Looks like our "blessing" continues!

Oh look. Another huge ego with hubris to boot.

I know its hard, but dont flatter yourself. The older women younger men chase are cougars, the older women who chase younger men are not called cougars.

$2 Million to go to Brazil thanks to Obama.

U.S. Export-Import Bank promised Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned oil company, $2 billion in loan guarantees to help finance lucrative drilling off the shores of Rio De Janeiro.

Source.

With all the oil we Know is here in the USA, lets fund drilling off of Brazil. Makes sense right? No it doesnt! They dont even have to drill here with the amount of finds that have been capped. What we lack is refinery cappacity. One also might question why we have so much of our refining cappacity in Hurricane Alley.

Why increase our refineries output when the current push is to go green? Because our infrastructure is based on fosile fuels. Electric or Hybid cars, the electricity has to come from somewhere, batteries are not 100% efficient, so the electricity is produced from fosile fuels. Speaking of batteries, if you want a hybrid or electric car, you support strip mining if you expect the end product to be affordable. What happens to the batteries when they can no longer hold a charge, they get recycled. Recycled into what exactly?

/Rant off.

Regaurdless of the above rant, how many barrels of oil are sitting under our feet? We are importing millions of barrels of oil and gas because we dont have the cappacity to refine what we currently have in the ground on our own soil.

Twit???? That's not very nice. Maybe the pot calling the kettle black.....????

And the "real" facts???? I guess that could depend on which source you care to believe.

BO's Jr press secretary should think about running for office. This guy is smarter, can talk without a teleprompter and off his cuff.

--------------------

I was thinking about how TK's political career would have been had he not been driving on that bridge way back when.

Then, I compared his experience being a senator with the current WH occupant.

Somehow I think the country was shortchanged.

Wow, fate can be cruel.

[COLO="White"]Ive seen your pic, you are no cougar.[/COLOR]

How did I miss this?? blue...you are wrong again...

The most commonly-accepted definition of a cougar is a woman 40 years of age or older who exclusively pursues very young men.

And I know how important links are to you so... What is a cougar?

And you are quite right that I am not a cougar...I am a happily married woman...but ...my husband is a few years younger than I am!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Does that make us cradle robbers...or comitted former cougars??

[Grace]

According to your definition of cougar, I don't qualify, as I was younger than 40 when Douglas and I started dating. As for cradle robbing, I don't think so.

I think it means we are wise women. When we find the right one, we don't get tangled up with what others may say. We go for it

This whole white text thing and photo-spying is pathetic. Grow up, man.

[smokey the elder]

Howinthehe!! did we get off the (once polite) debating on the theme of this thread? I'm just disgusted.

Anyway...my take on Afghanistan is that this is the only war we had any business fighting, because they harbored the criminals/terrorists responsible for murdering over 3000 citizens of the world. This war was IMO badly mismanaged, and only now is Obama making an effort to carry it out the way it should have been done 8 (!) years ago.

I agree with you about Afghanistan. However, those criminals have now moved into Pakistan - do we follow them? I don't think so.

I read an op-ed piece about Afghanistan by Bob Herbert. Link
