Over the years the democrats have always blocked these actions to enhance our own resources. I think the states that let their coast lines and land used to supply coal ,oil and nuclear ought to have the right to raise their price for out of state customers who refuse to take advantage of these resources if they have them. Let the states like california , colorado , the eastern seaboard and other west coast states pay $8.00 a gallon for gas and a few extra thousand dollars for there home energy. I am 60 years old and I know of one Nuclear accident in Russia during my life time. Now I have seen plenty of flooding and forest fires due to the enviro- nuts wanting to save a field mouse or a snail. Also cnn get off the "Black In America " kick .You act like they have had it so hard compared to the rest of america. Give me a break. Since the 60's they have had every opportunity in the world handed to them on a silver platter. It is time to wrok as many of them have done and make their place in America or do like the blacks that are whining, sit in the Ghetto or hood and draw freebe checks. I applaud the blacks who don't whine and fit in to america ,have jobs and contribute to america. I will not leave the white trash out either . Get a job or starve.

Some people say that the price is dropping because the Democrats are looking at the speculators. I think that its going to drop back to "almost" acceptable levels because oil countries fear that if the price stays too high, the US, under an Obama administration will look at alternative energies and Obama will spend that 150 billion dollars on alternatives. The oil countries do not want to lose us as a customer. McCain keeps saying that the price of oil dropped because Bush wants to allow offshore drilling.

Wouldn't it be better to actually question BOTH candidates when they lie about something? Clinton was asked about the sniper fire directly, and she said, "I don't know why I said that. I wrote about it in my book, and I knew what had happened. I was wrong. I only hope the American people can forgive me." Who actually has more integrity?

We have something that the rest of the world including Canada can see and yet we could let him slip right thru our fingers and actually come out looking like a country of idiots. The polls say that most Republicans are not excited about their nominee yet they will vote for him. Why aren't they excited? Could it be because he's not the man for the job?? Yes, but will they admit it? NO. How they could be so stupid is beyond me. It is beyond reality. It is just darn scary. We will loose the respect of so many nations if McCain is elected. It will be one of the biggest blows this nation could suffer at a time when we need to make a big change and set forth a different set of values. Maggie Muggins you are so right.

When Obama starts to travel because McCain taunts him about not doing it, he gets flak for it.

Is that why they're pushing for more land than they will ever need? We have tens of thousands of square miles of empty desert in the west that could power the US if exploited correctly!

Maggie Muggins, thank you for your post. After the last eight years, especially, we may be left to our own devices while we self-destruct, as the current methodology has been to act alone in spite of good counsel towards restraint, and avoiding working together for the common good. There has been egocentric leadership for too long. You may be right. There just might come a time when our beloved nation will be looked upon with such disdain for her mypopic, adolescent style of independence. Please pray for us to grow up to consider the ramifications of our behavior. Please get a prayer chain going that the world does not give up on this beautiful nation, and that we would make the "right for U.S., right for the world" choice in Barack Obama.
