DID SAUDI ARABIA AND OPEC HELP OBAMA?

The soaring gas prices really hurt many people and businesses --at the same time we discovered we "needed" bail-outs for Wall Street, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac --and the stock market fell.

Yet, Iraq's conditions were improving, which the Democrats didn't want.

Enter Barack and his calm promises of change --while the gas prices climbed higher and higher.

And now he's elected and gas is under $2 a gallon!

Well, thank you, Barrack! Good job already!

Change we needed, that's for sure.

And you weren't the only one to think it Barb.

Larry Klayman, a lawyer from Florida has brought a lawsuit against OPEC for supporting terrorists and influencing the 2008 Presidential election!!

Good for Larry!

Economics 101 = supply -vs- demand.

If you go to bigcharts.com and look at the dow:

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=djia&sid=1643

You will see that it peaked in dec 2007, since then it has steadily eroded. The dow is a good economic gauge of the Nations GDP. Less GDP means less demand for oil, even though there was a lag in oil's response due to political instability (Iran) and the Hurricane season, Oil is now catching up with the economic downturn. Nothing to do with Obama.. that's just crazy talk!

Maybe it is --I admit the economy is incomprehensible to me.

But I really don't get the wide swing in the gas price from before election to just after. A huge difference.

I also understand that our auto industry can't compete if our labor AND management get paid too much to make our prices competitive with Asians.

Maybe everyone needs to do some belt-tightening to get through this recession --stop demanding 70,000 a year to call in sick half the time when not standing in the assembly line.

We need national right to work law that bypasses unions, their forced dues, their democratic party support, their bad attitudes.

But nowdays, corporate leadership have also shown themselves to be luxury seekers instead of caring about the companies and the overall economy of the nation.

Mudrake was deleted for duplicate post --which means spam. Also off topic. This deleted comment and my response can be seen in comments on the more recent "Thank God for Safety" post above.

haha, I'm thinking of writing a book called "Blog Wars; mano - a - misso"

Yes, Mudrake and I have a blog war.

But I've tried a truce --nothing works for him. He's miserable and obsessed.

It is interesting --if he were to enter into a gathering of Christian bloggers from here or anywhere, we would be nice to him and welcoming and kind --even though we knew it was him.

This is not true for him. He really does hate. I surely feel it. And I don't think he can honestly say he's felt my hatred in return. He irritates me with his bad manners and I realize he missed out on love or something --maybe it was loving discipline--because he has no manners.
