love it.
What now, Sir???
Not that anything he says is false, but if you’d ask me 20 years ago if I thought a US President would be in the position to repeatedly beg the Saudis to increase oil production, and would be rebuffed, I wouldn’t have said it was gonna happen.
Absoultely nailed it. Amazing that the same Democrats who can stand there with a straight face and say “We cannot drill our way out of this problem” turn right around in the next breath and demand the Saudis increase production to solve the problem for us.
The countdown to ObamaPelosiReidDaschle whinefest begins.
Foreign-borns,doing jobs Americans won’t do.
For well over 100 years the US, one if not THE most technological advanced countries on this planet, has been dependent upon machines that guzzle oil or its byproduct. The major producers of this product is in the hands of unstable dictatorships who don’t like us. Wouldn’t it occur to someone that there’s got to be a better way? Perhaps developing machinery that doesn’t use one drop of this product. Are all of our scientists and companies R&D that slow to react or stupid? The technology is OUT there. Where is it?
Take all the taxes off gas and what is the price??
only if President Bush had been aggressive with these appeasers 5 years ago the way he has been this week, we would not be in the minority
And now we have Juan McCain to vote for, who also doesn't want to drill in ANWR...
... and probably won't push his Shamnesty amigo Uncle Ted to have an offshore wind farm in his back yard either.
The transition away from petroleum liquids will take 25 painful years. Oddly, there have already been 30 years of riotous economic growth while the eventual transition was ignored. The transition could have been done by now, no problem. But, the Apollo moon program, the Superconducting Supercollider, and the petroleum liquid transitions were stopped cold all that time and now we have 25 years of pain ahead.
The MSM is clearly America's biggest enemy.
It is long time we overturn this government, install a proper constitutional one the founders established, and hang those we throw out of this one.
Its our right and our duty to do this.
Oil is purchased on the world market at a price established by that market (primarily).
Saudi Arabia is half way around the world. Their oil goes to the closest ports not to us. China, Japan, India, Afrika, Italy etc. The further you ship a product the more it costs, that is why we buy our supplies from Canada, Mexico, Brazil etc.
We are our own worst enemy because certain politicians prevent us from isolating ourselves from the market and being independant. You know why! They want us to suffer. If we suffer they can help and that makes them powerful.
If we were independant from the supply problems, (We - The US) would be powerful and the politicians would not have any power. Since they control what we can and can’t do in and around our country we are stuck with being dependant upon their “Generosity”.
All true, and he already knows that we don't get a majority of our oil from the Saudis anyway. I believe get most of it from Canada and Mexico. I think the Saudis are selling most of their oil to the Chinese and Indians, who have become tremendous users of it in the last 10 years, or so.
