Gasoline up 100% under Obama

Exxon-Mobil is not even in the top ten when it comes to size. In fact there are no US oil companies in that category.

I stand corrected, However since all of the larger are foreign it still is on point, that oil interests and US best interests clearly are not in sync. This is why energy policy is vital to our internal security.

Funny how the left demonize the oil industry for their perverted profits too and they aren't really in the top ten.
 
I always wonder why Congress bothers to drag US oil company executives up to the hill every time oil prices go up. They seem to forget that most of what's going on is beyond those executives control.

On the flip side you have to wonder who's best interest Rep. Joe Barton has in mind when he appologizes to BP's CEO at the hearings concerning the oil spill in the gulf.
 
Also the TARP money and debt is because of the failures of the Bush administration, not Obama's fault.

The debt bomb fuse was lit while G. W Bush and Barack Obama were chasing broads in College! Look at the historical figures for Christ's sake and when you get done doing that take note of the increases in the last 10 year under Busbama.

Between the two of them they have driven the country to the brink financially. You just like Obama better because he's Big Labor's Butt Buddy.

The both of them aren't worth a pinch of shite in a manure pile. They are both Globalists and both have continued the global Imperialism and Interventionism that makes some folks want to blow us up. Hell thank God Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize! I shudder to think how many wars he's have us in. All without the consent of Congress.

Just do we clear up any misconceptions, let's take a look at the debt starting with Mr Bush

GDP ration for 2000 - 56.56% of GDP
GDP ration for 2004 - 61.97% of GDP
GDP ration for 2008 - 69.15% of GDP
GDP ration for 2009 - 84.11% of GDP
GDP ration for 2010 - 93.25% of GDP

In 8 years under Bush the ratio grew 12.59% or roughly 1.5% per year for EIGHT YEARS
In 2 full years under Obama the ratio grew to 93.25% or 24.10% or 12.05% per year under Obama.

Do the math folks! 2011 is projected ar 103%. No matter who started this debacle it's unsustainable in it current form. Even at the height of the war in Viet Nam we had a ratio under 50%. You think the cut backs suck now? Wait 5 years and they're going to suck 3 times as bad.

Who's going to fix it?

Obama has neither the balls nor the brains
Trump has the balls and the brains but not enough political savvy to pull it off.
Palin has the balls but lacks everything else
That leaves us with Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachman, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain and my guy Ron Paul. None of whom IMO will see the White House unless they sign up for the tour.

The two guys that could do it aren't available. Bill Clinton can't run again and Ron Reagan is very dead at the moment.

The only one who has any demonstrated leadership skills is Trump and if by some miracle he gets elected he's going to find out that leading a nation is not like running your own company in about 30 seconds.

Really who is out there that can reign in runaway spending, make the cuts required, revise the tax code to be more fair and generate a few more dollars? Who has the skills to pull that rabbit out of their hat while talking through their ass to get elected??

Considering he drove the company with his name on it into bk on four seprerate occasions I would say he's not up to the task. Being able to talk a good line of BS is not the same as being able to produce actual results. Something he appears to be incapable of. Besides, he will be to busy siezing the oil fields in Libya and Iraq.

People and Companies go into BK all the time. The interesting thing is his big creditors have generally speaking stuck with him. Remember I used to live outside ACY and an awful lot of the turn around of the city was Trump. Sadly it's still a dump and three blocks off the Boardwalk and you're in"Da Hood".

Right now Trump is looking like the "Cream of the Crap", So all kidding aside who would you pick for the task of righting the ship?

Were not talking about those people and companies. We are talking about Donald Trump and the fact that companies with his name on it have been through BK four times. And if a creditor is stupid enough to keep giving him money that's their own fault. How business leaders are given the opportunity to bankrupt a company four times? Donald Trump is a snake oil salesman pure and simple.

Him going through BK 4 times doesn't bother me all that much. I'm voting for Ron Paul and I may even do some volunteer work for Dr. Paul.

Look Donald Trump is a strong spice to be sure and I'm not sure there is room in the Oval Office for him AND his ego. BK's or not he does have leadership skills.

Since Ron Paul has little to no chance of being elected and Donald Trump is well...... Donald Trump, I ask again who would you suggest we elect???

Niether of the people you mentioned.

OK well now we know who you don't support.

I'm not trying to break balls, I'm genuinely curious! Hey if it's Obama I'll still respect you in the Morning! :lol: :lol: I, for one am unimpressed with the field.

To me right now we have 2 choices. The current resident and all of his flaws or a loud mouth Billionaire with a very bizarre comb over and more flaws then you can count.
 
Really?

When Clinton left office there was a surplus and things were fine.

Hate to disappoint you but it's the only answer I can give you at the present moment.
