They’re spending our money hand over fist.
There's got to be stats on this somewhere.
With a policy like that, the U.S. could find itself in a security crisis.
*whew* I was worried that Barry might not be able to get his usual down-time for recreation. I’m glad he’s got his priorities straight.

Reps. Ed Markey, D-Mass., Rosa Delauro, D-Conn., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., sent a letter to President Obama asking him to open the reserve in light of world events and the coming summer driving season.
“As we approach the summer driving season, we must carefully consider all immediate options in order to prevent the runaway increase in prices that we saw in the summer of 2008,” the letter says. “We therefore urge you to consider leveraging the SPR to respond to these supply disruptions and combat the rapid price escalations resulting from rampant speculation in the oil markets.”
In Thursday’s White House briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney responded to the letter saying the administration has “the capacity to act,” but that right now they are simply monitoring the situation and discussing with the International Energy Agency what’s happening in the markets. But Carney wouldn’t speculate on what might happen if a further disruption happens.

Funny the things we remember. I will never forget seeing Gladys Knight on some interview show probably ten or fifteen years ago. I do not remember the particulars, except that racism was brought up and she declared quite adamantly “We still are not free”. Even though I like her music and even own one of her albums, that statement has always stuck in my mind, especially when considering the success she has enjoyed in this country.
Think her hosts feel the same way?
Since it is probably part of his or his masters’ plan, I doubt he will ever take any action to help with this situation.
