jgoose71 0 #1 June 25, 2011 Aren't these the strategic reserves for national security? What's the emergency? Obama's poll ratings? And instead of releasing oil from the strategic reserves, that will have to be replaced, why don't we just drill? http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/06/obama-release-oil-petroleum-reserve"There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

That is why all the kids get a trophy instead of only the winner. what would be better is helping the kids understand why they didn't get a trophy and teaching them how to improve to get one.

The oil has to come from somewere and the enviromental effects on the planet are worse if not under our control here. getting oil from a third world country means less enviromental restrictions on the companies that drill for oil. meaning it is worse for the world than if we drilled here.

Simple answer - "you didn't get a trophy because you didn't solve the problem. Drilling until you have no oil left is not a solution." It is a short term fix to bring jobs and tax revenue to the US to pay for the new technologies for the future. we cannot spend ourselves into bankrupcy and hope things will work out. You are a perfect example of the short sighted left letting our jobs and money go over seas bankrupting the country leaving us with no money to pay for the changes needed.

I can not buy the raw product ( steel and aluminum ) as cheap as China can produce and ship the finished product . wake up America stop bigger government.

billvon 2,400 #25 June 29, 2011 >how can it be cheaper to build in china and ship here? People in China are willing to work for $1 an hour, and no one cares where the bridge is built. Change either of those two things and you could bring some of that work back. But to do that you have to do things that both sides object to. Want to lower manufacturing costs here in the US? Lower the minimum wage. Allow illegal aliens to work wherever they want for however much they want. Get rid of unions. Come down on Wal-Mart for selling Chinese goods.
