I'm at a lost to think that people really think that she would even come close to be a good president. I'm totaly upset, but we all pay the price afterwards, remember Bush.

This speech is another example why I think Obama should be our President. I learned that we should no dwell on what people think of us just because of the color of our skin, but rather concentrate on ways to improve our lives for prosperity. If we don't learn something about being a better person from this speech, then there is truly no hope for some.

A more Perfect Union!

Well, looks like Obama has won the democratic competition. But Hillary is not giving up, she is still running. She is an ambitious and selfish person. She has wasted millions of dollars in this contest and she is not going back home with her hands empty... Besides, she made all kind of promises to Bill and their rich contributors...What she wants?

I just hope Obama does not pick her for VP (she has the Willie baggage), but the Hispanic vote and the working class needs to support Obama.

Can somebody please slap hard this lady in the face?
To bad that she invested so much money in the race and that she and Bill had all these dreams of making money in the White House, but she needs to realize that her greed for power is dead...
The Clinton administration was terrible for working people. Clinton approved NAFTA to please his Republican friends and his corporate friends...
She needs to wake up and realize that the people is tired of Democrat administrations pushing anti-working people policies...
If she gets the VP, the Clintons will be running the show in DC...

China? The world's second-biggest oil-consuming nation, who just recently unexpectedly raised gasoline and diesel prices by at least 18 percent and increased power tariffs to rein in energy use, potentially driving up inflation. China's first price hike in eight months comes after little progress has been made toward its long-stated goal of raising energy prices to reflect higher costs and encourage greater efficiency.

If we resort to offshore drilling as the solution to the gas prices, the only ones that will continue to profit will be the huge US gas companies who profited almost 40 billion (Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. posted the largest annual profit by a U.S. company—$39.5 billion) in dollars last year while the consumers got screwed. Try the competing fortunes of General Motors on for size. George Bush and John McCain are like the executives of GM, living only in the present, catering to their customer's worst impulses in pursuit of maximizing profit in the short term. The truth is offshore drilling will not lower gas prices, it will only make these US companies wealthier, with no real hope that new offshore oil development would reduce the current spike in gasoline prices. Such oil development would take years to show meager results.

We need a long term solution, a solution that will give us energy independence, and thinking about the long term? Where does prudence reside -- in attempting to shave a few pennies off of gas prices now, or on planning on how to cope with high gas prices for the foreseeable future? Reducing America's dependence on foreign oil will take a lot more than more drilling offshore—it will require conservation, use of alternative fuels (Electric, solar etc, , , ) a technology that already exists today, right now.

Why hasn't this technology been improved as a source of energy to move us out of slavery from fossil source of energy? Very simple, because the powers to be who control our decision makers on the hill, like the Bush family has done, have profited in millions of dollars from the oil industry.

Wake up, read between the lines and don’t conform to the status quo.
Now in the mean time, while we sort out our best course of action to curve the gas prices, fill it up and join us at Jemez this weekend.
