- Everyone is cheering the drop in oil prices,but there is just one problem,if gasoline drops again to below $3.00 many Americans will go back to their bad habits of driving their gas guzzling cars and SUVs and ignoring the advice to conserve energy,which will eventually raise the price of oil once again.
Americans are addicted to oil.That is about only thing President Bush ever said that I agree with. - Reply to this comment

- This is good that the oil price per barrel is dropping. A three-day drop is pretty significant.It is also good to see the stocks rally.Believe it our not this is the time to start investing in the stock markets. Look at GM their stocks are worth about $6.26.

1. His: The stock market is up. Mine: It''s a one day rise of +200 points, it''s down 3,000 points from it''s high! No reason to celebrate!
2. His: Oil prices are down $15 per barrel in just 3 days. Mine: The price per gallon hasn''t dropped a penny where I''m at! The decline is meaningless.
3. His: The surge has worked in Iraq, and the last brigade of the surge is coming home in days. Mine: The insurgents are taking payoffs, and will start up again when they''re ready! The brigade will be sent to ''stan or home for a short rest first!
4. His: What will the liberals find to whine about? Mine: Plenty! With continued opportunities! Is this the best neocons have to BRAG about?! PATHETHIC!
5. His: I''''m sure they''''ll make up something... Mine: They don''t have to, Bush/GOP constantly gives them reason to object! But, the neocons will contrive some phony accusation!
In short, we have the wishful thinking versus reality dichotomy here! The neocons in Bizarroland, and me in the declining ole USA! Ain''t in grand, though?! - Reply to this comment
- Hooray!!! Bush has lowered oil prices by lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling. The ban on offshore drilling was signed into law by that evil liberal hippie, Bush''s dad. Take that libs!!!

Uh- oh... Along with the decline in gas prices, it appears as though the neo-conservative supporter''s I.Q. has also taken a serious decline, and just in time for the upcoming election, too. - Reply to this comment

Currency and inflation risk has investors looking beyond their shores. We asked economists to rate the prospects of the G8 nations. Given the grim mood, they called it "a bit like choosing between deck chairs on the Titanic." But they found some differences in outlooks - except for the UK. Find their views below.
Can''t see this soap-opera going nowhere but down. This Wall Show is just a game of chicken for the rich elite investors. Mer & Lych is bailing, and Wachovia is being audited. - Reply to this comment

- President Bush''s threat on lifting a ban does work and OPEC didn''t want to lose the profit. Smart move! The sad part is that the democrat controlled congress refused to lift the ban on coastal areas just a moment ago. If the price went up, I blame the dumbocraps for blocking this bill.

- This is nothing but Window Dressing for the Retardds.
Dump your Stock Holdings now, if you haven''t already, before the Crash, because it''s coming down the road and no amount of Fed "Air Money" Bail-Outs is going to fix 7 1/2 years of Theft and Corruption.......
6000 or lower on the DOW will be seen before it''s over...... - Reply to this comment
- Money, money, money is the reason for the big swings in the market. The fund managers with large blocks and the traders make money when it moves up or down. Kickbacks? Under-the-table deals?

- Me unhappy with the Republicans.
I could stand them better if they were honest enough to quit spouting all of that bull$hit about how they are the party of Christianity and morality.
Between the actions of the recently deceased Republican Congress and this Administration it has become impossible for me to listen to that with "a wink and a nod" anymore.
They worship money. Mammon. The once almighty dollar, if they can''t get euros or yen.
And that is all. End of story. - Reply to this comment
