It would seem the best method of making money is to invest in pond scum (algae) ventures. At least up till the time just before the government subsidies are cut off and the executive bonuses are paid. That's a hard time to figure out......

So, what car uses algae for fuel and lubes?

Lets realize fact here, And most of us live in the real world, and know this. This President, and adminsitration, cannot take any criticisim of wrong doing. The only thing they are known for, is taking credit, where credit is due.
When things are not going their way, lets blame the guy next door, lets blame Bush, sheeple will buy what i tell them.
I lack respect as i say a thousand times, for someone who cannot take blame when things are totally screwed up.
I get so tired and i am not the only one, with Obama's it cannot be helped, but so be it if this were someone else, he would have another story to tell.

Gas prices continue to rise even as we drill more, even if we're drilling more than we have in 9 years, even when demand is down in the US.

How should the Government step in and control the price?

Agreed. This country could drill every place that has oil and become completely energy independent but unless speculation is regulated, gas prices will not go down.

No, I don't want you to prove anything. I wish you'd stop trying to prove whatever it is you're trying to prove and just stick with the facts.

Those facts clearly show that oil production has increased during Obama's term. That is an objective fact.

If that were true then oil production would be in decline. That's not the case. The opposite is true.

And no, I'm sorry, I'm not even going to respond to links to Heritage or Fox News. Is it too much to ask to find objective sources?

But we didn't. Those of us with an opinion or insight decided to engage in discussion and delve into the topic.
