Obama just for starters will give 845 Billion dollars away from Americans who need help now to Africans! Then he plans to help other countries for their Global Economy. All of this can be verified by looking up Obamas "GLOBAL POVERTY ACT", for Africa! Come on now is it not a good thing to help terrorist children today so tomorrow they can grow up and love us to death? Hey let our homeless die in the streets of America! Let our sick die of cancer because they cannot afford health insurance in America. Hey the people in America should stave to death so we can say we were good to help a terrorist child!

BTW - another thanks to whoever mentioned Shadowstats.com on an earlier article post.

I''ve been really searching for someone that uses the ORIGINAL STATISTICAL ANALYSIS - before the statistical manipulation to create LIES started.

He admits that his clients are mostly the wealthy and corporations that needed the REAL ECONOMIC SCOOP to operate but the charts and info he offers up free is an eye-opener that I''ve long known but could seldom reference.

I feel vindicated on my previous warnings and verified that this is only the beginning of the fallout when the FULL TRUTH finally comes out...
IF it ever does.

crude output isn''''t what is controlling the supply, refined output is.

Didn''t oil exec''s tell us just a few weeks ago that Refinery''s were only operating at 85%?? Yep I think that''s what they said but as always Sir Lies-A-Lot only tells those few that still believe them what they want to hear.

Chevy Volt (electric car) is projected to come out in late 2010. 40 miles, no gas. That almost wipes out my fuel bill, though I realize some will have to use gas (which it can also use). But a 40 mile round trip on nothing but electric will be nice!!

Thank You.

I needed the deep belly laughs my sense of irony has for some of the posts on here after collapsing again this morning.

Only slightly bruised this time. Laughing helps me reorient myself and clear the fog and dizziness that the VA has insisted is NO problem and isn''t worth looking into.

Makes me wonder why I wasted my life on being "patriotic".

My only worry is that one of those spells will hit while I''m driving. Oh well. Maybe I''ll only hit a NEOCON PROFITEER if it happens.

I posted earlier that gas in Saudia Arabia is selling for 12 cents a gallon and in Kuwait it is selling for 40 cents a gallon, not quite the inflationary price a lot of us are now paying.

That was basically my response to namesnames. He / she said that refined output is the problem, not crude output.

All he / she is really doing is mirroring Bush in his speech last week.

The fact is that big oil DOES NOT want new refineries. Several congressmen and senators - both dem and GOP - asked is they sped up the red tape, would they build new refineries. Big oil said "no".

So her / his comments are wrong - just like Bush''s were.

U.S. gasoline prices are ridiculously low compared to world prices. Time to jack up the price to $6.00 a gallon, force the people into hybrid cars, make car pooling mandatory, make vans and SUV''s illegal, and start bringing back rail service on a national scale. There, the problem''s solved and we just might start regaining some international respect again.

Carter screwed us when he derefulated gas and oil prices. What he was thinking i have no idea but it allowed the oil companies to really stick it too us.

Bush this or Bush that... why no mention today of the 38th anniversary of the Kent State massacre, the day our own National Guardsmen opened fire and murdered four college students? For shame, CBS... I expected more from you.

I am really growing tired of ''Republican Voodoo Economics''! They do this every time. Reagan did it and Bush I did now Bush II has it in the ditch again. His economic stimulus package aka ''surge for the economy'' is a joke! He has borrowed billions that my Grandchildren will have to pay back one day, running the deficit even higher so he can give everyone a check! For what?????? It isn''t going to do a thing for most people suffering from his failed economic ventures (several hefty tax cuts for the wealthy, two failed wars and a infrastructure that''s falling apart). This is really a brilliant maneuver???????? Only a Republican would think this stupidity up!

"Bush Defends His Economic Record"

Well, since he only hangs out with his base of capitalist oil and health industry pigs rolling in record profits on the backs of the working class, I can see why he would defend his actions. The view from the top must look pretty good. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette did far less to receive their fate.

GW Bush appears to like "surges".

I guess it reminds him of his cocaine snorting days.
