This is a joke, right?

Yea, but this idea is a fundamental philiosphy of his. Not just some imperfection that everyone has, that is not what I am talking about.

I think I actually said at the time that I was impressed with your change. I just wish many had the foresight to do the same. I'm actually glad I'm not on the road selling anymore even though my business wasn't hit very hard.

I'm not saying it doesn't affect me but we've made changes at our house too. We carpool on our short ride to work, take lunch so we're not driving home as much, etc. It's not a deal breaker to us but every little bit helps.

Yeah we stopped dining out except once per week and it has saved us a bundle too.

The strain that this dramatic rise in gas prices is having on American families is not made up. Its real and it is going to mean a lot come November.

I hate it, but think you're right.

Soros must be speculating hard.

Obama hopes so. Oil down 20+ dollars in a week. No wonder he can't be for supporting an "all of the above" energy approach. It would help things out and discredit his doom and gloom outlook.

Oil dropping could help Obama since it may lessen the cries for more drilling options.

True. But if it keeps up McCain can say look what happened at the mere mention by Bush of lifting the offshore ban. Also, I think bad econmic conditions help Obama more than good ones.
