OPEC Is Irrelevant for Now

Obama is putting all his eggs in a few baskets, except oil. A affordable hybrid is a long way off. To pay 30 to 40 K for a hybrid is not affordableto the middle class that expects to carry a mortgage, raise kids, save money, etc. and middle class is more like 80 K a year, not 250 K as Obama presumes.

Wind power will take awhile to get going, solar power likewise and neither power cars.

Obama has deliberately not talked about drilling in the U.S. on land and off shore but that is one way our people can be put to work immediately and the money stays "at home" . Put a import tax on all middle east, Venezuelan and Russian oil now .

I would rather buy a demo or late model lease car, not have car payments and then not have $4.00 gas hurt the budget.
