ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer has a simple explanation for why the country is so reliant on foreign oil: Congress is nuts.
That's the assessment Schafer gave at the "Farm to Fuel
Summit" hosted by Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services.
He said Congress has ignored the need to become energy
independence because lawmakers are too busy bickering and too
worried about their own re-elections.
While the main theme for the two-day summit is researching,
producing and using renewable fuels, Schafer and Gov. Charlie Crist
also strongly criticized Congress for not pushing for more domestic
drilling as a way to reduce oil imports.

Yeah, it has definitely reached the point of over saturation.
. If you share values with the GOP, then there is only one choice.
. If you think more like a donkey, then you only wish you could go back and re-do the primaries. lol

I’m way beyond being ready for this election to be over ! After many months of hearing every thing about the candidates from their shoes to their hair and every thing in between, It’s all over kill now for me. I’ve made my mind up months back and now if JOHN McCain’s still breathing at voting time he’ll get my vote, shoot even if he’s on a respirator he’ll still get my vote.

True, true, true…....
. The guy is making me a little nervous. He doesn’t seem to have a grip on the important issues that we are facing at this point in time.
. If anyone questions his judgement, he pulls out the old race card and starts in with the double talk. I’m ready for this election to be over and I hope we are not all saying sieg heil for the next four years.

YEA ! put about 80 pounds of pressure in each tire and our inflated tires would almost be as big as his inflated ego.

Obama says if we would all just inflate our tires, the energy crisis would be solved. Ain’t that brilliant?
