God Bless America

YouTube featured a compilation of John McCain's "senior moments" today when you pulled up the site.  Frightening is the thought that he is the best we have to offer for the future of what once was the greatest country on earth until the Bush regime got its hands on it.  The past 8 years have been historic in the abandonment of ethics, our children and all that the USA once stood for.  Equality, freedom and original thought has been derailed.  Public education is viewed as an epidemic by experts, TIME magazine's cover reads "Drop Out Nation".  Surprisingly, Buffalo Schools were not featured on the cover.  At one high school the actual graduation rate was 37% . Maybe it's like when we hear Bush saying the economy is strong, we look at each other and ask if he's living in the same country we are?  The secret recession our leadership refuses to admit is real, keeps creeping into our wallets with each passing paycheck.  We know it's real, why don't they?  McCain is unfit, just as Bush has proved himself to be. Bush's legacy will be nothing but shame. Remember Reagan was depending on an Astrologer for advice and McCain was a key member of the Keating 5.  The Republicans have their work cut out for them if they are to survive.  Mobil Oil made $12 billion in the last reported quarterly earnings.  This has broken all profit records. Oprah just did a special with Anderson Cooper walking around disgusting, unlivable and unbelievably shameful conditions found in our urban schools. Again it was surprising that Buffalo was not featured. Just think, we have the unique distinction of being the first Americans in history to watch a corporation reel in twelve billion in profits while our soldiers sit in dust storms, eat bullets and tolerate extended tours of duty separated from families and babies all to protect, what was that again they said we were doing there?

secret receission? Learn what one is before you make that comment. Yes we have had a down turn in the economy, but a recession this is not. A receission is a negative Gross Demostic Product that happens consecutively over 2 quarters. Since this has not happened this is not a recession.

Billion dollar profits yes, but they also paid billions in taxes and only have made a 7% profit, which falls far short of other companies such as Microsoft. Why do we not have windfall profit taxes on them? or any other company that makes 7% profit? Comon stop being an uninformed student of the game. Gather some facts, then start your little blog.

7:59 is correct. Many other types of companies have much higher profit percentages than do oil companies. By comparison, oil co profits are not among the highest. Not even close.

This blog is not doing a good job so far of knowing the facts.

7% at 12 billion? The war was staged for profiteering.

Jester is the perfect name for you. Nothing but a clown. Yeah this war was staged for profiteering. So what, all wars are. The Romans didnt invade other lands because they wanted to fight.
