Fact, the democrats took over the house and oil went up from 80 dollars a barrel to 147 dollars a barrel. Fact, it is the policies political parties have that control the price of oil. Those policies can ether reduce supply or increase it. Fact, that directly controls the price of anything. Fact there is right now in storage more oil then in the last 22 years and more oil in tankers off shore (then ever before) basically used as storage, and oil is still sitting at 65 and over. Reason for this is because speculators know what will happen due to the democrats placing so many restrictions on off shore drilling that it will make it impossible to drill. Therefore the supply will eventually go down because there will not be anymore new sourses coming from the US. Fact, The price of oil went down from 147 to 110 within a week of the moritorum expiring and it looked like the US would finally be able to drill off its own shore.
Fact, it makes no sense whatsoever for a country to limit its own resoures and make it more dependent on other counties for them. Here is a perfect example of your parties dumbass policies in effect; the USA cant even drill for oil in areas that the Cubains are, becuase off their dumbass policies.
Brad, those that said that did not realize how far Obama would go in basically rewritting bankruptcy law, to get what it wanted. Example how many bond holders with senior notes where put to the curb and in back of the line instead of being infront of the line (and by LAW) were they are suppose to be.
candleman, Who are you trying to kid here, he did nothing of the sort. I am sorry did I miss him say "I was wrong in saying what I said". No I did not and on top of that the man tries to twist his blunder into a victory and make himself look like the man that is trying to settle a problem he by himself created in the first place (because he spoke without a teleprompter in front of him).
As for the economy excuse me were have you been living the last 9 years when Bush took office we were entering a recession and on top of that we had 911 that took 1.5 trillion off our economy in a blink of an eye. The Bush tax cuts gave us the shortest and shallowest recession in history. Thats right the shortest and shallowest with a 1.5 trillion hit to the economy.
Fact the main reason for the collapse of the economy and the cause for the recession being so deep and long is the collapse of the banking system. What cause that? People that bought homes that could not afford them. Which party made that possible? Come on you know, thats right the democrat party. The CSPAN video is very clear who was in favor of more regulation of the banking system (Fanny Mea, and Freddy Mac) and who was against it. I'll give you glue it fell along party lines!!!!!! have you figured it out yet. Here I'll tell you, it was the republicans that were in favor of more regulations and it was the democrats that said, Ho no they are fine they are doing a good job. Greenspan warned them and the republicans heeded that warning and the democrats said F-you Greenspan (or as Barney Frank said the sky is not falling they are doing a good job they are fine).
You dumbasses let facts get in your way that is why you are dumbasses. candleman, and lloyd Handwerkers agreement with it, is a perfect example of this, they try to state that it was tax cuts that got the economy into the recession we are in without one example as to how tax cuts caused it. Yet not one mention of the real reason the economy is in the crapper.
P.S. The public school system sucks because of the people running it. For the money the public schools get per child, I can send my kids to a private school with much better stats and still have money left over. The kids also will know who the colonies fought in the Revolutionary War when they graduate, unlike public school grads. Candlemans answer to that problem is another 1,000 dollars per student for that question to be answered correctly.
