It's That Time Again !!

Thats right the time is again, what time you may ask. It is time to choose a new Commander & Chief.

Will it be our current Commander & Chief President Obama or His Opponent Mitt Romney.

Now I am not trying to tell anyone who to vote for, I am hoping that you are old enough to make up your own mind an do what is best for you and your family.

I know that there were a lot of promises made, by our current President, as well as there are a butt load of promises being made by our President want to be, but let's first face the facts, all politician make promises that they can not keep and or do not expect to keep, of for some reason or another the promise that was made just cannot be kept.

Back in the 2008 election year President Obama ran on the platform of change, maybe if you read my blog on Has Change Really Happen Mr. President I touched on some of the topics that I thought people were talking about like the Economy, Killing Bin Laden, and Unemployment. But I do believe that some change has come. Don't You?

Riddle me this: If you follow this link Layoffs you will see that at the present time even though the Unemployment rate is still high things are getting better, what has Romney done, but continue to say, nothing has changed, but obviously something has changed right, but nobody is saying good job Mr. President, and lets keep it going.

President Obama, gave the go ahead to kill and destroy Public enemy #1, which not only got ride of Bin Laden, but also gathered some vital intelligence on others in the his organization, but after all that Romney still is saying that he has Obama has failed us, but he did not fail here, or was it just a figment of our imagination? Didn't this help lead to the #2 man,I wonder?

Now the economy, is still bad, I mean lets face it, the majority of us voted for the Bush that got us in this situation in the first place, and after his first four years, we should have just sent him on his way, but you voted him back in any way, and now look at where it has us. 

President Obama cannot change this over night, and damn sure not in four years, but I guess you think that he is or was our messiah, and with a snap of his finger or a wave of his hand that this would all change, but it just cannot happen that way. When I voted in 2008 yes for Obama, I was not looking for a Saviour,I have one already My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, when I voted, I voted for a President and or Commander & Chief that I thought would be the right man for the job, and I still do!

So when you make you choice this November, just do me a favor and take time to weigh your options. You cannot talk about it if you do not: Rock The Vote

 

Gas Still going up

Today I went to my local gas station to, of coarse get some gas for the old truck so I may get back and forth to work, and low and behold he cost of gas has risen again.

Gas went from $3.83 a gallon to $4.03, not to mention much higher in other places here where I live in West Virgina.

What is a person to do, I mean you have to get to work to pay the bills, as well as keep and maintain your house hold right,  but at the rate things are going if you don't have a scooter, that can run a week on one full tank of gas then you are short.

I do not understand how we are suppose to live in the greatest, wealthy, and most technologically advance country in the world, and yet we are constantly being lead around by our short hairs for lack of a better term!

How is it that every other country that we either help or align ourselves with have a better chance of getting along with their daily lives and continue to function in their everyday lives without even a hiccup, but yet we continue to help them long after the fact and our cost goes up.

I think that it is time to strike and tell our politicians that they need to start thinking about us more and leave well enough alone for right now.

Cost of Gas is On the Rise Again

I remember when I was growing up, gas was only $1.50 cents per gallon on average, of coarse this was close to 20 to 30 years ago, when I was around 8 or 9. Man you could fill your tank, and it seems like you could drive for days.

    Then as I got older and became a family man, prices rose a little, but now as much as it seems today. At the time I was married to my first wife, and living in North Carolina, I would take my wife and we would visit her family in Georgia. I would take 95 south all the way, and there was this little mom and pop, gas station right across the South Carolina and Georgia border that we'd always stop at where gas was always cheaper than all the other stations around.

   Well that has long since past and I would assume that with the current economy that station is out of business now along with a lot of other mom and pop stations.

   What I do not understand is that if we are the richest, as well as most technological nation in the world then, aren't we smart enough to start using our own petroleum that we are gathering, that way we can begin to support our selves rather than others.

     It is estimated that back in 2010 the U.S. was consuming close to 19,150,000 barrels a day according to CIA-The World Fact, and it seems to me if we are utilizing so much, then we should not have to pay the most for it. What do you think?

   According to the EIA (Energy Information Administration) "About 49% of the petroleum consumed in the US was imported. But now where did it explain were the other 51% comes from. Aim I missing something here?

   Now I do understand The Law Of Supply and Demand, the greater the supply the lower the demand, and vice versa. But since we are the ones that are demand more, should we have to pay the highest price, and if so the since the other countries are demanding less, why are they paying less? 

  We have came a long way in the last 30 years that I can remember, with things like the Internet, cell phone, hybrid cars, and war drones, etc. Why is that since we are suppose to be the most Technologically advance country in the world figure out how to lower our Dam Gas Prices?
