Also will he explain why it didn’t work for Carter but will work now?
fdm215- Newsflash!! It’s his stupid recycled Carter-esque idea, the ball is in his court. Put down the kool-aid.
Puller58- I want to know how he PROPOSES to define it, PROPOSE how much it will be, and if he PROPOSES any other targets. Better?
News is a Multi Million Dollar business I fail to see how they will ever profit from supporting Obama.
Can Obama get the US media the rights to broadcast to the Muslim World
Millions do obeisance at the Golden Calf of Wallmart and never question the faith.
Is it just a matter of Wallmart having a more deceptive Public Relations
If Big Oil had TV ads with cute Bunnies rescuing oil from the dark side, deep in the Earth. Would we change our minds and Love Big Oil.
fantastic money
The socialist Hillary and Obama both say that Exxon Mobil make too much profit. They want to take a larger portion of their profit and give it to social programs for the poor.
Seems like they need a lesson on capitalism: the more profit a company keeps, the more they can invest, the more jobs they can create, the more they will stimulate the economy, and therefore the more taxes the federal government will receive for their ‘social programs”.
State and Federal Treasuries “Profit” More from Gasoline Sales than U.S. Oil Industry

And yes, the “profits” Big Oil will reap are STEALING. Click on the link and read the entire article yourself.
TOLD YA the invasion was ultimately about OIL. How ya feel about all them Americans being murdered NOW?
“The US government has been involved in drawing up the law, a draft of which has been seen by The Independent on Sunday. It would give big oil companies such as BP, Shell and Exxon 30-year contracts to extract Iraqi crude and allow the first large-scale operation of foreign oil interests in the country since the industry was nationalised in 1972”

I have seen several “answers” denegrating the article, without attempting to address the issue which the article brings up.
Which is: We started a war in Iraq. We killed hundreds of thousands of people who never did a thing to us. We caused over a million people to flee the country — doctors, architects, lawyers, artist, teachers, professionals. And now Big Oil is descending upon the sovereign state to **** up big money.
You don’t see anything wrong with that?
Oh–and for the person who said the silliest thing EVER about “we built the structure?”
Gee….that’s really good information to have. I’ll think I’ll get on the phone right now and call this carpenter I used to date……and let him know he can MOVE IN right away in any of the homes he built over the last 20 years.
Idiot.
Thanks for all the good answers. Did anyone know that Hugo Chavez is also doing the same thing?

How do we get big business and government to place long-term solutions to the environmental problems the world faces ahead of short-term profits?
citizens of America to understand? yours “DINO”
I AM a conservative to be sure. However, i feel that the American people are becoming slaves to large corporate entities and big banks. I believe in profit. It is a good thing. I just feel that the big guys are ignoring us and doing just what they WANT to do. Am i wrong?
I do not believe that my political idol, Barry Goldwater, would ever want this environment we live in now.
