Oil is over $70 a barrel, FEMA is tied up with the hurricane, and the market sits where it was 4 years ago. I think this country is very vulnerable right at this moment. The EOM note really bothers me. It's addressed to me. I haven't heard from this clown in 2 years.
On another note, I can't figure out why we haven't dealt with Chavez. I think we are worried about a power vacuum if we "take him out." There is a lot of uncertainty about a "transition government."
OPINION...
Chavez is probably his own worst enemy.
To solve most of his problems; he should look in the mirror.
