Love ya man and the question is great - but if you&#039;re gonna go with the &quot;Hawaii&quot; background - why no Magnum shirt?

Also, you are no Obama when it comes to reading a prompter.  HAHAHAHA!

		<description>Great question; one suggestion:  

Everytime the quantity of imported oil is mentioned (in this case 12 million barrels/day), clearly state the amount of money transferred to the seller (in this case over $1.5 BILLION per day at $130/barrel).

I&#039;d also ask if Franken or Coleman would rather this money go to a company in the US or elsewhere.</description>

		<description>Ugh.  This is a bad indicator.

If this is THE Senate race that YouTube is shining the bright lights on that spells trouble for the GOP.

It was hard enough with Obama on the ticket.  It just got worse.</description>

		<description>This is my version of your excellent point:   

&lt;blockquote&gt;Gentlemen, thank you for taking our questions through YouTube. My name is Ed Morrissey, and my question is about energy policy.
Currently, American uses 20 million barrels of oil a day, 12 million of which we import from a variety of sources. Our demand on the oil market, along with rapidly rising demand from China, India, and other developing nations, has driven prices out of sight over the last two years.
America has tens of billions of barrels of its own oil in proven reserves in the outer continental shelf, another ten billion in ANWR, and at least 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the Green River shale formation. Green River alone would supply all of America’s oil needs for over 100 years without importing a drop.

    My question for both of you is this: will you support drilling in the OCS, ANWR, and in shale areas that will allow us time to develop alternate energy resources, create American jobs, stop the transfer of hundreds of billions of American dollars overseas? And do you support an expansion of nuclear energy in the US as a long-term, clean energy resource, as nations like France, Japan, and Russia do?&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Excellent question, Ed.

Just a thought: Keep your audio, fantastic job there, and maybe change some of your visual shoreline footage to project images of oil rigs and refineries around the USA, and particularly illustrate the SAFE AND CLEAN nuclear power plant functioning designs. There must be images available online for ready reference. 

Good luck, Captain!</description>
