more pull on the government than the rest of the people.

currently there is no reason for the high gas prices...it is all politics and profitmaking

Why is Exxon-Mobile posting record breaking earnings?

Exxon Mobile posted a record breaking 12 billion in revenue. It does not cost as much as people think to refine the oil into gas. I believe in capitalism, however i believe that the oil companies are competing to lower prices. There is definate collusion and the government needs to step in.

your 11 year old is smart

Obama is mostly rhetoric- I guess he has to be. John Edwards told the truth about driving less....look what happened to him.

My 11 year old knows

I went to see Barack Obama speak at a rally in Austin, Texas with my 11-year-old daughter. At one point in the speach, Obama said that he is willing to tell the hard truths, he will say what is unpopular, he will not sucumb to the lowest common denominator of what people are comfortable with.

But, as we were leaving, my 11-year-old said, "He didn't really say anything we didn't want to hear."

What a balance it is, to be boldly honest and to manage to get elected at the same time.
