So throwing money at something that is broken is the way to fix it? Wrong. We have been dumping money into schools for decades and it does not work.
Money is only a small part of it...if the classrooms are updated with the latest material needed to succeed, then it all falls back on the teachers and students themselves and parents to make the child or young adult succeed. Ultimately it comes down the individual.
As for this "new energy" crap that is being spewed by the media (cough GE - parent company of NBC) is all about money. Cap and trade is a bullshit tax that would make our electric bills - everyone\'s electric bill go through the roof by artificially inflating the cost. Obama is rewarding GE/NBC for supporting him throughout the primaries and the general election by trying to get this bill passed so they can make more money.
This is the same kind of nonsense T. Boone Pickens was pedeling last year with his stupid commercials. He invested heavily in solar, natural gas and wind and wanted everyone to jump on his bandwagon. The same applies for the unholy alliance of Obama and GE.
Like i stated earlier...don\'t bitch and moan when gas prices go back up to $4.00 a gallon. I think it\'s only a plus for us to have new technologies, that\'ll lessen our dependence on foreign oil. When we were going thru those outrageous gas prices last summer....i saw that there were cars that were using natural gas to run their vehicles (and it was considerably cheaper than gas prices at the time)...maybe the tech is expensive now, but there\'s always the possibly that it\'ll cheapen with further research. That\'s just one example, but who\'s to say that these new techs might impact the industry in a way that\'ll strengthen our techological savvy in the world and lessen our dependence on some level of foreign oil?
Never has a president relied so much on one. It is almost like every morning someone has to download the talking points of the day into him.
True, but when you take away his teleprompter he is an complete disaster. Most other Presidents could actually speak publicly in front of the nation sans a teleprompter and not look like a complete fool, I\'m still waiting for that moment from Obama.
Have you seen his recent town meeting that he just gave? The guy takes questions and takes nearly 5-7 minutes to break down the question and give clear and complete answers. Obama owned McCain during the presidential debates and it showed that he needed no teleprompter to shine.
Who cares what a CEO drives? I don\'t. When did Venezuala become our ally clips? How about Iran? The guy is way out of his league on the world stage. Just ask Gordon Brown how those DVD\'s are working out that Obama gave him considering he can\'t even play them due to regional formatting, not to mention Brown is half blind. Obama is a disgrace.
I don\'t care what he drives...but image is everthing, and pulling up to the ford company parking lot in your lexus is hypocritical on an insane level. And who stated that Venezuala was our ally? He only went down there to warm relations with the leaders down there, but he also stated that it wasn\'t a one way street...those folks have to make concessions and do some things that we would like to see before we act on anything.
