On the gas price piece, while I agree that a sitting president cannot mandate lower prices, they can influence policies that impact pricing. The Keystone Pipeline is the perfect example, and we've been riding that horse all through this thread. By denying that project to hold on the the "green vote" Obama has thumbed his nose at Canada, giving them no option but to build their own pipeline to the west, and entering into long term sales agreements with China for that oil. While the output would not meet our needs it would make a big step to reducing dependence on Saudi oil. The people that say, "Oh they'll pass it after the election" don't seem to understand that there is no longer any project to approve. The source of oil is going somewhere else, so building a pipeline in 2013 and beyond is moot - the oil will be gone to China. Mandating increased efficiency is also a joke. Look at the Chevy Volt, which looks to every taxpayer to subsidize sales, and still does not work. Mass transit?? Sure, mass transit helps reduce fuel use in the handful of big cities, but the majority of people don't live there. We're a big, wide open country and mass transit is not the answer, any more than turning to solar and wind answers our power needs. I guess you were just teasing us with the first one, waiting to blindside us with another green weenie, this time compiled from a mass of misinformed talking heads.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
