Wednesday October 8, 2008
Categories: Nation-Building
I confess that I wasn't really watching the debate because I had any interest in what McCain would say. I already know who I am voting for and I already know where McCain stands on all the issues, except for...

You know, a lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11...
A lot of you? How about all of us.
Another "great leader".
So true and insightful...we do need a visionary leader, one who will, during this difficult time help us to create and hold a vision, and in doing so, turn this economic situation into an opportunity for service in the spirit of giving not only getting. We all can come together and DO come together in times of need--it is our nature as human beings and American citizens. Lead us he will, thank you Barack Obama for wanting to lead us at this trying time of our nations history.
First and foremost as I read below the paragraph I noticed the comment box and the first one seemed a bit harsh. Each and every one of us will never forget 9/11 it was a tragic loss for many family's. It doesn't mater who you are or where your from. Pain was felt deep within our hearts. As for Obama he is very powerful in conducting his speech he stay's focused on the need of all the people who need him durning this difficult economic situation. We need a man like Obama someone who will be there to help us all.
I thought Obama gave a great answer to that question.
I could not believe Obama wants increased oil production! That is exactly what we do NOT need. We need to break our oil-dependence, not strenghten it. Yes, I know we are far too dependent on foreign sources for our oil, but the bad medicine of increased production will NOT help that. Diversified energy sources, especially lower carbon sources, is what we need. We need it too badly to risk diverting our resources on increased oil production.
Since Oct 8th, we have already seen the price of oil drop w/o a significant increase in production. So no, we do not need increased production to bring the price down either.
