I know it sounds a bit "Obama is God" around liberals sometimes, but it's really just a strong reaction the fact the we seriously need to change courses. It's like half the country didn't even notice what happened over the last eight years.
Are you not affected by rising oil, food, and energy costs? Because there are a hell of a lot of people that are. Better policies could have avoided that.
- Yeah like not choking off our ability to drill our own for 16 years. I think we all agree we do need serious change.tommyo
- I hope he brings it. I really do. I'm going to go work on my own economy now - time to get busy!tommyo
- America doesn't have that much oil, and it's environmentally risky to obtain...joeth
- We could be living on mostly renewable energy by now if it had the support it needed.joeth
- America uses too much oil for domestic drilling to do much of anything for long.ETM
- Really...I'd love to see pictures of your renewable energy car. Oil co's kept that from being a reality and gov did nothing...tommyo
- we're stuck with oil dependence for a while. That's the reality. And drilling is not risky.tommyo
- "Oil co's kept that from being a reality and gov did nothing." Exactly! Gov should've done something.joeth
- Totally agree. We should have gone towards the technology decades ago. btw http://en.wikipedia.…tommyo
- I'm not as anti-drilling as I am anti-Big Oil. They're making record profits off us, and we're letting them call the shots.joeth
- I think all in all the oil companies are owned 85 - 90 percent by John Q Public. But yes, too much clout.tommyo
- Who says they have to sell the oil drilled here to us? They can sell it to whoever they want!DCDesigns
- It will help nothing, except for the Oil co's pockets...DCDesigns
