Then allow oil drilling where ever it is found, screw the tree huggers, after all they are only a small proportion of our citizens.
Pump up so much oil that the global price drops and the prices we pay at the pump is low. That in turn will spur our economy in to high gear, which in turn will increase collected tax revenues.
I would like to see the global price for a barrel drop so low that the Saudis declare bankruptcy .

Don't worry if China refuses to let us borrow anymore , I know our friends up north will be more than happy to send us some loonies.

We don't even have enough money to pay for those rich people tax cuts in the US. How in the hell could we come up with $4 Trillion in 10 years to support your rich people alone ?

Democratic Strategist: Obama Will Drop “Hope And Change” From 2012 Campaign Message…
For obvious reasons.
(NY Daily News) — Forget the utterly predictable spin from the White House – Barack Obama is in serious peril of being a one-term President.

That’s why Democratic Party elders know he has to hit the road — the low road.

“No hope, no change,” a prominent Democratic strategist with close ties to the White House told the Daily News, referring to the uplifting message that won the day in 2008.

“Time to make the other side the issue.”

If the 2012 election is a referendum on Obama, which is usually the case for incumbents running for reelection, he will almost certainly lose.

Even some improvement in the economy might not be enough to save him from 9.1% unemployment and the “wrong track” number, a crucial barometer of voter sentiment, in the stratosphere.

His campaign handlers believe that once Obama has an opponent, his numbers will improve.

“The President will be running against the alternative soon and not the Almighty,” Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley told reporters recently.

Smart Democratic money knows the odds of a dramatic uptick in the

Well, not the way I see it. It will be hard for republicans to push for cutbacks in medicare and SS, while supporting tax cuts for the rich.
Look at it this way, if UPS employees had to vote upon cut backs in bennies, verses lower wages for the CEO and big upper managment, you'ld think the empoyees would vote for less bennies instead ?

It's a no-brainer !

Heartache: MTV Rejects Obama’s Request To Appear On Channel…
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
(NY Post) — President Obama’s re-election campaign wants to connect with young Americans and reached out recently to MTV for help — but the cable network turned them down, sources tell The Post.

The president’s Get Out the Vote campaign, run by Buffy Wicks, concerned the high unemployment rate of the so-called millennial generation would turn them off to their candidate, asked the network of “Jersey Shore” about helping to supply them with ideas on how to deal with their, er, situation.

The campaign called MTV’s internal ad agency, MTV Scratch, for assistance in mid-August, sources familiar with the conversations said.
MTV Scratch, run by Ross Martin, former MTVU boss, and Anne Hubert, who was a policy adviser to Jon Corzine when he was a US senator from New Jersey, works across all the MTV Networks and helps marketers such as General Motors and Dr. Pepper understand the mind-set of young people.

The re-election effort wants to reconnect with youth, which were among its most fervent supporters in 2008.

“The youth initiative is having trouble with big donors and youth votes,” said a person familiar with the discussions. “They asked, ‘Can you tell us how we should be talking to them?’” one source noted.

Obama Rakes In Millions From Wealthy Donors, Then Claims “We Rely On Ordinary Americans” For Campaign Cash…

Then again, super-wealthy elitist liberals are “ordinary” in Obama’s world.
(ABC News) — Never mind that President Obama left California today with millions of dollars in fresh campaign cash gathered from hundreds of his wealthiest donors.

Obama says what sets his campaign apart from any other is that “we rely on ordinary Americans giving what they can — one grassroots donation at a time.”

The message is geared towards pressuring small-dollar donors to open their wallets before the end of the second major fundraising period on Sept. 30.

It’s no secret that Ralph Nader has held the Democratic Party establishment in low regard for decades now: the marginally more palatable alternative in an ugly duopoly, he claims, is still quite ugly. But lately Nader’s disdain has reached a new high. “It’s gotten so bad,” he tells me, “that you can actually say a Republican president—with a Democratic Senate—would produce less bad results than the present situation. That’s how bollixed stuff has gone.”
Not that he was ever particularly optimistic about the Obama administration, especially its potential to make headway on curtailing corporate welfare, now Nader’s signature policy objective. But in that, as with so many aspects of Obama’s presidency, the adjectives “disappointing” or “inadequate” don’t even begin to capture the depths of progressive disillusionment. Looking ahead to the 2012 presidential race, one might assume that Nader has little to be cheerful about.
Yet he says there is one candidate who sticks out—who even gives him hope: Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

Ralph Nader's Grand Alliance


But then there are others abandoning Obama for Paul in the last 6 months anyway.

It could be one of the most disturbing e-voting machine hacks to date.
Voting machines used by as many as a quarter of American voters heading to the polls in 2012 can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th grade science education, according to computer science and security experts at the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The experts say the newly developed hack could change voting results while leaving absolutely no trace of the manipulation behind.
“We believe these man-in-the-middle attacks are potentially possible on a wide variety of electronic voting machines,” said Roger Johnston, leader of the assessment team “We think we can do similar things on pretty much every electronic voting machine.”

This could open up a can of worms and give new life to old arguments.

Michelle Obama: Barack Deserves Re-election Because He Grew Up Poor…
Or something.
(ABC News) — First lady Michelle Obama says her husband deserves re-election not only for his first term accomplishments and vision for the future, but because of his genuine empathy for families dealing with tough economic times.

“He understands these issues, not just because he’s smart but because he’s lived them,” Obama told a group of 100 campaign donors at a $2,500-a-plate luncheon in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

“He was raised by a single mother who struggled to put herself through school and pay the bills. And when she needed help, who stepped in? His grandmother, waking up early every morning to take a bus to her job at the bank,” she said.
“Believe me, Barack knows what it means when a family struggles,” she said. “He knows what it means when someone doesn’t have a chance to fulfill their potential.”

The first lady said Obama’s upbringing has allowed him to identify with the stories of thousands of Americans who write to the president about their situations and speak with him personally at events around the county. She said those stories motivate him and influence his decisions in office.

“I hear the passion in his voice and the determination. He says, ‘You won’t believe what these folks are going through.’ That’s what he tells me. He says, ‘Michelle, this isn’t right. We have to fix this. We have so much more to do,’” she told the crowd.
