No $#@! right. Between NBC and the DNC nothing but scripted BS
I thought the best part was when Obama was taking a "tough stance" on Iran (which is really an issue perpetrated by wannabe Israeli traitors to this country). Onbongo was lying as usual and they cut to someone in the crowd holding a sign that said, "Arab Americans for Obama." Well, last time I checked, Iranians are not Arabs, so nice try dickheads.
I think my emphasis on "dickheads" last night woke my girlfriend up.
I disagree. I will also rebut with this. People who say that GWB and Obama are the same. GWB 5% unemployment over 3% growth and 2.00 a gallon gas.
Obama over 8% unemployment 1% growth and 4.00 a gallon gas just for a quick comparison
They are pretty much the same, but I will agree Obama is slightly worse. Under his administration, the crackdown on the public through the NDAA and warrant-less spying has increased, which is the direct opposite of what Obama said he would support. This is another reason why anybody has the right to yell "you lie" in his direction at any given time. Even the Liberal pulitzer-prize winner Chris Hedges admits this fact... we are essentially becoming the new Nazi Germany.
You can't compare the two situations. You simply can't. USA isn't an isolated economy and therefore is affected by so much more than just what the President does. Your Gas-example is the most ludacris example I've ever seen to why an economy is going bad and I've seen quite few due to my little hobby.
Gas prices have major ramifications for the American economy, that is certain. But the reason why the economy is unable to recover is because of banking fraud and Keynesian economics.
Oil is a global resource. It's operated by global suppliers through global companies. You open more U.S.-based refineries, your multinational refineries here in the U.S. sell it to the highest bidder -- which would well be China, not the U.S. Said companies are typically traded on public stock markets and are loyal to their shareholders, regardless of their citizenship.
This is how a global economy works, yo. There's no concept of "domestic oil".
It is all traded on the NYMEX anyway.
IF they would subsidize oil instead of welfare, then we would see a drop in price.
Not necessarily. Honestly, a lot depends on speculation created by the banks and the Federal Reserve. Money is so cheap to borrow right now that a lot of the high commodity prices are due to these rent-seekers the government sponsors. At this point I don't trust anything the government touches; they're like a bunch of monkeys hanging out in the Congo as far as I'm concerned.
