See the mainstream media still campaigning for Obama? The “Change” sign as large as life in the background and I’m presuming this “interview” is not at his campaign headquarters.

He STILL hasn’t said what he’s planning on changing (if he gets in), but just his ideas, like the gradual increase to unmanageable gas prices, are downright arrogant, inexperienced and scary.

All these politicians are just playing games by claiming that our energy problems would go away through more drilling in the states.

So, a larger supply would not lower prices. I did not know that Dr. Thomas Sowell was wrong on the law of supply and demand.

Here’s what I think Bush should do:

When Congress is in recess but the stock exchanges are open he should announce that he signed executive orders allowing drilling in all of the places where it is prohibited AND he is waiving environmental blockages to building refineries.

The oil and gas price drop would happen so fast that Congress would be stuck – by the time they got back in session, the “damage” would be done and anything they did would raise the prices back up.
