Oil takes a dip

Well would you look at that. . . . Obama says he may be for more off shore drilling and the price of oil fell under $120 for a bit. That and the hurricane missed the oil fields.

But I thought the Dems were holding up any votes on off shore drilling because it would not effect the price for at least 10 years? What is this then?? Is Obama really the god hid followers think he is that he can magically lower the cost of oil or are the Dems playing with the price of gas, home heat, and our very economy for their own political gain?

Now we finally have both candidates looking to get this fixed. I wonder if Pelosi will continue to try to get Obama elected and ignore the cost to the rest of us by holding off any action by Congress.

Gas is still at least a buck over where it was a year ago and polls show up to 75% of folks list gas as a hardship at this point. How is our consumer based economy going to keep going if we have to spend all our free cash on gas just to get to work? What happens when we can’t afford the gas to get to work??

I wish I thought Congress was worried about this but I really think this is what they want. They can’t stand that the economy had started to turn, that the surge worked, and that as inept as Bush is things were actually not as bad as they had hoped for election time. So the answer seems to be to put the screws to you and me and make it hurt in hope that we will blame the Republicans and totally forget the Democrats control Congress and continue to roadblock any attempt at helping us.

Folks the proof is there, even CNN noted the effect of Obama changing from no drilling to the drilling is ok option and how that has lowered oil prices. If we really want to see them drop, we need to get Congress to remember who they work for and remove the foolish bans on off shore drilling. We can not due without the oil. It would be nice to have cleaner fuel, but we don’t yet. Our economy can not take this hit as the Dems pretend we have alternatives to oil. . . . We don’t and we need to tap into what we can get until the alternatives are available. The mentality of the Nancy Pekosi to cut off our nose to spite our face by not drilling is only hurting America. . . but that is what she wants so I guess it is working right Nancy?

Time to start drilling

As I have said before we need to start getting to the oil we have here instead of importing it. This is critical to keeping our economy going while we look for other ways to power our world.

The Dems in Congress are doing all they can to block this. . . .

Here are the facts on our own oil reserves. . .

Foreign Oil

News flash. . . I missed who said it on the news report but they are claiming we could be free of the need for foreign oil in 15 years if we push for it like we did to get a man on the moon in the 60’s. Wow, too bad I have been saying that for a number of years now. . . . If you can tell me how to get us to actually do it then I will be impressed.
