Cheerleader, check out the jobless numbers that just came out. Get the big picture!
Numbers go up and down moreluck, thats the nature of the economy. When Reagan took unemployment at the end of his second year to 10.7% , it took 6 years just to get it back to where he started when he took office. Today, YOU and the other GOP faithful call Reagan a hero.
Today, with that same curve, you OBAMA a failure.
Oh wait, I forgot, I am suppose to forget about history and only concentrate on todays talking points., Im sorry. I forgot the GOP doesnt like to face its POLITICAL RECORD.

Lets start to deal with earnings for the big oil industry.
""AMSTERDAM — Royal Dutch Shell PLC delivered forecast-busting first quarter earnings on Thursday as it benefited from higher oil prices, and said it is looking for ways to exploit the current low cost of natural gas in North America.The oil company’s earnings on the industry standard CCS or “current cost of supplies” measure, which strips out changes in the price of oil, and excluding one-time charges, were $7.30 billion, up 16 percent from $6.29 billion."""

Chevron will also post higher than expected profits DUE TO HIGHER GAS PRICES.
""Chevron sees Q1 earnings increase despite weaker output
SAN RAMON -- Chevron says higher oil
prices will help push first-quarter profit higher than fourth-quarter earnings
despite a drop in U.S. production.
The oil company said Tuesday that it also
benefited from higher refining profit margins, lower operating costs, and gains
from selling assets. Foreign-exchange losses are expected to be larger.
Chevron didn't say what net income it
expects to report when it releases its first-quarter results on April 27.
Analysts expect the company to report net
income of nearly $6.3 billion, or $3.15 per share, excluding one-time gains and
expenses, according to FactSet. It earned $6.2 billion, or $3.09 per share, in
last year's first quarter. For the fourth quarter, it earned $5.12 billion, or
$2.58 per share.
The San Ramon-based company said the price
it paid for West Texas crude oil rose 9.6 percent and for Brent crude rose 8.5
percent from the fourth quarter. The prices that Chevron fetched in January and
February didn't rise as quickly. Natural gas prices fell.
Chevron said daily production of oil and
gas in the U.S. fell 2.6 percent in January and February compared with the
fourth quarter. International production -- which accounts for about
three-fourths of the total -- was flat despite a shutdown of the Frade field in
Brazil in mid-March.
The Frade setback is costing the company
33,000 barrels per day. No date has been set for resuming production.
Refinery volumes were up through

GEE, looky looky, they mention their OIL SPILL in Brazil as a shutdown instead of a spill... HMMM?

Who the company donates to does not concern me in the least. The company donates to both sides of the fence and thats fine by me. As long as my paycheck continues to go UPWARDS, I could care less how many millions they donate, so far, it hasnt reduced my paycheck and thats all that matters.
The company donates more money to my family than they already should in ridiculous overtime, but heck, I just bought a brand new 2012 Harley Davidson Street Glide CVO with all the extra dough they provide so I aint complaining.
Stupid is as Stupid does, and I cash the checks afterwards. Works for me!

Alleluia ??!!
I can't wait to see how TOShis way out of this one!
IF anyone is D*mb enough to seek out higher prices from a station ripping them off, then its cool with me. Today, I paid 4.03 for unleaded. Next week, under 4 bucks. Seems like some just cant face reality when it comes to gas prices going down. There are plenty of stations in San Clemente selling gas for 4.09 today.
You cant help silly.

Uhm, TOS? I don't live in San Clemente. I am not going to drive 10 miles to save 3 cents; nor am I going to drive to California from NY to save 8 cents.
There are hundreds of gas stations in the san clemente area selling gas close to 4 bucks today. By the end of next week, all will be under 4 bucks. I put in premium in my motorcycle today and I paid 4.19 cents.
If anyone is paying higher than 4.19 for regular in california, they are either not teling the truth or silly enough to get ripped off.
