of dependence on oil, but I don't believe it needs to be foreign oil. I also believe that, while we are getting alternative forms of energy up and running, that we should also continue to drill, and yes, the caribou will adjust. I don't see complete dependence on alternative fuel as being a reality for a long time to come, simply for the fact that it will take a long time for people to convert their thinking as well as their homes and modes of transportaion to alternative means as those conversions can be expensive and most average working-class folks can't affort to just scrap their auto for an electric or hybrid model or install solar panels in their homes.

We are a country of excess, that is true, and we need to get back to basics like you said. Invest in American-made products, if you can find them, and let those companies who offshore production feel the pinch for a while. Supply and demand is the only way we are going to get offshored jobs back on our shores. If we demand American-made, then companies who offshore will have no option but to restructure or die.

Most of the scientists who try to "debunk" global warming are not climatologists.

4 year degree in journalism
SP has a 4-year degree in Journalism from the University of Idaho. Makes for some pretty interesting foreign policy, eh? At least O is an attorney, a graduate of HARVARD and knows LAW. If SP had a clue about law, she wouldn't be in so much trouble all the time for ABUSE OF POWER. Bring on Palingate!!!!

I voted for him and I have a 4-year degree
Guess I'm not so "uneducated" then, right?

He is the best thing that has happened to this country in a very long time and if people would take off their party-colored glasses they would see that.

Sorry you don't like him, but he is going to be around for a very long time, so you better get used to him. 8 years is a long time to choke on bile.

A degree or life experiences surely

Obama received his undergraduate degree from Columbia...sm
and his LAW degree magna cum laude from Harvard. He did go to Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years. He then transferred to Columbia University in New York, graduating in 1983 with a degree in political science. Hope that explains it.
