  • How many people go to Central Park in a day? How about a year? How many families of four or even two do you suppose visit ANWR a year? We are preserving this land for??????
    I think it would be really interesting to fly Obama and his family to ANWR and drop them off for a week’s outing so they could experience it first hand. Oh yeah, there are no buildings motels or hotels or phones or other people to disturb them. Just some caribou , and bear, and thousands of mosquitoes.

  • Let’s make it really fair. Their is 47% people in this country that pay no taxes at all. The people that do pay taxes are broken into several groups as to the amount they pay. Let’s average it all out, and that would mean that the people that now pay nothing would have to start contributing, and all other’s taxes would be lowered.

  • Over half this country lives in cooler climates. Does anybody ever stop and think of how a vehicle is heated??? By electricity. Now lets talk about the range of an electric car with the heater running, and lets say we need to use the windshield wipers at the same time. Might make it to the end of your driveway before needing to recharge.

  • Every time Dumbama addresses this issue, he makes a statement as to how much oil the US used, and how much of the world’s reserves are in this country. He used to say we had 4 percent of the world reserves, and now he is down to 2 percent. Seems like half of what we used to have just disappeared.

    The problem with these figures, is that he is comparing apples to oranges. If we use 25% of the oil produced, how much is this? If we have a percentage of the total oil reserves in the world, how much does this amount to. It is enough to sustain our country for another hundred or two hundred years.

    What about allowing new refineries to be built since we have not allowed this in a couple of decades and are using old technology. What about getting the EPA and environmental groups off the back of the oil companies so they are allowed to drill in a timely manner, or at least force these issues through court in a faster manner so that they are settled faster and oil companies can react faster.
    As it is now, oil companies are being taken to court every time they turn around and it takes years to get through court, and then another suit is filed and keeps them in court years longer. As such, oil companies are moving their equipment and people to other, more oil friendly countries, where they can operate and produce their product and still make a profit selling the oil back to the US.

  • Our President is keeping a close eye on the rising fuel prices. You bet he is. This fits right into his agenda of trying to force alternative energy sources on us, even though the technology is not up to speed to support all the need we have.
    He has mentioned several times that we use 25% of the worlds oil, but there is only 4% of the world’s oil reserves in this country. (Today he said 2%) This is like comparing apples and oranges. How much does this 4% amount to? Enough to entirely meet this countries needs for how many hundreds of years? (There are new finds reporting that our reserves are actually higher than all the oil in Saudi Arabia.)
    We need to be drilling oil, digging coal, building atomic reactors and new oil refineries. It obviously will not happen under this administration.
    High fuel prices and all the other floundering mistakes he is making will be the end of Obama.

  • It’s time for all to wake up and realize that unions are not labor organizations, but are political organizations. There is no need to force people to pay union dues to work, especially when they don’t agree with the mission of the union. How about unions get the right to negotiate contracts with the people that pay the bills—-the taxpayers. Maybe we form a board of taxpayers that unions must negotiate with and be accountable to.
