doesn't know what he stands for. Look this up people - this post isn't "spin" and not a lie or anything. It's true. You can't make this stuff up. Obama keeps getting funnier and funnier. He's totally unelectable.
Ok, changing your mind when the facts change is one thing, but this is a big flip flop when you're just so blatently against something and then for it. He does not pander to what polls say or he does not listen to the American people - which is it? A President should know the difference, I'd think.
Well, the Democratic party is on vacation. Nancy Pelosi's out on a book signing tour or something but the Republicans have been sitting in Congress waiting to vote on a new energy bill. They've been there 10 days so far. I'm not sure if they've turned the lights back on that Pelosi ordered be turned off, but they're there - waiting to find a solution instead of wait 5 weeks.
Republicans are encouraging everyone to call their Representative. I've sent a nasty email to Tammy Baldwin since she represents me (technically, I guess - I don't think she really represents me very well or she'd be in there voting right now).
Another thing to do is to sign an online letter which will be sent to her. You can do it right here:
