It's a sad day in the greatest super power on earth. Our President had to go begging the Saudis for more oil. It wasn't long ago that we supplied the world and they turned to us for guidance. Now the come to us asking for money and we borrow it from China and give it to them putting our nation deeper in debt than ever.

Our elites have squandered our wealth and our block the excavation of our resources to the point where we can't take care of our own needs. So the President of the greatest nation on earth has to go begging for help. Early in Bush's administration he lobbied for the opening of ANWR and deep sea off 100 miles of the coast and was shot down by the Dems. Earlier this week he again made the plea asking the dems to help him lower oil prices and foreign relations by letting us get back into the global oil market and use our own resources rather than sending our money overseas to people that hate us. Remember the Saudis are still mad at us because 16 of the 18 terrorists that bought down the twin towers came from their country (huh?).

There is really something wrong with this country when political correctness comes before the well being and security of this country. We can't drill in ANWR, it's a nature preserve they say. Did anyone look at the facts and realize that ANWR is 19,000,000 acres and drilling would only need to take place on 2,000 of those acres? Does anyone know what ANWR is? Anybody been there that is against the drilling?

Look, alternative energy is great but let's be real, it's decades off before it is reliable and cost effective. We have 400 years of oil reserves here in the US within our boarders. Digging it up and refining it here would add American Jobs and reduce the cost of Oil and create energy independence and stimulate the economy without borrowing $600 billion from China so we can buy Chinese products and stimulate their economy instead of ours.
