valid idea animal...but motorized transport (petroleum-based) is much more fun than horse & cart...and whose to say an asteroid won't hit our planet tomorrow and we left all that fun on the table?  Nothing gold lasts...Life lesson 101

Everybody on here has a tendency to overcomplicate matters.  Here it is folks, Economics 101- if you own an apple cart here in the U.S. (domestic oil & gas) and you find out you can sell your apples overseas for 10x what you can get at your local roadside operation, what are you gonna do?  Right, you're gonna make a pr...more

true...but if you had an apple cart and could sell your apples overseas for 10x what you can get at your roadside cart what are u gonna do?

Oil & Gas and Finance are the (2) mainstream economic engines of this country right now...otherwise it would be even more bleak.

B.O. is simply bad for business...unless it's a publicly funded business model.  He's never done sh*t as far as owning / operating a successful business but yet is worth many times his his net worth at the beginning of his presidency...hmmmmm???

and then the Lefties come back with prior wasteful spending from the other side of the aisle as if to justify this administration's unequivocal failure?  I guess two wrongs do make a right?  Wake up, our debt is at the highest level in history and has been since B.O.'s inception...is it his economy yet or does he still...more

I cannot help but think B.O. has boiler rooms of students without jobs on his gov't dole...in charge of simply playing on the internet in hopes of swaying people to like him / his policy?  Where do you people live that his policies are improving your lives daily?

I would put Sarah Palin's job duties as Governor being more involved with fiscal and social policy over B.O.'s record on any job to-date...stop reveling in being so damn stupid!
