The american cars industry problem didn’t start from the rising oil price, they started because the auto makers are less competitive than their rivals - mostly the corporations based in Japan. In order to sell more cars, and increase their profit, the auto makers need to become more competitive by selling better cars for less [...]
When Obama calls on Americans to save on energy use and to limit their fuel consumption he obviously demonstrates proper leadership by providing personal example of the kind of sacrifices he asks from others. This is why he is going to use, during the next months of presidential campaign a smaller airplane.

Guess who can we add to the list of hypocrite busy bodies? That’s right:
Senator Obama sends his own two daughters to the private “Lab School” founded by John Dewey in 1896, which charged $20,000 in tuition at the middle school level last year. Though he says “we” should not be “throwing up our hands and [...]

I don’t like McCain’s idea of subjecting ourself interest to some national greatness and I was worrying about the implication of such philosophy. But apparently Obama shares the idea that we are the servants of the state:
One approach to look at the soaring price of Oil is to blame it on speculators. Following the footsteps of Lenin both McCain and Obama using very harsh language toward the “speculators”. The reality, as usual, is slightly different:
To a large extent, this theory, if it is anything more than just populist capitalism-bashing, is a [...]
Oh, no! Obama might not be so bad as those who try to convince conservatives that McCain is “the lesser evil” :
Demonstrating that this is no mere spring fling, he has appointed 37-year-old Jason Furman to head his economic policy team. Furman is one of Wal-Mart’s most prominent defenders, anointing the company a “progressive success [...]
