“Decisive. Timely. Dead on appropriate. I can’t remember the last time we had a leader like this. God bless him”.
Hear, hear! God bless him!
The threat of it will have an impact on the futures market. Well played.
I’m waiting for a west-coast Federal Judge to issue an injunction against this...
Yes this sounds very appropriate and necessary. Good !
God’s timing
Waiting for Pisslosi and Smuck Chumer to respond!
Let our oil companies put out more if anything....that makes more sense. We’ll see what happens.
He's a people person. In his world, everyone is a bangboard. He's always looking for MORE information....and does a lot of pondering.
Watching the Apprentice gave me good insight into the guy.
Agreed. We could use more refineries.
How dumb is that.
