Last night's speech.

Soo... I figure someone would have asked already. What did you all think?

I wasn't sold since I learned more about what is being done from the Discovery Channel's "Disaster in the Gulf" documentary.

Morfoot, you remind me of how I probably sounded when W was pres.

Just another datapoint why senators typically make lousey executives.

Are they going to shut the oil rigs down for 6 months? Billy, you think they can convert those rigs to wind power? Seems like they could put a giant turbine on each rig.

Goverment told him to "Drill Baby", "Drill Baby"!! Even when they saw the gurgle..

There next plan was to sink a bunch of ol boats to keep it away from LA.. Dumb asses!

Next speech he gives take a drink for every time he says any of the below.

"Let me be clear"
"Comprehensive Reform"
"Working Families"
"Some may say"
"Workers"
"I am totally committed"
"Make no mistake"
"Long before I took office"
"Inherited"
"Take on big (insert industry)"
"Must act..."

I am in for that.. But you are forgetting one... "I am tired"

it was him or MCcain, and as Bin Laden stated he is the same kinda Moron as Bush, and what happened is exactly what I wanted to happen....make your country go broke just like i did with Russia....btw, they kicked Russia's ass to.
If MCcain was the Pres, his biggest adviser would be Bush and neither one of those knuckleheads would do whats best for the country...they started the snowball and threw in a blackman and he is taking the sht for it, Having Obama in there (which I am in no means a big fan of his) merely broke up the Monopoly in Washington. to this day, there is no reason to be in Afghanistan burning up billions, there was no reason to go after Saddam, that country is still in turmoil and will be 10,000 years from now....I really think things were better over there with Saddam in power, he wasn't even a household name until he stepped into Kuwait to control oil, we find excuses to go into other countries to cause turmoil, as with the towers, Bin Laden knew that would pull us into a situation and cause disruption over here. as i said before they tried bringing the towers down in 1993 and Clinton had Bin Laden in his cross hairs and was told to back off.
Its not always what we think, it always what were programmed to think, we create hate to justify a situation.
I think when all is done and said this oil problem is going to bankrupt BP

I happened to read a brief on CNN the other day about Obamas speech which stated that it was written at a 10th (about 9.8) grade level which would probably preclude most Americans from understanding the concept of the speech. As stupid as that sounds, it is in line with what I worked with in a high school math class everyday where everything was written at about a 7.5 vocabulary grade level. The irony for me was that after 35 years in a classroom I never had a father complain to me personally about how hard the work was for their child, mothers were horrible for trying to protect their children from a less than excellent grade, and more than not administration gave in to change the grade. I was never surprised at how we graduated children who could not read after trying to please these mothers who wanted their children to feel good about themselves rather than be educated.

BP is done and so is Cameron.. I would have to agree on that..

Yet again, he voted present!

omh, people are adaptable, truck sales, Hummer sales slumped, when gas hit 4 bucks a gallon...you adapt, personally i think gas should be 7.00 bucks a gallon, the demand for oil would decrease and i really think we wouldnt be so waisteful, there is only so much to go around and we depend and defend to ensure the price stays where its at. that 2 bucks a gallon keeps our taxes high because of the paid protection and alliances we have with oil producing countries. we protect and control. everybody answers to somebody no matter how high up the food chain, we protect countries such as Israel and did you ever wonder why?
it seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel and personally i feel things are better than they were 2 years ago

Eric, I have to agree with you on one point. We are definately better off than we were back in 2008 when the market tanked and the depression/recession hit all of our industrys. While things are in no way good, they are off of the bottom that we were at.At my job we have hired workers back and are no longer in a big time money losing situation every month.Don't know who the right man is that can take this country and its people back to where we once were. No matter who is in charge the opposition will always be boisterous. When the next election comes we will make another decision and I hope we keep moving forward. We need to get this country back to work and prosperous again.More money in our pockets means more transmission repairs at your shop.

Yea we adapted, but know things are even rougher. The company I worked for laid me and a bunch others off in March. Well I thought I would find the same pay no probs. Boy, was I wrong..
When someone finally chose to call me, 2 months later in May, the best I could find was 12hr.. Now I have to addapt and can not do anything stupid, no extra trips, stay at the house and drink beer and enjoy the LCD television a little more. Cant go to the lake as much anymore.Things are just tough for everyone, and even Companies know have had to cut back on employees, and turn there focus on how they do business differetnly. But a double recission is not what we need. Get everybody working again, and quite trying to say we are doing excellent job creation, cause all this guy has created is goverment jobs. Boy that is gonna do alot for regular business people.
