You're wishing it was possible to have Dubya for another term for more of the same?

I think I've heard that quote before. Oh yeah, during every freakin commercial break for the past two months.

THE ELECTION IS OVER. LETS MOVE ON.

I didn't like either of the two contenders however I am willing to give The One a chance to prove himself.

Having said that, I think it's wrong to blame one side of the equation when both were just as guilty. Don't forget the Democrats have been controlling the purse for the last 2 years.
Also the Fannie Mae fiasco was a true display of the leftist 'political correctness' run amok - "everyone deserves a house" has now become "everyone deserves a bailout" or is it "we need a bailout for the Wall Street AND the Main Street"?

You started this thread creep by saying: "...If there's one thing the US needs right now it's a new administration..."

My point is if you're gonna blame someone blame both sides please.

Crude Oil closed down to $46 a barrel today and I see the futures trading on the NYMEX down AGAIN! What a great tax break for the consumer as we head into the holidays! I think most commodity experts I have listened to recently do not see it going under $40-$42 a barrel. Seems like the same speculators that drove the price to $148 are now on the short side of crude oil.

Are these the same commodity experts that didn't see any possible reason for oil to go above $80 a barrel? Or $100 a barrel? :-)

Good point... , but similar to the housing market, speculators ran the price to a level that was not indicative of true supply and demand. Maybe they will run oil down to $20 a barrel... Who knows?

Still a nice little tax break for me and you for the holidays!

Just the facts.
The congress is going to need a lot more time than 2 years to turn this train wreck around....
